Ryokan: The New Voices Of Hospitality

Staying in a ryokan, Japan’s traditional inns, is to encounter the country’s hospitality at its most refined.

But beyond the static, one-dimensional image often attached to them, ryokan reveal a remarkable diversity and vitality. Showcasing everything from centuries-old family houses to bold contemporary creations that challenge convention, this book highlights the new generations behind these inns, some safeguarding ancient traditions, others imagining the hospitality of tomorrow.

Through the voices of dedicated hosts and stories from some of the most extraordinary establishments, it explores how ryokan continue to reinvent themselves, defying demographic and economic pressures to preserve a unique cultural and material heritage. At once a journey across the archipelago and a nuanced look at an art of welcome in constant transformation.

What’s in the box?

Our products are made with love and care in Japan, but it’s with you where their story lives on. And for that to happen, we need to make sure they arrive with you in one piece! We carefully wrap each item in bubble wrap and traditional Japanese newspapers (you’ll often find a Japanese crossword or sudoku to solve!). You’ll also receive a short guide on how to care for and cherish your new tableware. Sustainability is important to us and we’re working hard on ways to keep items safe while being kind to the planet, too.
