"More etiquette advice-e.g., never step on a tatami mat while wearing shoes or slippers-is found in Japanese Inns and Hot Springs by Rob Goss, with photos by Akihiko Seki, which highlights 40 traditional ryokan (inns) and onsen (hot springs). Goss, a British travel writer and longtime Tokyo resident, says his goal is to guide English speakers to a traditional Japanese experience. This can be hard to come by, he says, in a country where the hospitality industry can be "polite to a fault," trying so hard to make foreigners feel comfortable that the majority of hotels are indistinguishable from those back home."
