Ryokan Naruto Kaigetsu
772-0053 Tokushima, Naruto, Naruto-cho Tosadomariura Fukuike 65-8, Japan – Great location - show map
The location. Spectacular views. Wonderfully accommodating staff. The Onsen.
AustraliaThe location being next to the whirlpool site was fantastic! Staying there for two nights enabled us to view the whirlpool from the Viewing Platform twice, took the ferry to view the whirlpools up close, and spend half a day at the Otsuka Museum of Art. Although the hotel’s free shuttle is scheduled, we still managed to make use of it to go to the ferry pier and then return to the hotel from the museum.
SingaporeThe location was fantastic, so close to the bridge which is a great vantage point to see the famous whirlpools, which is what attracts people to this location. There was also a great view from within the hotel itself. There was a nearby restaurant, not far away from the hotel which served good and economical meals not far from the hotel, maybe 150 meters away, but unfortunately it closes at 4pm. I also liked the staff, although they didn't speak much English, they tried and I got by, and they were obviously friendly. I also loved the shuttle bus that took me to the train station when I left.
AustraliaThe hotel is just next to the bridge, very convenient.
Hong KongI would have liked not to have the food but it was required. We could not check into the room until 3 and that was difficult but we waited in the lobal and look at the view.
JapanDelicious dinner in the room, amazing view of the bridge from lobby and room, front desk guy gave us a ride to the cruise terminal so we didn't have to call a taxi
SingaporeYou can see the Naruto bridge from the Spa and all rooms. The dinner was first class. Nice hotel and nice people.
AustriaThanks for all nice staffs' wonderful services, hope to visit again
Hong Kongフロントの方の対応、お部屋の清潔感、温泉の心地良さ、お料理の美味しさ等どれも満足でした！ 四国にお邪魔する際はまた利用させて頂きたいです。
Japanとにかく安い。 1人6千円で個室、しかもダブルベットで大の字になって寝れる。 ちゃんとアメニティも一色揃ってる。 そして何より、バイク旅で手が悴んでいたところ、フロントのお姉さんがカイロをくれたのが神対応であった。 （大浴場・サウナあり）

-
- What is a ryokan?
- A ryokan is a traditional Japanese inn. They usually feature public baths, multi-course dinners, communal spaces where guests can relax, and rooms with woven-straw flooring and futon mats. Like hotels, a range of ryokans (from budget to luxury) is available. What originated centuries ago as a free rest house for long-distance travellers has evolved into a popular destination for relaxation in therapeutic mineral springs.
-
- What are the major differences between a ryokan and a hotel?
- Unlike a hotel, where the guest room is simply a place to turn in for the night, a ryokan is more than just an accommodation place to sleep. In Japan, many travellers journey long distances solely for the purpose of relaxing in a hot spring bath and feasting on a traditional multi-course dinner – thus making staying at a ryokan an experience in and of itself. These ryokans typically have Japanese-style rooms with woven-straw flooring and futon beds, instead of Western beds and carpeting. In addition, you remove your shoes at the entrance of the accommodation, or before you enter the room. Modern ryokan may serve buffet-style meals in a dining area, while a more traditional ryokan serves in-room dinners. Some ryokan rooms may come with a private bathroom, while others will only have a shared public bathroom.
-
- What is a kaiseki meal?
- Kaiseki is the culinary highlight at a ryokan, embodied in beautifully presented dishes that delight both the palate and the eyes. Each of the 10 to 15 dishes that make up the multi-course Japanese dinner is prepared in such a way that highlights the unique textures, colours, and flavours of the featured seasonal ingredients and local specialties. Served most commonly at special restaurants and ryokan, a traditional kaiseki dinner usually consists of bite-sized appetizers, fresh sashimi (raw fish), soup, grilled fish or meat, a hot pot dish, rice with miso soup, and a small dessert.
-
- What is a yukata?
- Yukata is a casual summer kimono typically made of light cotton. Many ryokans offer guests yukata robes during their stay. In some areas, it is common to see guests strolling through the neighbourhood in their yukata. The loose-fitting garment is perfect for relaxing and sleeping in.
-
- How to wear a yukata
- First, put your arms through the sleeves like you would with a shirt. Take the right side of the yukata and wrap it across your body. Then take the left side and wrap it over the right, making sure that the robe is levelled at your ankle. Pinning the yukata closed on the right side, wrap the sash around your waist a couple of times and then tie a bow. Generally, the bow is tied around the waist for women, and the hips for men.
-
- What is a Japanese hot spring (onsen)?
- Onsen (literally ‘hot spring’) is a term often used to refer to both the mineral-rich hot springs and the bathing facilities that house them. Whether the bath is public or private, gender-segregated or mixed, indoor or outdoor, soaking and unwinding in the soothing geothermal waters at an onsen is a millennia-old custom deeply embedded in Japanese culture.
-
- Bathing procedures and etiquette
- At a public bath – onsen or not – guests are expected to shed all their clothes in their respective changing rooms before entering the bathing area. As a common courtesy, once inside the bathing area, guests should wash and rinse their bodies thoroughly before quietly stepping into the hot water. Whether you relax in solitude or converse softly with others is up to you, but guests should always be mindful of others. Wash towels are often used to cover one’s private areas while walking around. However, note that you must not put towels in the water.
-
- Why are tattoos not allowed?
- While tattoos have become more popular among the youth of Japan, many Japanese people still associate them with outlaws and organized crime. Nowadays, not all businesses ban customers with tattoos, but you may still be refused admission to public baths and swimming pools. Small tattoos may be covered up using waterproof plasters, but keep in mind that each property has the final say on what’s acceptable.
