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.
It takes 60 minutes by highway bus from JR Maiko station (pick-up service at Awajishima Minami IC bus stop) or 70 minutes by express bus from JR Sannomiya station (pick-up service at Riku no Minato Seidan IC bus stop) to reach Umemaru Ryokan. A reservation is needed for pick-up service.
