Yumoto Ueyama

Traditional rooms , wonderful meals and staff. The Ryokan was able to accommodate our party of four, dietary needs. The shuttle service was awesome! Thank you staff for a great three night stay!

This was our first stay in a ryokan, and we were truly impressed. Staff was very kind and helpful, the room was lovely and comfortable. It was nice to get fresh yukatas and towels delivered to the room. The dinners served were beautifully presented, tasty and plentiful. The staff accommodated my pregnancy dietary restrictions very well. The outdoor onsen we used was lovely and peaceful, we especially enjoyed the private family onsens. We got a ride from the Himeji station when we arrived and back to the station when we left, which made the stay easy and effortless. Strongly recommended!

I would add an instruction sheet for us foreigners about how to return the used yukatas and towels.

We had a beautiful room.

The general areas were run down

I chose this location based on it being billed as family-friendly, and it totally delivered on that aspect as far as the onsens/public baths are concerned. I (mother) was traveling with my son, and I really wanted him to have that experience, and it felt safe and comfortable for him.

The provided breakfasts and dinners were definitely fancy and authentic, but for first-time visitors to Japan, a little overwhelming to us with the novelty of it all. But, if you're looking for the real deal, and healthy and unique and adventurous, this is your place! The most disappointing part of our stay was the incessant motoring that cycled the entire night for the air-conditioning just outside our window. We tried to play white noise on my phone to cover it up, but it was just too loud. The property should really look into an A/C that doesn't need to cycle up a motor constantly. It really hurt our sleep.
