A lovely traditional Japanese Ryoken. Staff were lovely and always did their best to help.
You are required to remove your shoes on entry and store them in the cabinet and unfortunately this is where the problems began. I did as instructed, but my shoes had vanished in the morning as some imbecile had decided to take them. I know this as they re-appeared the next morning absolutely stinking and in a disgusting and awful state. Who in their right mind would think this is acceptable? Who would even want to take somebody else's worn shoes to use for themselves? The Japanese culture is respectful and kind. Unfortunately, some western tourists trample roughshod over this and have no respect for others, their customs or their belongings. Shame on you.
