3. Wow! Ryokan is a place to really turn into Japanese!
I had a chance to stay in Ryokan(旅館）,
Yes!! I was able to have a unique experience of
actually wearing cotton Kimono（浴衣）!!
Usually, at Ryokan, a free kimono is provided
to wear instead of robe or gown.
it's my very first time and that was so cute and fun to wear !!
We also can enjoy other Japanese experience
such that;
staff members are all wearing Kimono to entertain guests
and give warm hospitality(in a very Japanese way)
But, I made a mess and have to apologize...
When I went into Onsen(hot-spring),
I went in there with my shoes on till soak in a bath,
Actually, you have to take off shoes
at the entrance of Ryokan,
and wear slippers or room Geta(wooden clogs)
while walk around hallways,
then once you enter into Onsen area,
you have to be bare foot.
Well, so what are my tips for staying in Ryokan?
if you know how to do,
You don't need to be embarrassed anything at all,
Rather, you can have lots of fun!!
Eventually, you could have an experience
of turning into real Japanese!!!
Here are my tips,
1) Take off your shoes
when you enter into entrance of Ryokan
and never put them back on till you leave the inn.
2) You can wear cotton kimono
and proudly walk around hallway.
3)If Ryokan has Onsen 温泉(hot-springs) ,
rinse your body, before stepping into the bath.
4)If you have tattoos, some Onsen won't arrow
you to enter. coz Japanese Yakuza --our Mafia-- have tatoos
Did you get my advice?
So why don’t you go ahead and enjoy staying at Ryokan then!!

3. Wow!! 旅館は日本人化できる場所！？
旅館に泊まったよ。
うん！浴衣を着るという体験ができた！
通常、旅館では浴衣が
ローブやガウンのように提供されていて
とっても可愛くて着るの楽しかったよ！！
その他にも日本を楽しむことが出来たよ
従業員はみな着物を着ていて、
手厚いおもてなしを受けられたよ。
しかし、温泉で台無しにしてしまい
誤らないといけないことに・・・。
温泉に浸かる直前まで靴を履いていたのだ。
本当は玄関で靴を脱いで
廊下は室内用の下駄かスリッパを履き、
温泉の入り口では完全に裸足になる。
では、旅館で心がけることは？
どうするか分かっていたら、
混乱する必要はないね。
どころか、楽しめる！！
最終的に日本人化！？の体験を
することができるよ。
ヒントの一部はこちら、
1) 旅館の玄関で靴を脱ぎ
外出するまでは履かない。
2) 浴衣は廊下などの旅館の中で
着て歩き回れる。
3) 温泉では、温泉に浸かる前に
身体を洗う事。
4) 刺青のある方は、一部の温泉では入場を
お断りされるかも。
アドバイスわかりましたか？
