Reasons for this Blog

Many holiday makers find difficulty in booking hotels and ryokans in Japan. The ryokans or traditional Japanese inn owners are usually unfamiliar with foreign languages other than the Japanese language. It is because of this difficulty in communication that foreigners have missed the opportunity to enjoy the traditional Japanese hospitality.
Most of the big western type of hotels in Japan do not display the real Japanese hospitality. They are too commercialised and although the service is generally better than in most countries,they still lack the traditional touch of the Japanese hospitality.
In ryokans,which are mainly owned and operate by the Japanese families,the guests would be able to interact with the hosts and hostesses.
A family owned ryokan is mostly made up of a few units and so the service is more personalised. Breakfast and dinner are usually included in the booking of the ryokans.
Most ryokans do not accept credit cards but instead prefer payment in cash. This makes it all the more difficult for a foreigner to make reservation of ryokans from overseas.
Hence,this blog is created to simply and help foreigners book the ryokans besides other assistances eg. booking of bus and train tickets and itenary,tours, etc.
