We loved the room we got with the private onsen on the balcony, well worth it. The dinner that we had in the private dining room was amazing, so much variety and they were smaller portions which was nice so we could try everything without being too full. The breakfast wasn’t for us, it was Japanese style and while there was a lot of variety, it included a lot of things that were picked and had vinegar on them which wasn’t for us that early in the morning. The other Onsen they have on the property are also very nice. We really enjoyed the outdoor one in the garden area, and watching the sunrise on the rooftop one was breathtaking. They do alternate the days on which men and women can use these onsen so you may want to double check what is available before you leave stay so you’re not disappointed, or just ensure your room has the onsen with it. The room did feel a bit dated, and when the heat was on this awful musty smell blew out of it. The area around the fridge also smelt musty. Other than that the bathroom had great amenities, and you are provided with your own onsen towel as well.

Lovely stay at ryokan. Probably the biggest building around the area, not much going on outside and hard to navigate unless you are a local or speak japanese. Some staff speak english but google translate will be your best friend. Definitly book the rooms with private onsen, magical experience.

A classic onsen hotel near Ogotoonsen Station on the Kosei Line, about 20 minutes from Kyoto. The property has that old-fashioned Japanese charm — a bit dated in places, but warm and inviting. My room was traditional with futon bedding, which may not suit everyone, but I really enjoyed the authentic experience. The private onsen bath was wonderfully relaxing, and the rooftop open-air bath overlooking the lake was a highlight, especially in the cool evening air. Dinner was a full multi-course kaiseki with excellent Omi beef, and the breakfast buffet the next morning was just as impressive. A peaceful and memorable stay overall.

They offered free shuttle service to the nearest JR stations. Nice quiet area for a hot spring vacation. Breakfast and dinner were included in our package, and the food was fabulous and very authentic. It was my second time returning Yumotokan, and everything had been maintained up to standard or even better. Highly recommended!

We are so happy to have stayed here during our trip to Japan. Our room had traditional Japanese style qualities and the private onsen was amazing. We had a beautiful view of the lake, everything was clean, wonderful service, and delicious fresh food all included in our stay. It was a truly relaxing and luxurious experience. We hope to stay here again!
