  • Is the bed in the single an actual bed raised away from the floor, or is it a futon that is placed on the floor or tatami mat? Please explain. Thank you!

    Thank you for the query. We use traditional futon, instead of a western style bed on the floor. We will add the depth of futon if requested. Best Regards, Engawa
