Question:
i have no idea where this belongs, but in alot of mangas, you know how there are hot springs? well, if there are hot springs and a place to stay, like a hotel, is it called a hotel in japan? o
Answer:
umm hmm. some hotels have hot springs, but u can also just visit a place dedicated to hot springs. hotels that have their own hot springs are called hotels. i think, the one i stayed at had a hot spring, but was still called a hotel. i love the hot springs, burns at first, but once u get used to the heat its so nice, especially when u walk out to the really cold weather.
Answer:
um ... an onsen? that's a hot spring hotel ...
Answer:
I know ryokan specifically means Japanese Hotel.
Answer:
sHiNHaWk: so if someone were to own a hotel that has hot springs, would that be called a ryokan ?
Answer:
ryokans are a special type of japanese hotels, just because it has or doesn't have an onsen does not determine whether it is considered to be a ryokan or not

yes ryokans are a traditional Japanese inn, with tatami mats, sometimes wooden floors, and ladies in kimonos running around. They're different from hotels, which are a western invention, ryokans are Japanese style traditional hotels. Just use ryokan
Answer:
it is called onsen... ^^;;
onsen means hot springs.
if u wanna name a place with onsens...
just say (place of town) + onsen.
such as senami onsen.
an onsen already implies that there is a place to rest and eat.
it wouldnt just be a hotspring in the middle of a field right?
