If staying at an old-style Japanese inn, a ryokan, you will normally find that a simple, cotton yukata robe has been placed in your room. This garment started out as a bath robe but it is now usual to change right into one and use it as casual attire. It is offered to help you feel relaxed during your stay. You can wear your yukata not only to the bath but also elsewhere around the ryokan at night and when strolling around the neighborhood. It is typically available in three sizes, S, M and L, and is worn in almost the same manner by men and women with the right side inside. The obi belt goes around the man's waist or just below the woman's bust. The yukata will help you enjoy the full Japanese feel of a ryokan.
