Relaxing getaway!
Lovely getaway for an authentic Japanese Onsen bathing experience. The suite room was gorgeous and came with a private bath which was very worth it for me ! Many delicious local restaurant options nearby too. Staff knew enough English to get us settled. Highly recommend for 1-2 nights as part of your trip.

Relaxing stay
We had Suite Room B and it was very spacious and well maintained. Rurikoh had many good services (free shuttle to/from Kagaonsen train station, spa w/massages, outdoor foot onsen, taiko drum performance, free afternoon snacks), a beautiful outdoor onsen and large indoor one, very good traditional Japanese breakfast, and very welcoming staff. A short walk (approx 8 min) to several grocery stores and restaurants.

Loved this place! Staff was very friendly and helpful. They had a drink and snack bar available when we got there. It was quiet and relaxing. The only thing that was confusing was that they told us we couldn’t eat at the restaurants at the hotel. We had to go outside of the hotel to eat, but was fine because we went to an AWESOME yakiniku place called Akichan.

It's seen better days. Quality of the meals was disappointing. Room was spacious and clean but the property in general is tired and needs upgrading. It's a bit on the outskirts of the main part of Yamashiro Onsen but there's a bus stop across the street if you want to get into town. We took it to get to Yamanaka Onsen and to Kakusenkei Gorge.

Classic East meets West Japanese hotel. Onsens are great, room onsens are also well designed and modern. Rooms are very large; ours was traditionally designed. Taiko drums at 9pm is a fun option. Don’t be afraid to walk the neighborhood and eat at a local place. The locals might be a bit surprised to see you but they will embrace your presence. Stayed in a very hot summer so be prepared if you are coming at that time. Even though Japanese use less AC than Westerners, Air conditioning struggled to keep up with the extreme heat indexes into the 100s.
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. Room was fantastic and the private onsen terrific.
Set dinner experience was great too and they were able to cater for my wife’s gluten allergy, which some other ryokans we checked would not.
Staff were great too!
