A ryokan is a traditional Japanese inn featuring tatami-mat rooms, futon bedding, communal or private baths, and multi-course kaiseki meals. Guests typically wear yukata (cotton robes) provided by the inn. A ryokan stay is one of the most authentic cultural experiences Japan has to offer.

What should I wear at the ryokan?

Upon arrival, you'll be provided with a yukata (light cotton robe) and a pair of slippers. You can wear the yukata throughout the ryokan — to dinner, to the onsen, and even for a stroll in the neighborhood. Indoor slippers should be removed before stepping on tatami mats.

About

A short walk from this hotel takes you to Itsukushima Shrine and the floating torii at the heart of Miyajima. Unwind in one of two large public baths, warm up in the sauna, or reserve the complimentary private bath for time to yourselves. English-speaking staff help with island logistics, and staying overnight lets you enjoy Miyajima in the calm hours before and after the day crowds.

Cuisine

Kaiseki dinner and Japanese breakfast are usually included at this mid-tier ryokan. Sudomari (room-only) plans may be offered as a cheaper alternative — verify the meal plan when booking. Dining is most often served in a communal dining hall.

Dietary requests (vegetarian, halal, gluten-free, allergies) should be communicated at booking, not on arrival — the kitchen pre-orders ingredients several days ahead.
