The quiet lakeside area feels removed from city bustle, with a free shuttle from Ogotoonsen Station and on-site parking helping with access. Rooms are generally clean and comfortable, though a few guests noted dated touches or musty smells, and rare issues like weak in-room hot water or Wi-Fi. Some reviews mention confusing internal navigation and occasional concerns about outdoor bath cleanliness or privacy screens. Best for travelers prioritizing relaxation over nearby sightseeing.

グループ旅行で琵琶湖が見られる和室と ヒーリングルーム白楽に泊まりました。 どちらもお部屋は綺麗でしたし お料理もとても美味しかったです。 唯一館内の移動が複雑だったので ご飯と温泉にはエレベーター乗り換えて いくのがちょっと不便だなと感じました。 温泉場所も複数あり色々楽しめて良かったです。 一緒に行ったメンバーもとても満足していました。

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.

Wonderful property and staff. Dinner was excellent. They offer a shuttle service to and from Ogotoonsen station - there’s a cell phone at the station to call various ryokans in the area for pickup.

3인 가족의 첫 료칸 체험이였는데 너무 좋았습니다. 호텔앞에 큰 주차장이 있어서 이용하기 편리했고, 호텔도착하니 마중나오셔서 짐 들어주셨어요. 방컨디션은 신식은 아니지만, 일본 전통 분위기여서 좋았습니다. 따뜻한 온수 전기 포트가 있어서 방안에서 커피와 녹차 여러가지를 먹을 수 있었고, 간식도 파운드 케익과 센베 준비해 주셨어요. 프라이빗 료칸과 디너 코스 예약했는데 가족 모두 만족했습니다. 마사지도 받을 수 있었지만 예약이 꽉 차서 못했어요. 숙소 이메일로 마사지도 미리 예약하시면 좋을 것 같습니다. 그리고 뷔페로 준비된 아침식사도 너무 훌륭했습니다. 나중에 부모님 모시고 다시 꼭 방문하고 싶은 곳입니다^^

Room is in the morden style but is large enough to put 2 luggages. Have hot water available in the room which you dont need to boil water for hot tea. There are a few hot spring available and all of them are quite spacious and with view. You can enjoy the subrise or sunset if you have hotspring on the top floor. There is shuttle bus pick up from JR to the hotel.

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!

Lovely relaxing stay. We booked the Hanare Karoi luxury twin with its own private open air onsen. It was much needed after all the walking so far this trip, we didn't need to go to the larger public baths on the other levels. They provided a shuttle bus from Ogoto Onsen station. The service was great from check in, to the staff at the restaurant for dinner and breakfast. The private lounge and unlimited Haagen Dazs icecream, drinks and juices was a really nice touch. We really enjoyed the dinner and breakfast in our own private dining area, with each dish intricately prepared and presented beautifully, the service was very attentive.

Awesome Onsen. Quick check in. The two open air mineral baths were clean, comfortable and relaxing. The one with the huge lava rocks, natural greenery and small waterfall on the 5th floor was my favorite. On the 11th floor the afternoon and evening it was gently raining and sitting in the Onsen with rain coming down made me feel one with the rain and hot water. The food was awesome, a huge variety and more than I could eat. The room was traditional Japanese and comfortable. My husband and I enjoyed our 10th wedding anniversary at Yumotokan.

My experience in this hotel is terrible, once I stopped my car and front office staff came to help picking my luggage, but he fell my luggage bag from staircase that made a scratch mark. It is completely unacceptable to made such mistake. I found my room had no internet access despite connected to the in house WiFi, no any access through any area in room and even public corridor. Cleanness and tidiness in public bath is a completely terrible no matter which floors. No any staff assisted to do cleaning and it was full of dirty and used towel anywhere. It was really unexpected experience in Japan like this hotel.

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.

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!

家族のお祝いで茜の間の特別室を利用しました。部屋もすごく広く綺麗で、ウェルカムフルーツも豪華、部屋の露天風呂も最高でした。お料理も個室処でゆっくり食べれましたし、朝も夜もとても美味しかったです。 ただ、サービス面が従業員さんによって差がかなりあります。サプライズ要望を事前に伝えていましたが、伝達されておらず、フロントの方に再度お伝えしている際も対応がかなり悪かったです。実際お伝えしたたような感じにはならなかったので、サプライズを考える際には注意したほうがいいかもしれません… また、食事のドリンクも注文と違う銘柄が出てきました。

Location
Quiet setting near Ogotoonsen Station with easy access to Kyoto via train and the free shuttle. The area is calm with limited nearby attractions, better suited to unwinding than sightseeing.

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.

Incredible stay! The ryokan experience was unforgettable – a memory for life. The staff was knowledgeable and respectful. The public onsen views were stunning, plus there’s a private onsen option for a fee. The free shuttle to and from the train station was super convenient. Highly recommend!

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.

Wonderful property and staff. Dinner was excellent. They offer a shuttle service to and from Ogotoonsen station - there’s a cell phone at the station to call various ryokans in the area for pickup.

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!

It’s so nice here the staff are extremely attentive and it really feels like being a feudal aristocrat for a day, with dinner and breakfast as multi course meals in private rooms and staff coming to set up futons for sleeping while the guests are at dinner. Cannot recommend it enough! the surrounding area is charming in a small-town kinda way, but there’s not much to do outside the ryokan. I don’t recommend staying more than one or two nights unless you have a car to take you out to things to do in the area

Loved our stay! We had the private onsen which was amazing but the public ones are great too! Our dinner was a lovely event and the beers and ice cream was a great touch. Staff were very welcoming and friendly. Would definitely recommend! It’s not far away from Kyoto, about 20min or so on the train.

Dining
Dining is a standout: multi-course kaiseki dinners (often with local beef) and generous breakfast buffets earn consistent praise for quality and variety. A few guests found the Japanese-style breakfast or fish-forward menus less to their taste, and drink options felt limited to some.

夕食は個室での和食懐石コース、朝食はバイキング形式で、味付けも良く種類も豊富でとても美味しかったです。また部屋内にも露天風呂があるプランでしたが、とても気持ちの良いお風呂で、ホテル内の温泉も含めて、色々なお風呂を楽しめました。お盆期間でしたが、予算内で済ますことが出来て、満足しました。

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.

Amazing experience. So fun to take pic’s of the family in traditional dress. I personally loved each of the Onsens. Unfortunately the dinner included a lot of fish - we are not big fish eaters.

We stayed in a Kotone room with private bath. Spacious and comfortable with separate seating area. The hotel is very beautiful and exceptionally clean. Staff were very attentive and helpful despite our language differences. Breakfast buffet is extensive and of high quality. Keiseke dinner was a 9 course adventure- excellent service and delicious food. Some culinary culture differences but a true Japanese experience. Yumotokan will always be a highlight memory of our time in Japan.
