Ryokan

Even more expensive, but also more luxurious, why not taste the luxury of a ryokan, the traditional Japanese inn? That is the topic of this new article on where to stay in Shikoku during the pilgrimage of the 88 temples

Definition:

The ryokan (旅館), literally the house (館) of travel/traveler (旅), is a typical Japanese inn. The traveler sleeps in a traditional Japanese-style room (washitsu) with a simple futon (mattress) placed on tatami mats. Meals can be taken in the room or in a dining room.

Practical information:

A ryokan generally must, as with minshuku, be booked in advance or at the latest in the morning for the evening. Booking is done by phone (almost exclusively in Japanese). As with minshuku, you will find phone numbers for ryokan in the guidebook Shikoku Japan 88 Route Guide. The name of the ryokan is preceded by “R.”
