The whole stay was amazing from the hotel to the food & the service was top tier! I definitely want to come back!

Si vive l’ambiente pienamente tipico di Kinosaki Onsen , bellissima l’Onsen nell’albergo e gli yukata che hanno dato a disposizione

We liked everything about this place. The staff, our actual room, the location, and the hotel’s own onsen. We booked the Japanese style room which has a toilet but no bath/shower. The room also has a decent sized covered balcony with side window/panels that can be opened if you want an open air feel.

Woah this place was cool. We had never stayed at a Ryokan before and wanted to do that as part of our first trip to Japan. Yamamotoya did not disappoint. We splurged and had both breakfast and dinner included for three nights. The food was amazing - basically a super fun and delicious tour of local and traditional Japanese cuisine. The staff was lovely (thank you Rio-san!) and the little onsen they have on site is really peaceful and well appointed. It was very fun to stay in a traditional room with the tatami mats and very comfortable futons. The location is also great, easy walking to all of Kinosaki-Onsen baths, shopping and food. Overall I could not recommend this experience more! Thank you for an excellent and memorable stay.
