Hello,
Ifm traveling Japan for two weeks as a solo female traveler at the age of 19. I really wanted to spurge on night and stay at a nice ryokan. I have already booked a room at Takaragawa Onsen Osenkaku. I have just realized that my age could be a challenge. I know in the United States, where I am from, they wouldnft allow someone so young to stay. Is it the same in Japan? I can still cancel it. Also can someone tell me the policy about checking in early? I would really like to enjoy the onsen all day.

20 is legal adulthood in Japan. I would suggest contacting the onsen directly about your queries (both age and early-check-in).
You may also want to look into Immigration procedures and see if you need to bring a letter from your parents allowing you to travel independently - I am not sure about the requirements for Japanese Immigration, or if it matters where you are from (to avoid looking like a runaway child, basically!).
