The Japan Ryokan Association (Kokkanren) was inaugurated in 1948, and was officially approved as an incorporated association in 1953. In the post-war years, an increasingly large number of foreign tourists started to visit Japan, and so the Association was established with the objective of providing safe and reliable accommodation facilities to overseas guests, whereupon some 1,500 major, well-reputed ryokans and hotels in agreement with our objective joined the Association. These ryokans and hotels, with facilities, environment and services of the highest quality, have since strived to ensure that guests enjoy a pleasant stay. One of the leading nationwide associations among the numerous ryokan-related associations, we undertake a wide range of activities as an institution, including providing instructions, conducting surveys, and acting as a liaison between our member ryokans and hotels.
RYOKAN PYRAMID
There are some 55,000 ryokan in Japan, of which 1,400 are quality establishments belonging to the Japan Ryokan Association (JRA).
