In fiscal year 2018, the average number of overnights guests staying in ryokans amounted to around 40 thousand per business, boosted significantly by the growing popularity of large-scale businesses in recent years. Ryokans are Japanese style inns furnished in a traditional manner, with rooms covered with tatami mats and sliding doors, standing in contrast to western-style hotels.
