Ryokan
Understanding of manners at ryokan (traditional Japanese inns) prior visit is important. Unlike hotels, ryokan usually has strict time schedules for meal time and rules on manners. As long as you adhere to these rules, you will enjoy landlady’s services provided with Japan’s unique spirit of hospitality called ‘omotenashi’, delicious meals placed over a table, and puffy futon mattresses that are awaiting you.
