The staff/owner were amazing! The accommodations were great and we felt so taken care of. The bathroom amenities are also top notch — basically private onsen for guests staying here. Highly recommend! Thank you to the owner for his hospitality and kindness.

Lovely staff but this ryokan needs some attention

Yamamoto Ryokan appears to be a little worn (physically) compared to every other hotel/ryokan that we visited in Japan. The staff were however lovely and accommodating. We were greeted upon our arrival with tea, and our traditional breakfast in a private room was wonderful.

For me, it was homely and relaxed. The only problem was that the room started out pretty cold; after a day, it was fine.

A cozy ryokan for the night

Very beautiful classic ryokan style. Service was exceptional. They carried it our bags. Food was amazing and gorgeous. Rooms were prepared for snacks and bed when we were out. It was my first time with a public bath, but I felt comfortable. The bath was the perfect temperature. The only issue was we (us) waited too long to figure out the light switches. I did not know how to turn off the light near the window, so that was left on all night. I should have looked before and asked when everyone was awake.

古くからの良さとおもてなしの心

京都では初めての旅館への滞在。場所は京阪電鉄の清水五条が最寄り。観光スポットとしては、祇園、清水寺、建仁寺、六波羅蜜寺などが徒歩圏内。 歩くのが大好きな私は、京セラ美術館までも私は徒歩で往復した。その途中で高島屋に寄ったりもして、お土産も手に入れやすいエリア。 宇治に行く方には、京阪のワンデイ切符をネットで前日までに獲得しておくと、より便利かもしれない。 旅館に帰ってきて扉を開けるたび、また朝から外出するときも必ずお宿の方が、玄関口までお出迎え、お送りしてくださって一言かけてくださることを徹底されている丁寧なサービス。 浴室があるのもありがたくて、選んだお宿。 お手洗いなどが部屋にはないが、どなたともすれ違うことなく2日間滞在。 昔ながらの和を感じたい方には良い選択かと思う。
