Maybe, it's a "Ryokan" in Japanese. Please see the page below. http://www.ryokan.or.jp/index_en.html They have rooms with "Tatami". Guests sleep on a "Huton". We take an Onsen( hot-spring bath) there. As long as the term "traditional" is used with an intention to discuss the style of Japanese lodging facilities, the most familiar and proper word is "Ryokan". Ryokans often have Japanese style guest rooms furnished with tatami mats, "Shoji" paper panel doors, scroll pictures or calligraphy at an alcove. At the center of the room is a large table on which a tea set is prepared. Through the window guests can have a good view of scenic landscape. When a guest wants to retire to rest, a housekeeping staff put the large table aside and lays out the "futon" in the guest room. Another word for a traditional Japanese inn is "Hatago", which is not anymore in general use to indicate an accommodation. Until the end of Edo period (1603-1868), when Tokugawa shogunate reigned Japan, people sometimes travelled on horses. When they took a rest at a small private inn, they needed to tie their horses to a hitchrack and feed them. Originally and literally, Hatago stood for a large tub to keep the fodder for horses or a bag the travellers had on their back, which turned its meaning to the small inn itself.
