Rooms and Tatami Mats
■ A Japanese-style room is one laid with tatami mats.
One appealing feature is the rooms may be used for many
purposes, such as a living room, bedroom, or guest room. A
single tatami mat is roughly 180 cm x 90 cm, and is counted as
1 ‘jo’ (a specific Japanese counter for tatami mats).
■ Tatami mats provide Japan-style flooring. The face of tatami
mats is woven grass, meaning they are highly absorbent,
warm in winter, and cool in summer. Their fragrance also has arelaxing effect.

A yukata is a traditional type ofJapanese clothing, often wornafter bathing or while sleeping.
Be sure to cover your body firstwith the right-hand side, thenleft-hand side. When staying
at a ryokan, you’re welcome towander around in yukata.
