And 15,000 yen is around $150. It's still expensive…
I appreciate for education of the real Japanese manners, and so does other locals.
Love the guy just took the Yukata as a souvenir.
The primitive dining furniture would not be compatible with my legs.
I will go to Japan just to experience Ryokan. So cool!
Been to Japan many times but never stayed in Ryokan. I feel very uncomfortable being naked infront of people. Is there any ryokan that allows me to wear swimsuit?
What is the name of the ryokan featured in 00:22?
If/when I go to Japan, I'm definitely staying in a place like this
Many tourists to Japan, after they return back to their home countries, can not stop speaking about their amazing Ryokan experiences in Japan. I was like that too.
Staying at a traditional Japanese Inn is so much more than simply finding a place to sleep. The staff, the food, the ambiance, the gardens, the baths, the incredible comfort and the delving into Japanese Culture is not to be missed. Believe me, you will always remember your Ryokan stay with fond memories.
I am preparing to take another group to visit my Japanese friends in their small villages in the Japanese countryside. And I just know that one of the standout experiences for them will be staying at beautiful Ryokans.
Wow!! It’s a traditional but luxury one.. a great information
Saya suka budaya dan pakaian osin
I am new in Japanese and this video give me insight to try ryokan while I stay in Japan. Thank you…
Travel for the Ryokan, get one with the meals, and do your research.
Can you bring children to a Ryokan? Would love to visit Japan with my family.
great video, thanx from sweden. This is on my bucket list
This seems SO FUN. FUCK. I need to get there haha.
Could you say something about the proper/polite way to interact with the staff?
(I guess I’m thinking particularly about the “personal-host” with whom you would primarily interact.)
— How should I address them?
— Is it appropriate/expected for me to introduce myself? Can/should I ask the personal-host’s name?
— Is tipping ever appropriate (or expected)?
If so, when and how much?
If not, would it be appropriate to, say, leave a small gift? If so, what might be suitable? (Maybe something I brought from home for this purpose?)
❤❤❤
10 minutes reduced to 10 seconds of 'How to stay in a Ryokan':
Enter through the front door, remove your shoes, greet the host, enter your room, shower before bathing, eat the provided food, sleep in the provided bedding, exit the following morning after thanking the host.
The staff culture seems so intimate. I feel like having staff paying so close attention to me would make me feel so afraid I'm doing something wrong & disappointing them. Im used to being safely ignored
To much work staying there
where is this 5:37 ?
How strict are ryokan about visible tattoos?
旅館のご飯は日本人でも苦手な人が多いのですが、興味があるなら一度は試してみてください！
now I'm even more intimidated 😨
Will I not be allowed in hot springs and baths as a woman with tattoos?
What would the staff do if I closed my robe the opposite way since I am left handed. Would they correct me?
This is not their needs. Poor Japanese authority.
I have a full body suit tattoo in the American traditional style and some Japanese traditional, I want to enjoy the springs but I fear they’ll reject me outright
People are intimidated by the many rules Japanese people seem to live by but for me, it makes life so much easier. You always know how to behave in order to not look like a fool or be rude. Everything is so well organised and logically set in place. Just be polite and respectful, it's not hard.
Thanks for video about ryokan.
Tell me must i wear yukata during of bteakfast or dinner?
What is the name of this ryokan please?
Gave me a headache. Too many rules. Think I'd be too afraid to get out of bed the wrong way.
Wondering why there is chinese on explaining the baths. We would get a private bath though to bathe together. Bathing is better with a loved one to talk to and relax with.
If your American…..
I'd still like to visit. I just need a decent amount of money first. 🙂
great😀
