Super unique experience off the beaten path to stay in a beautiful Ryokan. Would be great for a value with larger families, but be prepared to understand the busses or get a taxi, not a ton to do in the immediate area. On the other hand, staff was nice, limited but plenty of English with my terrible Japanese. Food was excellent and beautifully plated. Rooms were truly amazing, one of my favorite things on my travels.

The place is not a nice Ryokan, food is mediocre, service non existent, far from any restaurants or amenities, ok transportation, and good for early start by can to the Bamboo Forest but really not ideal for any other places or activities. In need of work, 0 amenities in terms if toiletries etc. could not match any of the other places we stayed. Disappointing

I usually don't review stays, but i had to for this Ryokan Yamazaki! The property is clean, quiet, beautiful and peaceful. Above all, the service we received was outstanding. The staff are very kind and patient. They were very understanding with foreigners as well, and explained everything we needed. I was very sick to my stomach when i arrived, due to motion sickness. My husband went to ask for directions to a pharmacy, and the staff drove him there personally and helped him pick out medicine! He didn't ask, and they insisted. Akagi was so wonderful and sweet. I firmly believe the rest, peace and kindness here turned around my health and helped me enjoy the rest of my trip. i can't wait to come back. Arigato gozaimasu!! 🙇‍♀️

I believe that their rates are too overpriced for what they offer. We stayed in a room with our own amenities which I understand is priced more than the shared baths rooms. However, I was expecting the food to be more indulgent as I’m personally okay with a more traditional and less than perfectly manicured space. But the dinner and breakfast was honestly the most disappointing thing. I’ve had many kaiseki style meals before in varying level of quality and I was expecting more for the price we paid. The lighting in the restaurant is also awful so even though the closed off garden is beautiful, the overpriced not-so great food and the poor ambience just made the overall experience not that great. I was okay to trek over to the countryside as that was what we were looking for as I see that’s most of the people’s issue with the place. Honesty location was fine for us because we wanted to be farther away. We did have to take a bus and a taxi so it was a mission but it was part of the experience. The room we were in was good for us as we had our own bath rooms. Unfortunately the disappointing meals overshadows the rest of our experience. If they were priced cheaper then that makes more sense.

It was an amazing opportunity to stay in a proper ryokan during my trip. The hotel itself is lovely, the facilities are excellent, the staff are brilliant too. For the two nights I stayed there I had my evening meal in the restuarant downstairs, the meals being excellent value for money. My only issue was really the transport links. I ended up having to walk (up hill) from the tram station for about half an hour to get to the hotel. I tried to call the hotel beforehand to let them know I was going to be late checking in and could they help at all with my journey to actually get to the them, however the phone number didn't work which at the time was a bit of an issue. The hotel is in a beautiful area, it's quite residential but the nearest combini is about 10-15mins uphill. The walk is kind of interesting though so y'know pros and cons. The room I stayed in was beautiful. It was a large traditional tatami room and they provide yukata to wear which was very nice. Great bathroom facilities too.

We booked the premier garden suite and LOVED it. My partner is Japanese and said it reminded him of his grandmothers house growing up. The room is just a simple/beautiful traditional Japanese style room. Although the garden area could use some sprucing up, it was very nice/relaxing. We had a car and I do not not that I would have stayed here otherwise, the location is off the beaten path. That being said, the location was one of the main reasons we choose this place. We felt like locals in a sense, so we loved the location. If your an early riser like me, there are no coffee shops such within walking distance. If you want a “traditional Japanese” style room, definitely consider premier suite. No onsen but the bathroom was SO nice, it was like having our own private sentó.

Beautiful ryokan recently remodeled. Wonderful staff. Delicious food. A bit off the beaten path but being out of the main city offers a very relaxing environment. If you have the Go app and don’t mind paying for taxis, then the location is not an issue. Very pleasant experience overall.

We LOVED this place! We got the room with a private bathroom and garden. The garden was beautiful and our room was very large and spacious. The food they served in the restaurant was delicious and very well priced. Very nice staff. The place is located a bit away from the city, which is just what we wanted. It is located a very short 3 min walk from the bus stop. Very easily accessible. They will ship your luggage for you through a company if you ask (I recommend cuz it’s not fun taking luggage in a bus). Overall loved this place and would come back again.

The Ryokan is good. Our room was smaller than expected. I guess that is the case with most places to stay in Japan. There was certainly some smoke smell near our rooms on the days we stayed here. I wonder if the people next door were smoking or maybe the ones before that. It was like the smell was infused in the walls and when we opened our room door, the smell was stronger.
