Yumotokan

Yumotokan

10/10 Excellent
"Absolutely amazing experience. Only feedback is to slow down the kaiseki dishes as it felt a bit rushed at times. But other than that, a perfect getaway. Highly highly recommend, especially for first time ryokan goers. The most important part of a ryokan is its food - and this was impeccable. Thank you!"
