  • I couldn’t understand the translation of this sentence as following:

    もう、リッチなリゾートに負けていませんよ!

    (The rich resorts have nothing on ryokans!)

    美先生, would you mind explaining a little bit more?

    Thank you~

    • Sorry! I used a kind of slangy English. It means ryokans are just as good as “rich resorts”. They don’t lose (負けていません) out to them. Does that make sense?
