This was the most beautiful and hospitable stay that I experienced in Japan. Lovely staff, gorgeous rooms, incredible private onsen. There’s yakiniku across the street if you miss dinner. I love that they offer a shuttle from the train station as well— there’s a free phone there you can use to call them. I’ll definitely be coming back and staying longer next time.

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.

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.

Do this was our first experience at a full service Ryokan and Onsen. The size of our room was huge and we loved the bathroom as it felt like being in a spa. We really enjoyed the traditional Japanese dinner and breakfast. There were so many foods that were new to us. We got the Omni beef dinner which was extra and the meat was fabulous! Definitely worth trying. So the only stress was arrival at the train station. There’s a public phone that you can use to call for pick for foreigners but it’s so tiny and difficult to find. It’s literally tied to a string 5 meters from the exit of the tolling station as you arrive.

The staff were wonderful during our 2 night stay at this ryokan. They made us feel so welcome even with a language barrier and just provided us whatever we needed. The food was amazing and the onsen facilities were top notch, definitely the highlight of our Japan trip. They also provide a free shuttle service to pick you up from the nearest train station. There’s even a convenient hotel phone at the station to use.

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

I loved the various onsen you could try out (especially the outdoor ones)! I also opted to have my own wooden tub that dispensed hot spring water—that was really nice too. The staff was warm and welcoming, and the kaiseki dinner was great to try. I highly recommend this place if you want to have an onsen day!

Excellent guest services, all the hotel staff try their best to make guests felt welcome. Food is really good, both in quality and presentation. Onsen are pretty good, with couple of different indoor and outdoor variety. A minor downside is the limited public space within the hotel compound to walk around (after all the sumptuous meals !)

The staff were great in their service, from checking in to checking out. We initially booked a room with an outdoor onsen bath tub but didn’t realized that the shower facilities were also outdoor. Due to winter, our young toddler was unable to shower outdoor and it was inconvenient for us to bring him to the public bath. We expressed our concern and the staff was very helpful and immediately helped us to find an alternative room with an indoor bath tub and shower. We were moved to a higher floor room which was great as it offered a 180 degree view of the lake during the day. Very appreciative of the kind gesture of their staff. Food were great too. We enjoyed the kaiseki dinner, the beef was excellent. Would strongly recommend this hotel to anyone who is coming to Otsu.

An excellent Japanese ryokan which provided variety of open air hot spring. Dinner is extremely delicious and value for money. Don’t miss out the A5 beef dinner which is fantastic. The staff of the restaurant where we had dinner in the ryokan treated us like guest. My 2 boys especially enjoyed the time there when the waitress Yuika served us. She is wonderful! A memorable stay and we look forward to staying in this ryokan again.

Stayed only one night but wished for more!! The onsens at Yumotokan are beautiful and the staff is extremely attentive and nice. Shout out to Nuri, who took care of us for dinner and breakfast. She was very sweet and made us feel super welcome. The food was very tasty and everything is locally sourced. Cant wait to go back!

I stayed at Karoi room. The dinner was awesome.. I’ve stayed at many half board onsen ryokans with kaiseki dinner. This one is absolutely the best!
