Yamatoya Honten Ryokan Osaka

The most gorgeous typical Japanese hotel I have ever lived in. Keys needs to be submitted to the front desk when you are planning out which I had never seen and imagined. Unbelievable near the bustling street of Donton. And some unexpected Izakayas you may visit.

I am in the hospitality business. Renovation costs in Japan are extremely high, and I imagine that this place has the same problem as many other small hotels. i.e. it is too expensive to do a full renovation. This Ryokan would have been much more expensive when the decor was new, as the rooms are very nice with ensuite shower and toilet. My room was in very good condition. Furthermore, the Ryokan is in the heart of the city, a 10min walk from Nippombashi or Namba Stations. Now the carpets and decor are shabby in places, but not the rooms, so for the price that I paid, I consider it an "excellent" stay. The staff were kind and professional. The Ryokan is right on the water's edge, and if the area directly next to the stream were kept clean and beautiful, the location would be fantastic, and much more expensive. Unfortunately, the streams that run through Osaka are dirty, and what could have been an incredible asset is instead a neglected, dirty and ugly "water corridor" instead of a beautiful and green area to enjoy refreshments right next to the water. Perhaps someone from Osaka Tourist Board or Osaka Government will read this review and consider a major renovation and clean-up of these water-courses that criss-cross the city of Osaka. They could become Osaka's greatest asset.

Fantastic position and great room. Quick check in and good customer service.

Great location right in the city centre near dontonbori markets. Free public bath at the ryokan and authentic ryokan feel. However, amenities were a little run down

太棒了！房間是舊的可是很乾凈，温泉比較小用來體驗很不錯。早餐日式經典，需要在前台先預訂時間。酒店也提供👘體驗，也必須提前在前台預訂。房間睡衣用的是浴衣，可以按照自己的高度選，非常貼心！

가족들과 다다미 바닥 스타일에서 3박을 했습니다 직원들이 친절하고 방이 매우 깨끗하고 번화가 주변에 있어 여행하기 좋았습니다 방이 강변이 보이는 곳이였고 비가 오는 날이라 더더욱 좋았습니다

늦게 오사카에 도착해서 늦은 체크인을 했는데 너무 친절했어요 역에서 가깝고 주위도 놀게 많고 방도 깨끗하고 다시 이용하고싶어요

酒店雖然開業很久了，但是非常乾淨，很傳統的日式風格，最後一天早上試穿了店裡的和服，然後在店裡吃早餐，體驗非常好！

일단 아이가 너무 좋아해서 좋았고 위치도 좋고 깨끗하고 다 좋았습니다!!!
