great traditional ryokan

warm hospitality, exceptional dining experience, atmosphere. Yamanoo is located at the heart of an old fascinating area.

all good

Traditional, tranquil, very warm welcome, nice in-house private dining

Heritage with history. Well maintained interior and refurbished bathroom with wooden bath tub.

We were taken by surprised by the dinner quality here. Maybe we’re foreigners and being served different food? We also have to carry our own luggages with umbrellas, albeit it was a bit of a walk to go down in a rainy morning. It was quite clumsy we have to go back and forth two times. I’m not sure if it’s because we were leaving in early morning so there’s no bellboy or what. All is acceptable, we just didn’t expect this in a supposed to be top notch ryokan.

Amazing food! Beautiful property! People working there were so kind and accommodating! English friendly

Authentic experience, you feel like a special guest receiving personal service. Our hostess was amazing tending to our needs and served our private evening meal. Our meal was 9 courses of awesome Japanese dishes and for one of the courses the owner himself came to our dining room and cooked one of the dishes. In summary if everyone is as fortunate as us with their experience then we can highly recommend Yamanoo.

We did not have any issues or concerns, the experience exceeded our expectations.

location and view of the historic Chaya district was spectacular, attentiveness and politeness of staff was superb making us feel welcome and a special guest, extremely calm and peaceful setting which was a welcome change from the hustle and bustle of Tokyo, meals served in private setting were all part of a wonderful package.

wooden sandals were too small for me (size 10)

Both dinner and breakfast were absolutely amazing. Everyone was super nice. Room was beautiful and the bath in the room was great!
