Do you want to dine on “kaiseki” (traditional, multi-course dinner) or standard Japanese cuisine?
Many ryokans include both breakfast and dinner in their per person price. However, some ryokans only offer breakfast and others do not offer any meals at all. The quality of the cuisine varies depending on the ryokan. In general, the more expensive the ryokan the better the quality of food served. Many of the expensive ryokans serve “kaiseki” which is a traditional, multi-course dinner. However, there are so many exceptions and previous guests have often raved about the high quality of the food served at the cheaper ryokans. For a better idea of the quality of food, please read the “Comments” by previous guests at the top and bottom of many of the ryokan pages. If you would like to know more about ryokan cuisine, please see “Meals Served at a Ryokan and Japanese “Kaiseki” (traditional, multi-course dinner).
