Jun 6, 2016 at 1:03 comment added The Wandering Coder As with what @fkraiem said, I think you have some severe misinterpretations of what constitutes a Ryokan. They don't have to serve food and in some cases you even have to share bathing facilities. Further, hostels do actually have single rooms. And why have you decided that a standard hotel is not a go?
