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.
Kurayoshi is a city located in the central part of Tottori Prefecture. The name of Kurayoshi in the Japanese language is formed from two kanji characters. The first, ?, means "warehouse", a historical feature of the city, and the second, ? means "good" or "good fortune". You’ll find the spirit of the people here is strong and they adhere to the traditional way of life. That’s expertly on display at Shirakabe Dozo Gun — a historical Meiji-era setting of white-walled warehouses and a place you can spend all day exploring. In between, why not try out these unique foods and drinks for a spot of cultural refreshment.
