The onsen with the stained glass is so beautiful- where is this?
Ah! Beyond my abilities. I am sad. Etiquette excludes me. I am a barbarian. Etsuko, help me!
You scared me, I’m going to avoid a ryokan
Nice

4:49 so much for "no bare feet" ?
This is really cool! The inn looks incredible and the hot springs look so peaceful and calming.
Is there any vegan options? Excellent video
There are many wonderful ryokan (Japanese-style inns), so please enjoy the Japanese style
A restless sleeper who sleeps in a yukata might end up with only the obi (sash) left around their waist, making the yukata look like a tailcoat haha😂
Make the most of it and enjoy!
That Yukata really suits you!!

Hmm when it comes to the onsen how can you clean yourself with water only before entering the bath? Only water is sufficient?
It looks so cool I will definitely find one to stay in :D
Thanks Raina! I have been to Nihon many times, but have never been brave enough to Ryokan. Feb 26.....I am booked to stay in several ryokan on my road trip. Thanks for the how to video!

what is the name of the one that you stayed at?
No mention of tipping.

Is it acceptable to take pictures in the garden and rooms?
I just have one question. What if you haven't mastered using chopsticks?
I know tipping is seen as unnecessary outside of the US, but I was raised that if someone provides excellent service you should leave them a tip. Is it acceptable to tip the staff? I don’t want to be offensive, but if someone provides excellent service I’d like to express it.
So many rules!
I would love to do this some day. There's a travel company that specialises in group tours to Japan which I think would be perfect for me. It would cost me a bit and part of me still wants to get a house but given how that keeps moving out of reach no matter what I do, I think I'll just end up spending on holidays instead. Life's too short.
something i've been wondering for a while and maybe some of the japanese in the comments can give m some advice. i know a lot of japanese cuisine is seafood, either fish or shellfish. how hard is it to accommodate a seafood allergy? i would love to come visit and this is honestly one of the biggest things i worry about
