[:it]Trovare l’albergo ideale non è per nulla difficile in Giappone, specialmente se volete alloggiare in un Ryokan! La modernità vi regalerà sempre esperienze indimenticabili, ma è possibile anche immergersi nella pace della campagna.
Tokyo è una città strepitosa, sempre in movimento e ricca di meraviglia da esplorare. Tuttavia, se avete voglia di rigenerare la vostra anima per qualche giorno nei dintorni della grande metropoli, allora i ryokan sono ciò che fa al caso vostro!

Quando il tempo si ferma

Il ryokan (旅館) non è altro che un albergo con pochissime stanze il cui stile è rimasto immutato fin dall’epoca Edo. Dall’estetica curatissima, in questi alberghi tradizionali c’è sempre un giardino visibile da qualunque punto della washitsu (和室). In questa tipica stanza giapponese essenziale troviamo il tokonoma (床の間). Si tratta di una piccola finestrella chiusa e rialzata in cui troviamo delle pergamene giapponesi, dette emakimono, ikebana e bonsai. Qui, il pavimento è rigorosamente composto da tatami (畳), sopra il quale giace il futon (布団, letteralmente “materasso arrotolato”). Le sole tracce di modernità sono date dalla presenza dell’aria condizionata, la televisione e il telefono.
Gli ospiti dei ryokans sono affidati alle cure di un’anziana cameriera. Quest’ultima accoglie i visitatori servendo loro il tè di benvenuto, raccoglie le ordinazione e li accompagna all’Osen (il bagno termale) o all’Ofuro (il bagno nelle vasche di legno hinoki).

I Ryokans sono sparsi un po’ per tutto il Giappone, soprattutto nelle zone dell’entroterra. Tuttavia, oggi ci limiteremo a quelli raggiungibili più facilmente, situati tra Tokyo, Kyoto e Osaka!

Ryokan della regione di Hakone

La regione di Hakone si trova lungo Tokaido, le strade storiche del periodo Edo ed è perfetta se volete spostarvi comodamente tra Tokyo, Kyoto e Osaka. Inoltre, se come me siete follemente innamorati del Monte Fuji, i ryokans che vi sto per presentare ne offrono una vista mozzafiato!

Il Ryokan della penisola di Izu

La penisola di Izu si trova a sud della regione di Hakone e del Monte Fuji. Essendo meno conosciuta della regione di Hakone, è una meta leggermente meno turistica, ma che non vi deluderà assolutamente!

Ryokan tra il Mar del Giappone e le Alpi

Nella regione di Chubu, tra il Mar del Giappone e le Alpi giapponesi sorgono due zone di straordinaria bellezza. Stiamo parlando di Hokuriku e Hida, distanti da Tokyo circa 3/4 ore con lo Shinkansen. Siete pronti ad immergervi nella generosità della natura?

When time stops

The ryokan (旅館) is nothing more than a hotel with very few rooms whose style has remained unchanged since the Edo era. From the well-kept aesthetics, in these traditional hotels there is always a garden visible from any point of the washitsu (和室). In this typical essential Japanese room we find the tokonoma (床の間). It’s a small closed and raised window in which we find Japanese parchments, called emakimono, ikebana and bonsai. Here, the floor is strictly composed of tatami (畳), above which lies the futon (布団, literally “rolled mattress”). The only traces of modernity are given by the presence of air conditioning, television and telephone.
Guests of the ryokans are entrusted to the care of an old maid. The latter welcomes visitors by serving them welcome tea, collects orders and accompanies them to the Osen (thermal bath) or Ofuro (bathing in hinoki wooden tubs).
