Yumotokan

A hot tub with a view of a cityscape and water at dusk.

Location: Noka
Review: This was a beautiful ryokan to stay. The staff are very helpful to english speaking visitors and can accommodate very well. This ryokan offers you to dine in an intimate setting so you're in a separate room with your guests/partner. Other ryokans have you sit in a restaurant style setting so you're in a large room with open tables. Our waitress and maid was super helpful and very caring for us while we stayed. The ryokan has several onsen locations in the building, they rotate one days the men..., by Anonymous traveler, November 23, 2016, rated 10/10 Excellent

Location: Sakyo Ward
Review: I've stayed at dozens of hotels across Japan and this is one of if not the best hotel I've stayed at. Highly recommend the traditional tatami style room for a fun/cool experience. Everything was spotlessly clean, obvious attention to detail, the staff was incredibly friendly, the amenities are thought out and intentional, the location is great, tucked away near several temples and shrines but still just a short walk to a main street and public transportation. Easily a 10/10 experience and will..., by Michael, November 11, 2026, rated 10/10 Excellent

Review: This is a very local non touristy village. We enjoyed the hospitality (even if we couldn’t communicate) The owner helped accomadate my sea food allergy. We really liked the hot bath available in the beautiful water.
