Yumoto Ueyama Ryokan features a hot tub and free private parking, and is within 15 km of Himeji Castle and 43 km of Ankokuji Temple. The property features mountain and lake views, and is 43 km from Omiya Hachiman Shrine. The accommodation provides a hot spring bath, free WiFi throughout the property and family rooms.

The room was spacious but still felt cozy and comfortable. The view from the large window was simply spectacular, there was a light rain storm the night we came and honestly it added to the experience, so relaxing….the staff was so friendly, some spoke very clear English but for the ones that didn’t had a little translation devise. I’m also a Celiac and can’t eat wheat, I gave the staff a head up and they accommodated my meals beautifully! I was able to enjoy the dinner and breakfast with my family without feeling like I was missing something.

At the ryokan, all units include a tatami, a flat-screen TV, a shared bathroom, bed linen and towels.

There is a coffee shop on-site. The ryokan is located in a geothermal area, with a number of hot springs nearby for guests to relax in.

The onsen was really nice and big, especially the outdoor bath with all the bamboo trees surrounding it. There weren’t many guests at the ryokan so I was able to enjoy the whole onsen by myself. The room was also very spacious and had a nice space for chilling with friends.

    Super friendly and welcoming staff, we were able to communicate even though not all of them spoke English. Authentic atmosphere, very nice territory and quiet nature, perfect time to enjoy silence and peace. Comfortable and punctual shuttle service. Wonderful dinner experience, it was great to have English description for all the dishes we ate. Beautiful onsens, it's a pity people with tattoos aren't allowed into public ones, but at least there is a possibility of visiting private outdoor and indoor onsens.

    We needed a hotel in central Himeji closed to the railway station, and this hotel fullfilled our expectations. The staff were very friendly and helpfull to find a solution for parking our car in a lot a block away from the hotel. Very nice onsen on the roof with external bath.

    Overall was very nice. We wanted the traditional ryokan, onsen experience and this certainly met our expectations. It is a decent half hour drive from Himeji but the ryokan offered a complementary shuttle service. Dinner and breakfast were good and they even did our breakfast early as we had to leave early.

    Lovely ryokan in the middle of a quiet Japanese forest. We had an amazing dinner and breakfast, and enjoyed soaking in the natural hot springs on the hotel property. Would definitely recommend for anyone looking to take a quiet break from the world and just relax for a few days.
