## Useful Hints for First-Time Visitors to Japanese Inns (Ryokan or Yadoya)

### Useful Hints

**1. Guests are required to remove their shoes before they enter the inn** This is because the floors of the rooms are covered with soft, thick straw mats (tatumi). These, kept spotlessly clean, are somewhat delicate and easily damaged. Moreover, on these straw mats is placed the low table on which meals are served. It is, therefore, as natural as it is imperative for all guests to observe this cleanly Japanese custom. When once the guest has lived in a Japanese room, for however short a time, he understands why it would be impossible to wear shoes in a Japanese house or inn.

For walking along the corridors, slippers are provided, which are not, however, to be used inside the rooms. Those who suffer from cold feet would do well to take an extra pair of warm socks or bedroom slippers with felt soles. — p. 33 ([scan leaf 33](https://archive.org/details/hotels-in-japan/page/n33/mode/1up))

**2. Guests are conducted to their rooms as soon as they arrive** Upon the guests’ arrival they are very cordially received by the innkeepers (shujin), his helpful wife (okamisan), maid (neisan) and man servants (bantoh . Then, without any preliminary talk as to rates, etc., which is usual at hotels, guests are conducted to their rooms, and, unless otherwise told, foreigners are generally always conducted to the best suite. This usually consists of a large room and one or more small rooms, separated by sliding wall-panels (fusuma; karakami). These fusuma constitute the partitions throughout the house, except in the modern inns with their rooms separated by thick walls. On these fusuma there are neither locks nor catches. Therefore, guests who feel uneasy about the safety of their valuables are advised to have them deposited in the safe of the inn. In cases when guests find that the rooms first shown to them is unsuitable, they may of course ask the maid to show them another. — p. 33 ([scan leaf 33](https://archive.org/details/hotels-in-japan/page/n33/mode/1up))

**3. Guests are led to the bath after resting** As a rule, the Japanese take their bath before supper, which is usually about six. Before going to the bath, guests change their dress, in warm weather, to a light dressing-gown (yukata) and, in the cold season, another padded one (dotera; tanzen), which are lent gratis by the inn. These Japanese kimonos are newly washed and they are not only useful to wear when going to the bath but also in the sitting-room, as sitting on the tatami in foreign clothes is apt to crease them and cause cramp, these kimonos may be also worn for walking out of doors. Except those inns of high-grade, or at the hot-spring resorts where hot water is abundant, the inns are seldom equipped with private baths, and the bath is used by all the guests in common. However, mixed bathing here is discountenanced. Foreign visitors who object to bathing together with their fellow-guests can avoid this by asking the innkeeper, who will make the necessary arrangements. In the Japanese bath, soap (shabon) is not used inside the bath, as, in order to keep the water in the bath clean, the guest first washes with soap outside the tub by soaping, scrubbing, often pumicing and then rinses himself with water taken from the bath in a small wooden bowl. For the guests’ convenience a little stool is provided. For washing the face and hands, lavatories or wash-stands (sen-men-jo) are usually provided in the corridors. Guests may also shave there, or in the guests’ room, where hot water (o-yu) may always be had for the purpose. Toilet (ben-jo) which is flush at most first class inns is provided usually at the end or corner of the corridor. If visitor is unable to find it he should not hesitate to ask the maid. — p. 33 ([scan leaf 33](https://archive.org/details/hotels-in-japan/page/n33/mode/1up))

**4. Food is served in the guests’ room, generally at whatever hour desired** The dishes of the three meals at an inn are somewhat alike. They ordinarily consist of soup (sometimes of two kinds), fish in some form, boiled eggs or omelette, chopped delicacies, vegetables, sliced pickles, etc., and boiled rice (gohan). The guest may eat as many bowls of rice as he wishes. Two or three are usually taken by the average Japanese. The maid (neisan) serves during the meal. She sits near the low table or lacquered tray (o-zen), on which all the dishes are placed in a certain order, and she is ready to refill the china bowl with steaming rice from a wooden tub, or to serve her guests in any other way. To foreign guests who prefer — p. 34 ([scan leaf 33](https://archive.org/details/hotels-in-japan/page/n33/mode/1up))

**5. Guest room serves for dining-room, drawing-room, and bed-room** The bed is made in the middle of the room by spreading over thickly-wadded quilts (futon) on the mats, a single undersheet being attached. The cover is also a thickly-padded futon, usually covered by clean white linen. Should the foreign guests find the absence of a spring mattress rather distressing, they may make the Japanese bed still soft by piling up two or three futon between them and the straw mats (tatami). Extra futon may be had on application. The Japanese pillow is rather tightly stuffed with oat-husks, but foreign tourists may have a softer pillow by folding or doubling a cushion (zabuton) which is used while sitting on the floor. A brazier (hibachi), provides the only heating in the Japanese rooms. It is always put in a convenient place. In the large hibachi, the iron tripod (gotoku) with live charcoal in the middle is laid, and on this a quaint kettle (tetsubin) filled with water is set to keep a constant supply of boiling water. Near the hibachi is placed a dainty tray with a porcelain tea-pot (kyūsu), several teacups and a metal canister of green tea (o-cha) which is supplied by the inn free of charge. In respect of heating it should be pointed out that many inns have now gas and electric-heating, while there are a few which have installed central-heating throughout their premises.

In order to avoid the disturbing attacks of mosquitoes (ka) in summer, the inns provide mosquito-nets (kaya), usually dyed green, and almost as large as the room in which they are hung. Mosquito bites are not dangerous at all, but very vexatious. In large hygienic cities where little water is exposed there are scarcely any mosquitoes at all even in summer. — p. 36 ([scan leaf 35](https://archive.org/details/hotels-in-japan/page/n35/mode/1up))

**6. Customary charges includes lodging, breakfast and supper** The Japanese native inns are accustomed to charge a daily flat rate for lodging (including bath, attendance, etc.), breakfast and supper. The midday meal is extra, and is not served unless ordered. Any special dishes, as well as sake, beer, and in fact any drinks except Japanese green tea, etc., are extra. Prices vary according to the size and quality of the room and the kind of accommodation offered. As a rule a modest room is with plain food and plain quilts for sleeping. Better apartments have better food and quilts. These range from 3 to 5 yen in country inns, and 5 to 8 yen in city inns. Luncheon may cost from 1.50 yen up. Of course, the guests have the option of deciding the class of accommodation they desire, but, owing perhaps to the national trait which hates to argue about money matters, in some places guests are not asked to decide beforehand whether they will be treated as first, second, third class, or even higher class guests.

Formerly, the perplexing chadai (tea-price) system prevailed in this country. Thus, when a traveller arrived at an inn, he handed to the proprietor, in addition to tips to servants, a gratuity for the service he expected to receive while staying under his roof. This system is gradually being abolished, however, and a tip based on a 10% minimum is being adopted instead. Where the “chadai” system prevails the guests are expected to give as chadai the equivalent of 30% of the daily rate for each person. This sum may vary according to the attention offered. The inns, on which the Hotel Coupons are drawn by the Japan Tourist Bureau, accept no chadai, and include all first class inns to be found in principal cities and resorts throughout the country. The coupons will thus be of considerable benefit to foreign tourists intending to patronize the native inns. Even when using Japan Tourist Bureau coupons, however, tips (chippu ; shūgi) to servants are extra, the minimum being calculated as 10% of the total inn charges. It is usual to pay the above chadai and tips when paying the bill, leaving the innkeeper to distribute the tips among the servants. — p. 36 ([scan leaf 35](https://archive.org/details/hotels-in-japan/page/n35/mode/1up))
