はい、館内でしたらどこでも大丈夫ですよ。お食事処や大浴場もご利用いただけます。
はい、かんないでしたらどこでもだいじょうぶですよ。おしょくじどころやだいよくじょうもごりよういただけます。
Yes, it's fine anywhere within the inn. You can use it in the dining area and the large public bath too.
Gesture & etiquette
Point to the yukata you are holding or wearing.
Do not wear yukata provided by the ryokan outside the premises (e.g., walking around town) unless explicitly permitted or if it's a specific 'onsen town' where it's customary. Always wear appropriate underwear underneath.
