14. Backyard of our Ryocan in Nara
Ryocan's are traditional hotels in Japan. Some offer meals but, they are definitely not bed and breakfasts. You sleep in a futon on a tatami mat. Sometimes comfortable but often it takes getting used to. Nara was the first capital of Japan in 710 and contains much of Japan's early culture.
