Ryokan are Japanese style inns. They come in all sizes and are found across Japan. A stay at a ryokan is highly recommended to all foreign visitors of Japan, as it offers the opportunity to experience a traditional Japanese atmosphere.
Guests stay in Japanese style rooms with tatami floor and a low table. Shoes are usually removed at the ryokan's main entrance, where slippers will be kept ready. You are supposed to remove even your slippers before stepping onto tatami mats

Thats actually looks more like a Forgener Hotel than a Traditional Ryokan.

Have you actually been to a foreigner hotel (or as you say "forgener" hotel) and a traditional ryokan? The traditional hotels look nothing like this.
