Ryokan Stay with Hot Springs & Dinner
A must-do on any trip to Japan is to spend a night in a traditional Japanese inn complete with futon bedding, fabulous food and hot spring baths.
No trip to Japan would be complete without at least one night in a ryokan or traditional Japanese inn. At first staying in a ryokan may feel a little intimidating with unfamiliar rules of social etiquette, but thanks to the famous Japanese hospitality ryokan staff will soon make your feel at home.
In most ryokan, you'll be staying in a Japanese style room with sliding fusuma doors, tatami mat flooring and sleeping on futon mattresses placed directly on to the floor. Some ryokan provide western bed options but these cannot be guaranteed. On arrival your room will look rather empty apart from a low table where your kimono wearing host may serve you green tea. Cotton yukata dressing gowns are provided for guests to wear around the ryokan and we recommend slipping into your robe on arrival, then heading down the corridor for a hot soak in onsen (hot spring bath). While some ryokan have private en-suite baths, most are communal where men and women bathe separately.
In the evening, kaiseki dinner is a highlight of your stay. Seasonal ingredients are transformed into a beautifully presented multi-course dining experience. Each dish is a work of art, reflecting the precision and elegance of Japanese culinary tradition.
