THE RYOKAN COLLECTION

This is a popular Western-style room. It is rather unusual for a ryokan, since guests can wear shoes instead of removing them before entering the main room, which boasts leather Western-style furniture. Sleeping is on twin beds. The rotemburo outdoor bath is a big, blue ceramic bowl-shaped tub, filled with hot spring water and shaded by louvres for privacy. The indoor bath is a free-standing white porcelain tub, also filled with hot spring water.
