Onsen Ryokan
An onsen ryokan is a traditional Japanese inn built around the restorative experience of natural hot springs. Premium properties may offer guest rooms with private baths and peaceful views of a garden or the surrounding landscape.
A stay at an onsen ryokan follows a wonderfully simple rhythm: soak, rest, dine, and soak again. Spending a night in a beautiful ryokan is a quiet luxury—a chance to recover from the journey and feel refreshed for the destination ahead.
Traditional Machiya Townhouses
Machiya are traditional wooden townhouses most closely associated with Kyoto. They are typically built on long, narrow plots, with a former shopfront facing the street, living quarters farther inside, and a quiet courtyard between them.
Historically, machiya served as both homes and workplaces for merchants and craftspeople. Today, many house intimate restaurants, shops, and izakaya. Japan has an extraordinary selection of hotels, but for travelers seeking a more traditional and private stay, a carefully restored machiya can be an unforgettable choice.

Hachi Restaurant Reservations
Japanese Cuisine
Food is one of the great pleasures of traveling in Japan. The variety is extraordinary, ranging from a simple bowl of soba noodles to an elaborate multi-course kaiseki dinner. Michelin-starred restaurants, family-run establishments, neighborhood izakaya, and affordable street food all form part of Japan’s remarkable culinary landscape.
Once you arrive, you will quickly discover that Japanese cuisine extends far beyond sushi, tempura, and sukiyaki. In cities such as Tokyo and Kyoto, you could enjoy a different regional or traditional specialty every evening. No matter how often you visit Japan, its food always offers something new to remember.
Restaurant Reservations
Many of Japan’s most popular restaurants require or strongly recommend advance reservations. Some release their tables months ahead, while others accept only a limited number of guests each day. Planning in advance gives you a much better chance of enjoying the restaurants and dishes you have been looking forward to.
Reservations often need to be made by telephone in Japanese, with the date, time, number of guests, and booking name confirmed in advance. Hachi can contact the restaurant and make the reservation on your behalf where the restaurant’s booking conditions allow.
