Get relaxed in the Japanese authentic style room
Washitsu (Japanese-style room)
Staying in a ‘washitsu’ (Japanese-style room) at a ryokan is highly recommendable if you have an interest in sampling the traditional Japanese lifestyle. The floor of a Japanese-style room is completely covered with ‘tatami’ made from rush straw.
According to the needs of the case, a Japanese-style room can serve as a dining room, a living room or a bedroom.
One precaution for using tatami rooms is removing your slippers before you step on the tatami. Shoes and slippers are never worn inside tatami rooms.
One side of your room will have an alcove called a ‘tokonoma’, the floor of which is usually slightly higher than the tatami surface. On its wall hangs a scroll with either a painting or a work of calligraphy, and usually vase of arranged flowers. The part of the room in front of the alcove is regarded as the ‘kamiza’ or place of honor and it is customary in Japan to ask guests of honor to sit in this area.
Futon
Differing from western-style beds, traditional Japanese ‘futon’ are spread out on the floor. ‘Futon’ are usually stored in the closet. The ‘shiki-buton’, or bottom quilt, is laid out over the tatami. This is covered with a sheet. The top quilt is called a ‘kake-buton’.
●Each each floor has one Refrigerator.
●Portable gas stove or kettle are not allowed in the guest room.
