Mikaya's lobby has a frugal look to it, as all ryokans do, but with a kind of luxury tang to it. When entering this place, you will be greeted by a host bowing deeply for you. You are then brought to a place to sit down, process your checkin, and get an explanation of how everything works. After that and a tour of the ryokan, you'll be guided to your room. If you so wish, the host will even teach you how to properly wear the yukata.
