Check out our room at the ryokan!

Upon arrival at our room, we had to take off our shoes because only bare or stocking feet are allowed on the tatami mat floor. The only thing in the middle of the room is the low table, three chairs, and a tea service. After our bath and dinner, our sitting room was transformed by our maid into a bedroom with mats arranged on the floor for beds. Three of us shared this room. We slept with the windows open so we could hear the mountain stream as it passed by our inn. I think it was the best night's sleep that I have had since I arrived!
