Maruzen is located by the ocean in Toba City, in Mie, Japan. The establishment’s name comes from the fact that its owner is an Ama (traditional Japanese woman pearl diver). An array of fresh seafood from the ocean right in front of the Ryokan is served to guests daily. This Ryokan also supports the movement to make Ama pearl divers listed as a World Heritage tradition.

Kinnotake Tonosawa, an inn with hot-springs at Tonosawa, Hakone. All guest rooms are equipped with an outdoor bath!

A sense of liberation — That’s something Kinnotake Tonosawa inn can offer you.
Kinnotake (literally ‘Golden Bamboo’) Tonosawa opened in 2013 in the middle of Tonosawa forest, hoping to create a Japanese inn where you and your valued person can enjoy the luxury of the sense of liberation allowed to adults.
When you cross the suspension bridge built over a ravine, the sound of nature makes you forget everyday life, and time starts passing slowly.
On each guest room terrace, in addition to an outdoor bathtub filled with “Golden” hot-spring water, you can relax on a sofa a bit larger than an ordinary one. All things at Kinnotake Tonosawa inn provide you with the supreme sense of liberation in a very slow passage of time.
This inn has cleared away existing preconceptions by, for example, not placing television sets and partitions such as closets in guest rooms. It is designed to bring you and your family/partners closer in a new unusual surrounding, full of nature.
Please experience the luxury of liberation at this inn.

Tendo Onsen boasts over 100 years of history as one of Yamagata’s most well-known hot springs. Located just 15 minutes from the Tendo Train Station, the “Taki no Yu” Hotel is a popular ryokan that upholds the elegance and tradition distinctive of hot-spring guest houses, and offers hospitality that is suited to modern day needs. They offer 16 unique types of guest rooms, and among those you will definitely want to experience the room with a panoramic view of the Tendo townscape and a private outdoor bath, as well as the modern Japanese style room that combines a traditional Japanese guest room with a twin bed room. Various unique characteristics shine in the annex, “Ki no Hana”. Of course, the room is great for two people, but it is perfect for a family stay as well. In addition, the beautiful traditional Japanese deluxe suite “Shiki Tei”,  built in the traditional sukiya zukuri-style, is also enchanting. 
At the restaurant “Kurazen”, you can enjoy the taste of Yamagata made from pesticide-free, homegrown seasonal vegetables in a private dining room. The large communal bath is perfect for those who want to enjoy the hot springs in a relaxed and spacious setting. The waters are also well-known for being mild and promoting beautiful skin.”

Ryokans are traditional inns found widely across Japan and have been a central part of Japanese culture for centuries. In the West they are comparable to a bed & breakfast, but Ryokans usually also offer dinner (and breakfast) and are located near “onsen” hot springs or other sightseeing spots and are popular getaway locations for tourists throughout the year. Ryokans are also patterned on classical Japanese houses and often contain “tatami” woven mat flooring accented by “shoji” screens (sliding paper doors), “zabuton” (sitting cushions), and floor sleeping on “futon” (sleeping quilts).
