Ryokan One Select · Since 2002
Inns that innkeepers recommend to their own guests
31 small ryokan across Japan, each owned and run on its own. Because the hosts trust one another, they can send their regular guests to any inn in the club with confidence.
About the club
A club of hosts, not a hotel chain
Ichinoyado Club was founded in April 2002 by innkeepers who shared one aim: to create the most moving inns in Japan. None of the members belongs to a group company – every inn is independently owned and managed.
The hosts meet regularly to share what they have learned, run staff training together and even exchange staff between inns. That is why each of them can recommend the others to their own regular guests.
“Travelling the club is like a lucky draw with no blanks.”
The baths, the food and the hosts are different at every inn. Visit them one by one, at your own pace, and let each stay surprise you.
