Yamamoto Ryokan

Tähditykset perustuvat Klookin yleiskatsaukseen kohteen tiedoista (kuten sisältyvistä palveluista ja tiloista jne.), ja ne ovat vain viitteellisiä.

Convenient location. Nice room. Badly in need of a make over. Shared bath not suitable for larger travelers.

Very old. Mediocre cleanliness. Awkward trying to communicate with the owner/host. It was our least favorite place we stayed with in Japan. Should have been much cheaper considering the quality of the accomodations.

Easy to find and the room a nice size

The main problem I had was the toilets and the washing areas, due to me being 6ft I had problem using them. If you are around 5ft 5 it will ok.

It's a beautiful Showa Era Ryokan that's over 70 years old. There is a 200 yen accommodation tax when checking in (this tax applies for all accommodations in Fukuoka), which I happily paid for as I want to support sustainable tourism). You leave your shoes at the main entrance and use slippers throughout the Ryokan. You are provided a toothbrush, yukata, and a prepared tea set that you can pour hot water in immediately to consume. I believe I met the owner's father, who checked me in. He was incredibly patient, introduced me to my room (which was clean and tidy), set up my bedding, and guided me to where the facilities were while explaining in Japanese with some English translations. The amenities are a little outdated, but in exchange-- the accommodation is affordable and breakfast is an available option. The walls are also a little thin-- so you will hear some noise from the outside, this did not bother me though as the area was quiet during the night. The check-out time is 10AM and I easily did so by leaving my room key in the basket at the main entrance. In summary, the Yamamoto Ryokan is an affordably wonderful and historic place to spend your nights. They have an instagram: @yamamotoryokan and a cute Shiba Inu dog named; Charmie. I sadly didn't get to meet the dog but heard them barking in the morning.

I had another great experience at a Japanese ryokan. The owner was caring and efficient with what he needed to do before handing over room key.

A little small and worn, but very nice place! The hosts were friendly and the place was well kept and clean.

I had to duck at every doorway, but the place was nice and very clean.

When I checked in this hotel I felt myself in scary movie “Wrong Turn 2”. Staff not welcomed us, room facilities is not good, one bathroom for all guests, Internet is so slow and sometimes disappeared, room facilities is terrible, i so regret of staying in this hotel, checking was not refundable otherwise I would stay in another hotel:(

Shared bathrooms, insufficient electric outlets ( just one in our room ) , on the plus side staff doesn’t get in your way, breakfast was ok for the paid price , good location
