it was the best ryokan experience I ever had, albeit even more "japanese" than I expected. For example, every room has a personal staff, that does everything for you. I had dinner in my room, which he brought to me, and while eating he was just sitting there, making sure I got everything I needed. It felt a bit awkward, but it's their idea of service. And I guess if you don't stay there just by yourself, it's easier to ignore them. And the food was among the best I ever tasted.

I know it's the Japanese way but i just prefer to be friendly with the staff. That's part of the reason i want to go to Japan such a large cultural disconnect; wonder how i would react to situation like this.
