Many ryokan sprang up in the 17th century to put up feudal lords (领主) traveling along Tokaido highway to Edo (now Tokyo). Today tourists looking for a taste of the country’s historic lifestyle find varying levels of understated elegant in ryokan throughout the country.
A typical stay starts with a greeting from the inn’s staff and a change from street shoes into slippers. An attendant leads guests to their rooms, where slippers are removed before walking on the rice straw flooring, called tatami. Walking slowly along behind a kimono-clad (和服) attendant on the creaky wood floods of Fukuzumiro ryokan’s hallways is like stepping back in time. The inn was established in 1890 by a former samurai(武士).
