Tokyo is steadily changing as we approach 2020. As the city undergoes these revolutionary changes, you can find comfort in knowing that there is still a traditional cultural experience to be had at a ryokan. In order to transmit the wonders of this culture overseas, the Japan Ryokan and Hotel Association Tokyo Branch launched their “Timeless Ryokan Tour” last year.

Their focus this year is on the “experience,” and they have put together special tours that you can enjoy during your ryokan stay.
These tours, planned out with the help of ryokan owners and local experts, allow you to get a taste of Tokyo that true locals cherish.
The cityscape of Tokyo changes daily as the clock ticks down to 2020, which means that telling the rest of the world about our wonderful ancient ryokans is vital for the preservation of our traditional culture.
The city of Tokyo, its people, and its ryokans join together for this project and its goal of transmitting the appeal of ryokans across the globe.
On the “Timeless Ryokan in Tokyo” project website, you can see exactly what Tokyo’s ryokans are like, and what experiences are offered there. There are also ryokan reviews by foreign tourists and information on each ryokan.
Last year, The Japan Ryokan and Hotel Association Tokyo Branch released a video showcasing the lifestyle, beauty, culture, harmony, and refinement of the Japanese people in “Style” format.
