Ryokan Wadoh
368-0001 Saitama, Chichibu, Kuroya 813, Japan – Great location - show map
Great ryokan experience in a charming valley in Saitama Prefecture. Near the Arakawa (river), Mount Hodo, and the town of Nagatoro (with equally charming shopping streets and riverside park) it is ideally situated for hikers, river lovers, and nature enthusiasts. The ryokan itself was very comfortable: we opted for a room with a private bath on the balcony, with views of the river and Sakura trees (charming in the winter, but likely spectacular in cherry blossom season). Food was delicious and seasonal, staff was helpful and attentive, public baths were well appointed and clean. We will likely come back. Thank you!
United States of AmericaThe room with onsen was great with a nice sitting area that allows you to sip tea and gaze at the scenery outside. It's the place to go if you really want to relax. In spring, you will be able to see cherry blossoms from some rooms and they even offer you a night tour for cherry blossom gazing at just 300 yen per pax. There's also public onsen available. Food was elaborate and delicious. Service was impeccable upon check-in and the reception staff can speak good English. The meal service ladies were gracious and polite. Breakfast was nice with set meal and even a buffet for sides! Their miso potato is really delicious. The location is a short drive to hitsujiyama park where you can enjoy sights of shibazakura in late apr - early may.

JapanThe hotel staff gave us a ride to the dining place for dinner and took us back safely. It was very nice as we didn't have to walk so far at night.
JapanThe staff were fabulous and extremely helpful. I would stay again on holiday.
AustraliaThe food is good and the service is friendly. The private outdoor onsen inside the room is very good. The sakura blossom outside the balcony is nice.
Hong Kong建物は古い感じでしたが お部屋は綺麗な感じにしていると思いました。 新館への宿泊でしたので 建て増しだったのかフロントからのお部屋までが分かりにくい感じでした。 スタッフの方はとても親切で気持ち良い対応で心地よく滞在しました。 娘との二人旅でしたが 娘の大満足で又こちらの施設に宿泊したいと言っています。

-
- What's a ryokan?
- A ryokan is a traditional Japanese inn. They usually feature bathhouses, multicourse 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 travelers has evolved into a popular destination for relaxation surrounded by therapeutic mineral springs.
-
- What are the big differences between a ryokan and a hotel?
- Unlike a hotel, where the guest room is just a place to turn in for the night, a ryokan is more than just a place to sleep. In Japan, many travelers journey long distances to relax in a hot spring bath and feast on a traditional multicourse dinner – staying in a ryokan is an experience in and of itself. These ryokans typically have Japanese-style rooms with woven-straw floors and futon beds (no Western beds and carpeting). You should also remove your shoes at the entrance of the room, or before you enter it. Modern ryokans might serve buffet-style meals in a dining area, while more traditional ryokans tend to serve in-room dinners. Some ryokan rooms have a private bathroom, and others might just have a shared bathroom.
-
- What's a kaiseki meal?
- Kaiseki is the culinary highlight at a ryokan, embodying beautifully presented dishes that delight both the palate and the eyes. Every one of the 10 to 15 dishes that make up the multicourse Japanese dinner is prepared in a way that highlights the unique textures, colors, and flavors of featured seasonal ingredients and local specialties. Most commonly served at special restaurants and ryokans, a traditional kaiseki dinner usually consists of bite-size appetizers, fresh sashimi (raw fish, like sushi), soup, grilled fish or meat, a hot-pot dish, rice with miso soup, and a small dessert.
-
- What's a yukata?
- A yukata is a casual summer kimono or robe, typically made of light cotton. Many ryokans provide guests with yukata robes during their stay. In some areas, it's common to see guests strolling through the neighborhood in their yukatas. The loose-fitting garment is perfect for sleeping and relaxing in.
-
- How should I wear a yukata?
- First, put your arms through the sleeves like you would with a robe. 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 level at your ankles. 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's 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.
-
- What's standard bathing etiquette?
- At a bathhouse—onsen or not—guests are expected to remove all clothing 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 should not put towels in the water.
-
- Why are tattoos not allowed?
- While tattoos have become more popular among Japan's youth, many Japanese people still associate them with outlaws and organized crime. Nowadays, not all businesses ban customers with tattoos, but you might still be refused admission to bathhouses and swimming pools. Small tattoos can be covered up using waterproof bandaids, but keep in mind that each property has the final say on what’s acceptable.
