We stayed for 3 nights in this traditional Japanese ryokan. Staff is very friendly, the room is kept clean, and food was amazing. The only minus was the shared showers.

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.

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。

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.

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

방/가구&침구 청결 : ★★★★★ (옛날 일본 정취 느낄 수 있음) 화장실 청결 : ★★★★★ (오래됐지만 매우 깨끗) 욕실 청결 : ★★★★★ (매우 깨끗) 음식 : ★★★★ (숙소 음식도 정성스럽고 맛있음. 가이세키의 고기도 맛있었음. 음식 먹고 나면 속이 편함. 일본 음식 답게 한국인들한테는 조금 싱거움. 이건 어쩔 수가 없음. 하지만 평양 냉면처럼 계속 생각남...!😂 자극적인 음식을 원한다면, 일본에 맛있는 음식이 많으니까 외부 음식 먹는 걸 추천) 조용함 : ★★★★☆ (직원 분들이 이동하면서 삐걱거리는 나무 소리가 나는데, 그 소리 또한 일본스럽고 매력적이다...!) 친절 : ★★★★★(친절x100) 편의성(Wi-Fi, 냉방&난방, 전기, 욕실&화장실 위치) : ★★★☆ (개인적으로는 만족스러웠지만, 만약 호텔처럼 욕실과 화장실이 무조건 객실 안에 있기를 희망한다면 약간 불편할 수도) 관광 : ★★★★★ (니넨자카-신넨자카-청수사는 걸어서도 갈 수 있을 정도로 가까이 있음. 숙소 주변에 도자기 가게들도 있어서 산책하기도 재밌음. 교토역은 걸어서 20분 거리에 있는데, 나는 보부상스타일이라 교토역 걸어가면서 일본 거리 구경하는 것도 좋았음.) TOTAL : ★ 4.62 / ★ 5.0 가족끼리 욕심 없이 옛날 일본 가정집 체험해보기에는 너무 좋은 곳!

Although a little run down this is certainly made up for in the service received. Would stay here again for the convenience.

Love the authentic feel of the ryokan and really enjoyed having an onsen on site.

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.

客室は全体的に清潔でした。が、冷蔵庫の状態が劣悪でした。あの状態なら置かない方がよろしいかと思います。蛍光灯の上だけが、長年掃除をされていないようでした。部屋は広かったです。トイレの芳香剤が多すぎて、匂いがきつかったです。
