Overview

Situated in the popular Dotonbori district of Osaka, Kaneyoshi Ryokan is a historic property that offers a traditional stay in the heart of urbanity. Its exteriors betray no signs of a ryokan hiding behind a rather plain modern facade; however, the interiors show all the signs of traditional Japanese aesthetics. The property even has a large communal bath, and yukata and towels provided in the rooms.

The ryokan embraces modernity with its co-working space, entirely done up in tatami mats. Tables and counter spaces are available as well, or you can just lounge on one of the beanbag chairs! Book a room at Kaneyoshi Ryokan for an authentically Japanese stay in the heart of Osaka!

History

Kaneyoshi Ryokan was founded in 1919 during the Taisho era and the rooms and public bath are indicative of its history.

Design and Architecture

The rooms follow traditional Japanese design choices and are fitted with tatami mats, chabudai, tatami chairs, futons, and shoji sliding doors. The public bath is fitted with Showa-era wall tiles, adding another touch of history! The co-working space doesn't shy away from traditions either with tatami floors and shoji screen windows. There's a huge painting of Mount Fuji here, and towards the other end of the room is a space fitted with large chabudai tables where you can work.

Cultural etiquette

  • Bowing (ojigi): It's advisable to bow to show respect when greeting someone. It can also be done to show gratitude or convey an apology.
  • Shoe etiquette: You must remove your outside footwear before stepping on the elevated area of the genkan (entrance) and entering a house. You should also ensure not to step on the lower area of the genkan without your shoes on. Shoes must be kept facing the entrance. If you wear socks, they should be clean and without any holes.
  • Slipper etiquette: It's usually better to wear fresh socks or slippers inside the house, especially for formal situations. Make sure to remove your slippers before stepping into a room with tatami mats on the floor. There should also be a separate set of slippers for the washroom.
  • Dining etiquette: How you hold and place your chopsticks while dining is crucial. For example, they shouldn't be held upright when eating rice. You must also place them on a holder when you're not using them. It's good to say "Itadakimasu" before starting a meal and "Gochisousama deshita" after completing it.
  • Tipping etiquette: Tipping isn't a common practice in Japan and may be considered rude.
  • Luggage etiquette: Luggage, especially those with wheels, should be carried instead of being dragged across the floor as it might damage the tatami mats or wooden flooring.
  • Photography etiquette: Photography rules can change from place to place, so make sure to check for signs or ask the staff before taking pictures anywhere.
  • Queueing etiquette: Make sure to maintain queues and never cut in line.
  • Onsen etiquette: Some onsens don't allow tattoos, so check with the staff before getting into one. You must also shower and be clean before entering a shared onsen bath.
  • Bathing etiquette: Japanese baths include separate areas for washing while the tub itself is meant only for soaking. This means bathers must first wash, scrub, and rinse themselves before entering the bath tub.
