Experiences
Luxury ryokan: what to expect from your stay
by Redazione Hotel5stelle ·
Schedules, onsen rules and kaiseki dinner: a practical guide.
A ryokan is not a hotel with tatami. The rhythm of the day is set by arrival, bath and dinner.
Arrival
You arrive in the late afternoon, often by 17:00: dinner is an appointment.
Onsen and tattoos
Some public onsen forbid tattoos; private in-room baths solve the issue.
Dinner
Kaiseki is a sequence of small seasonal courses. Flag allergies and dietary needs in advance.
