旅館

・What makes a ryokan unique.

伝統的/食事: Many ryokans offer traditional rooms and meals for overnight stays.

象徴的な(独自の)/一体となる: Japanese ryokans have their iconic style that become one with nature or townscape.

・What are some do's and don'ts in a ryokan?

どんちゃん騒ぎ: We sometimes make a ruckus until midnight at ryokan.

・Aside from sleeping and resting, what else can you do in a ryokan.

食事/温泉: Popular ryokans in Japan offer nice meals and hot springs.

浴衣: We can put on 'yukata' that is a casual and single-layered cotton 'kimono' after taking a hot spring. 

日本を感じる: Wearing a casual kimono can gives a true Japanese atmosphere.

・What are the disadvantages of staying in a ryokan?

高級/財布に優しくない： Popular ryokans in Japan are classy. So it's NOT easy on the wallet. 

食事付: 1 night, 2 meals is common, so we don't have a chance to visit the popular restaurants.
