The luxury of going shoeless for an entire day
One of the differences between Western-style hotels and traditional Japanese ryokans is that you take off your shoes at the entrance. The experience of being guided to your guest room while stepping on tatami mats marks the beginning of your immersion in Japanese culture.
Designed footwear cabinet
A traditional Japanese ryokan is considered a private space where guests can relax. Guests can leave their footwear in a bamboo and chestnut wood cabinet on the wall and enjoy a relaxing time as if it were their own home.
Meet seasonal traditions at the entrance
HOSHINOYA Tokyo has luxurious and Japanese simplicity in the financial district of Otemachi. Upon entering the entrance, you will meet seasonal settings reflecting the Japanese year-time chronicle, marking the beginning of your ryokan stay.
"Tower of ryokan" entirely floored with tatami mats.
The tatami flooring begins at the entrance and continues into the elevator, the corridors on each floor, and the guest rooms. In this 17-story ryokan, you can sense the scent of rush grass and feel the tatami mats.
