Out of the many things you can enjoy in Japan, staying at a “旅館 ryokan,” must be something that many of you are looking forward to do.

However, what is your image of a ryokan? If your answer is “a Japanese style hotel,” that is not wrong, but it is not a sufficient answer either.

So today, I would like to explain about the definition of a ryokan, and the three main differences between a ryokan and a hotel in Japan. Also at the end of the video, I will give you advice on how to choose the perfect ryokan for you.

By watching this video, you will be able to select the perfect stay for your trip to Japan, and remember your ryokan experience even more.
