Ryokans in Shiga Prefecture

"Highly recommended! I feel like I finally found my favourite hotel. It’s close to the station, renovated ( super clean and new), has a public bath and futon tatami ( Japanese bed), provides traditional Japanese breakfast, and has a welcoming tea and cookies. "

"Beautiful property. Rooms a bit dated and small though. 5 private onsens which you dont need to book. Really busy during the day but from midnight could walk into any of them. Public onsen as well. Free ice cream, tea and daily basic ramen between 10:30 - 11:30am. Was a nice break away and near Arashiyama"

"We had a great experience staying at Yumotokan. The dinner was exceptional (very filling!) and the rooms were clean, spacious, and comfortable. The variety of onsen baths was great, each one unique and beautiful. The futon beds were comfortable and the hotel was quiet. Loved our stay and would highly recommend to other travellers hoping for a ryokan experience that isn’t breaking the bank! "

"Overall a very wonderful Ryokan expierence! We paid for both the dinner and breakfast, both of which were very sensible and delicious. I do believe that it is worth the extra added cost, especially the dinner, which is served in our room. The breakfast was served in a dining room on the 2nd floor, which was still nice but definitely a different feeling. We had the choice to choose from three different time slots: I think we ate at 6:30PM (latest available) and 8:00 AM (2nd option). I will say...

"Very good experience. Worth a night there"

"It was a beautiful property and the Onsen was great as well. "

"Hospitality was 10/10, the rooms were lovely and the private onset was everything I hoped for. The public baths offered a hot/cold tub and sauna in addition to the onsets themselves. "

"I would rate the service and staff higher than 5 star if possible. The service was exceptional even by Japanese standards. The Kaiseki and breakfast shouldn’t be missed. Do your self a favor and stay here. "
