What is a Ryokan? Ryokans are the best way to experience Japanese culture and enjoy the true comforts of Japanese hospitality and service.
Hot springs have a very long history in Japan, and they are an intimate part of Japanese culture. There are over 3,000 "onsen" ,or hot springs, in Japan. Many can be found at the ryokans available on Japanese Guest Houses.

Welcome to Kinokuniya Honkan. There are 2 main accommodation areas in this building complex - Kinokuniya Honkan (original building) and Kinokuniya Bekkan (annex). Kinokuniya Honkan is a Modern Ryokan and it first opened for business in 1715, during the Edo Period. This building was rebuilt in the 1930s after the original was lost in an earthquake. Kinokuniya Honkan has been patronized by many distinguished visitors, including President Ulysses S. Grant of the United States. There are 10, 14, and 16 tatami mat Japanese-style guest rooms at the ryokan, and there are a total of 15 large and small shared hot spring baths throughout the premises (same gender only). Kinokuniya Honkan also has ""family baths"" which means that if no one is using a particular hot spring bath a family can hang up a sign outside the bath and bathe privately. For those interested in Japanese history, there are many historical art works and manuscripts on display. Kinokuniya Honkan serves fresh, seasonal Japanese-style cuisine throughout the year. Check-in time is after 14:00 and check-out time is before 10:00 am. Free parking is available.
