My wife and I do the ryokans when we travel to Japan. My wife is Japanese. We absolutely love the experience. The amazing rooms with the tatami floors. The impeccable service. The breakfasts and dinners. The onsens. If it's not on your Bucket List, put it on there. P.s. We stayed in a ryokan like this one on Shikoku. We were in the mountains. To get to the onsen, you had to get into a cable car and go upwards. The onsen was on the top of the mountain.
That is so amazing, we just absolutely loved the entire experience, it was magical and such an insight in to the beautiful Japanese culture. The place you stayed sounds wonderful, what an experience!
I ask myself, how is it that the japanese architecture, Art, gardens, everything they put their Heart into, is so beautiful? Its Art and perfection to the smallest Detail. Tokyo would drive me nuts in Just a few hours, but to experience the traditional Art and way of living? I would Love to.
Miyajima is one of my favourite places to visit, and always have stayed at Iwaso. It’s an amazing experience and the walk from the ryokan through the park and up the mountain is wonderful, and in the evening to see the floating torii at sunset. And then the onsen baths looking out to the surrounding area (wild deer passed by our bath during our stay).
彼女さん、浴衣の重ね方逆です！逆になってしまうと亡くなられた方という意味になってしまいます😥 ↓↓ She's the opposite of how to stack yukata! If it is reversed, it means the person who died.😥(I looked it up and made it in English.I'm sorry if there are any deficiencies.)
Actually..there are many Ryokan of such great standard...this is great, just saying Japan has many high standard Ryokan like this one :) I remember there was one Ryokan in Hakone with an open air hot spring attached to your room overlooking the mountain, just beautiful..
We are sure Japan have some incredible high standards of Ryokan’s all over the country. We would love to experience more 😊 that one in Hakone sounds incredible 😍

Guys, I just found your channel and I am loving each one of the videos, especially the vlogs. We can see the videos are well captured and edited, and I can imagine the effort you guys put into it. Congrats! I’ll be watching from now on :)
I was supposed to go to Iwaso this year until the pandemic ruined my Japan trip. I was going to start my own TH-cam channel with a focus on history and The Ryokan here was very interesting because of all the famous individuals and foreigners who stayed here, including Helen Keller. The room we was supposed to stay in was a Hanare, or detached room, close to the hiking trails along the stream. I booked a whole year in advance! Too bad we never got to go. Wonderful you managed to visit.
Hi Michel, you are welcome, glad we could be of some inspo. Regarding the tatami floor, we asked permission prior and staff said it was okay. But noted for the future 🙏🏼
@@TwosomeTravellers Sorry for that comment. When I travel in a different country, I prepare myself to be a good visitor. I first learn some polite phrases to say. I try to learn the customs so I don't offend anyone and end up in jail or a gutter somewhere. The Japanese have so many customs and are extremely respectful, that after studying for over 2 years not, I still learn something every day. You did a great job because I learned from your video. Happy travels! 👍
would love to experience ryokan!! super traditional, that's what we've seen on Japanese films :) ow Japanese massage!! so relaxing! yeah the massage in Australia is not cheap at all haha
It is an experience we will never forget! Yes! We see them in all the films too :) The massage was extra special! Haha, Australia is super expensive! haha
btw that bath tub is a traditional bath, most all homes with full baths have one that deep. Im 6'2" and love them because i can actually fit in them lol. Also answering phones its moshi mosh.
I love to visit Japan as long the hotel in Japan is not haunted by a ghost arigato. Not to cheap and not to expensive as long as is clean and four stars:))
Alex and James, these videos are really well done and the cinematography needs to be appreciated, so here is a sub. One day I'll be saying I was one of the first couple thousand subs when you get that silver play button. 👍
When wearing yukata, both men and women, Always "front right" = from right First of all, the front right is the same as a general yukata. This is "right first" and the left is in front. The only exception is burial clothing.
I'm cross with you two, as I have watched all of your videos and am now forced to repeat the process... please make more, ASAP! Also, the shooting and editing on all of them are par Excellence, along with your presentation, which causes the afore mentioned problem!
Hey Rolando! Thanks so so much for your kind words! You made us a laugh and smile a lot, we will do our absolute best to meet your demands!! We promise there is a new vlog coming in hot tomorrow, stay tuned!! :)
Hi, Twosometravvelers! I’m planning on taking a trip to Japan soon as well. Seeing the beautiful photos you both took, I’m wondering what camera you two are using. Sorry for the late comment, great video! 😁
I love Japan. Went what feels like a hundred years ago. In my 20's an the sec I put my bags down I walked everywhere. Well for the 1st week the 2nd week my knee was swelling up an was limited ( in Tokyo) but Disney land was a crazy compared to the USA. A fraction of the size. What was also a trip was the largest size cup is a kids small in the USA lol. But shabu shabu is a must.
Hey there, we can see how this looks. The Doctor stated it was only necessary when 'travelling'. e.g. Public transport. But thank you for your concerns 🙏🏼
It’s a tough question because it depends how well you can budget. The Shinkansen saves a lot of time but is expensive. Ryokans are beautiful but not as cheap as pods. You’ll be surprised that 10k would get you quite far! Providing you are sensible with spending 😊
Great video. By the way, ryokan is not pronounced like RYE-OH-CAN. It's more like somewhere between LEO-KHAN and LOW-KHAN (not quite, but definitely not how it was pronounced throughout the video).
for yukata, it's always left over right. (unless you have just died, then they dress you right over left). great video though. One day i'll go to Japan. after the pandemic.....after the Olympics......and after all the locals have stopped hating the huge amount of foreigners coming for the Olympics.
ZikoN22 great observation. My mom was freaking out watching this video. Alex and James we love your videos just can’t watch Japanese or Japan videos around my Mom. She grew up there in the 30’s. Traditions are traditions.
Thank you for introducing me to Japan. But Japan is a country that values etiquette and manners. You can't put your elbows on when you eat. After that, I'm not well-behaved on the tatami mats with setta.
I can't believe you put shoes on the tatami floor. Each mat costs about $150 (USD) each. It is also extremely rude and disrespectful to the establishment and/ or host.
How could you just let the deer eat that color inked map? Many deer in jp was found dead because of the "trash" they couldn't digested, I'm ending up the video just right there, NOPE
We didn’t let the deer do anything. We were minding our own business and it came up and ate our map. We felt ripping it from the deer’s mouth vigorously or prying the deer’s mouth open to get it ourselves wouldn’t have been a wise choice. Being honest it totally caught us by surprise. There’s a difference with what happened to actually feeding the deer paper. Accidents happen 👍🏼

I had to cry watching this. I spent a day in mijayima last year and it was probably one of the best in my life 🥺🥺🥺🥺
Ahh what beautiful memories you must have 🥰
Not many of us Japanese are able to stay at such a luxurious ryokan.
I'm glad you had a good experience.
We feel very privileged and honoured 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
安芸の宮島！！
良い場所を選びましたね。
私も宮島は大好きです。
また、日本にお越し下さい。
動画のアップロード、ありがとうございます😊
I ask myself, how is it that the japanese architecture, Art, gardens, everything they put their Heart into, is so beautiful?
Its Art and perfection to the smallest Detail.
Tokyo would drive me nuts in Just a few hours, but to experience the traditional Art and way of living?
I would Love to.
I can not find the right words to describe how I feel when I watch your videos, you are doing a really great job! thank you for this amazing content😍

Isn’t it just a beautiful place! We would love to visit again one day!
I have been there and it is absolute beauty with true luxury of Japan. Unforgettable
I went to this place a few years ago. It really was amazing! I hope I will have the chance to go there again.
Such a beautiful place right! We hope to visit once again in the future too 😍
We stayed there two years ago too! Excellent hospitality and we loved everything about this hotel! Glad you two enjoyed there as well
彼女さん、浴衣の重ね方逆です！逆になってしまうと亡くなられた方という意味になってしまいます😥

She's the opposite of how to stack yukata!
If it is reversed, it means the person who died.😥(I looked it up and made it in English.I'm sorry if there are any deficiencies.)
welcome to japan（ようこそ日本へ）

We are so sad you never had the chance to visit!! Hopefully 2021 will be the year of opportunity for you! Keeping our fingers crossed for you 🤞🏼
Thank you both. I'm preparing a trip to Japan and you have been inspiring. Just one thing though, you don't walk on a tatami with foot wear. 😊
Hi Michel, you are welcome, glad we could be of some inspo. Regarding the tatami floor, we asked permission prior and staff said it was okay. But noted for the future 🙏🏼

ようこそ、日本へ🤗💕
Alex and James, these videos are really well done and the cinematography needs to be appreciated, so here is a sub. One day I'll be saying I was one of the first couple thousand subs when you get that silver play button. 👍
Fishing with Rod you made our day with this comment!! Thank you so so much! We’ve screenshotted this as a memory of today 🙏🏼😅😍
i had a similar experience in mt fuji, just fronting the lake kawaguchiko.
best part was it was cheap, at least compared to other hotels
Omg! We’d love to go to Mt Fuji! What an experience! And a bonus it was cheap! 😊🙏🏼
日本人にしたら、普通の旅館なのに、こんなに喜んでくれたら嬉しい😆
The right side of the kimono is on the inside, the same for both men and women. If the right side is on top, it is the costume of the deceased person.
Thanks for the feedback! Good to know for future use! 🥰🙏🏼
Argh, moshi moshi! The one and only time you can use such a hilarious way to answer the phone >_
Great video TTs
The Greyish Nomad Thanks Danny! 👍🏼
Fantastic video. Thank you 🙏. We are staying in this same Ryokan next month for two nights.
What month were you there in? Guessing November?
Ahh how wonderful! This was February time for us 😊
When wearing yukata, both men and women, Always "front right" = from right
First of all, the front right is the same as a general yukata. This is "right first" and the left is in front.
The only exception is burial clothing.
Thanks so much for sharing, I don't think we did a very good job and definitely needed some help with how to do this properly!! :)
Please come to Japan again＾＾
No shoes, geta or western, on the tatami 😱 You'll know for next time.
Please come to Japan again !!
very pretty!!
So pretty inside 😍
I'm cross with you two, as I have watched all of your videos and am now forced to repeat the process... please make more, ASAP!

彼女は着物の合わせが逆です‼️
A truely beautiful place any time of the year. It is magnificent during cherry blossom.
We would love to visit during cherry blossom when everything is in bloom! 🌸
awesome！JAPAN‼️❤️
We love Japan so much :)
0:31 adorable lil deer
So cuteeee ☺️
Wow amazing.. someday you can try the sleeping pod in shin imamiya..
We would love to experience that one day! 😊
That is not matcha(maccha). That is just greentea(otcha).
.
Thank you 😊🍵
Don't worry.
Japan has countless "best" Ryokan.
Enjoy!!
今晩は！ 外国人には旅館が似合う！ 俺はAPAホテルだけど！
Hi, Twosometravvelers! I’m planning on taking a trip to Japan soon as well. Seeing the beautiful photos you both took, I’m wondering what camera you two are using. Sorry for the late comment, great video! 😁
how did you find out about the specific ryokan?
It was recommended to us by the Japanese Tourism Board, as we were working with them during our time in Japan :)
I love Japan. Went what feels like a hundred years ago. In my 20's an the sec I put my bags down I walked everywhere. Well for the 1st week the 2nd week my knee was swelling up an was limited ( in Tokyo) but Disney land was a crazy compared to the USA. A fraction of the size. What was also a trip was the largest size cup is a kids small in the USA lol. But shabu shabu is a must.
Oh wow thats so awesome! Do you think you would ever go back? We would love to!
So... we're not gonna talk about Alex not wearing the face mask per the Dr orders.
Hey there, we can see how this looks. The Doctor stated it was only necessary when 'travelling'. e.g. Public transport. But thank you for your concerns 🙏🏼
Twosome Travellers awe now I feel bad. Really like your chan 😅
Xxx
5:22 Name of the track, anyone?
Nice ryokan there on Miyajima. But i think your wife has here yukata on the wrong way. The left side must be on top.
Always learning 😄 hehe
What is the name of this Ryokan? Love it.
Iwaso Ryokan 😊
How much money do you think you would you need to stay in Japan long enough an get around an experience most of it 10k?
It’s a tough question because it depends how well you can budget. The Shinkansen saves a lot of time but is expensive. Ryokans are beautiful but not as cheap as pods. You’ll be surprised that 10k would get you quite far! Providing you are sensible with spending 😊
Great video. By the way, ryokan is not pronounced like RYE-OH-CAN. It's more like somewhere between LEO-KHAN and LOW-KHAN (not quite, but definitely not how it was pronounced throughout the video).

Thanks for the information! Good to know 😄🙏🏼
ZikoN22 great observation. My mom was freaking out watching this video. Alex and James we love your videos just can’t watch Japanese or Japan videos around my Mom. She grew up there in the 30’s. Traditions are traditions.
You have to pay certain amount of money in order to have a good time (end of the lesson)
nice video :)
Thank you :)
Bit of a shock when I saw her wearing it like for a funeral......
US$450 a night is too expensive for asian standard. I think it also include breakfast, lunch, dinner & supper & snacks
And geisha's entertaiment
Best? Maybe your first Ryokan stay?
In ‘our opinion’ 😄 like we say at the very start of the vlog 😉
best hotels are banned to film cause celebrities visit. it's far one of those. but still nice for ordinary people like me.
Luckily we don’t stay in the exclusive hotels that celebrities stay in 😄
How many Ryokans have you been to before you nominated it as the best of the best?
One! It’s all we needed 😉
what is the name of this hotel please
Thank you for introducing me to Japan. But Japan is a country that values etiquette and manners. You can't put your elbows on when you eat. After that, I'm not well-behaved on the tatami mats with setta.
We are always learning new cultures each and every day, sometimes we get it wrong 😊 but thank you
夫婦なのか？いかんのではないのか？そこの男子ー('ω'乂)ｲｶｰﾝ

Whats the name of the hotel please?
Iwaso Ryokan! :)
浴衣が左前ですね、死装束ですよ、中居さん教えてあげれば！
To tell you the truth the way she wore the yukata actually was not correct if she was still in this would.
tadd lots of people have told us this 🙈 we have learnt from our mistakes 😇
How much is a room like this per night?
Podrían reseñar en español?
Tabi socks!
Camel toe? LOL
Haha, thanks for watching till the end!
best hotel according to your little experience. Like a frog under the well.
Andrew Ho 😂
Short & small ,expensive = no good
the tea wasn't matcha
They r hungry. Visitors shd come or can buy food for deer
Giving a deer prints... ignorance is a crime.
If a bird swooped in and stole your snack from your hands, are you giving it your food...?
I can't believe you put shoes on the tatami floor. Each mat costs about $150 (USD) each. It is also extremely rude and disrespectful to the establishment and/ or host.
Thanks for your concern. Regarding the tatami floor, we asked permission prior and staff said it was okay. But noted for the future 🙏🏼
WHY DIDN"T YOU WEAR THE MASK?!
Hi Athena, the doctor said I didn’t need to wear it outside. Only in small enclosed spaces and only if really necessary.
お客さんも、旅館のお客さんとして浴衣という「ユニホーム」を切ると、お金持ちなどとか関係ないのです。全く全員気持ち良いほど等質なサービスを受けます。日本では、大富豪であってもわがままを捨て、一般庶民のちょっとした「贅沢」を楽しみましょう。温泉の「大浴場」に入ってしまうと。人種の違いなんて忘れてしまいますよ。特に、女性では、日本人の方が肌が白く体毛が少ない事が分かる事があります。
浴衣が逆だのネチネチうるさい日本人は無視してください。純粋に楽しんでくれたらそれだけで嬉しいです。
草履を履いて畳の上に上がるのはいただけないですね。もう少し日本の文化を勉強してからおいで下さい。
高そうな旅館

Don't feed the map!
Don't show the map when the deer is by your side.
Many are dead.
C’mon, it’s called an accident... Wasn’t done purposefully, didn’t even know the deer was next to us.
It's not an accident. When you put out a map or paper, first look around.
It was an accident, there were no deer’s around when we pulled the map out.
陶器での乾杯はやめてね。草履を部屋の中で履くな。肘をついての食事も不快そのもの。
