Note for Japanese Hotel Reservation

LogoYokoso[1]

Japanese hotels consist of some types such as Hotels, Business Hotels, Resort Hotels, Onsen, Ryokan, B&B like private house accomodation, or Youth Hostels. If you are not familier with Japanese type Ryokan, maybe you should choose standard Hotels or Business Hotels, which offers western service style. Japanese Ryokan or Onsen type Ryokan is totally different, they don’t have beds in rooms and you need to put Japanese Futon or mattress on the tatami floor or straw floor when you sleep. Foods are often supplied in Ryokan at dinner and breakfast but they are mostly Japanese style. Bath is often equipped inside the room but sometimes ( maybe alway in Onsen Ryokans ) you need to take a bath at public bath place inside Ryokan Hotel facilities.

Onsen is Hotsprings. Onsen Ryokan is a type of accomodation with hotsprings. This type is a little expensive usually because it’s a kid of resort type hotel of Japan, but as above mentioned, this type is not western type hotel. You will experience Futon sleeping and big public bath taking at Onsen Ryokan. Be careful, in Japanese public baths, you don’t wear swimming suits. You need to be naked for taking baths. If you don’t like it, you should take a western style hotel with room bath.
