Yamamotoya Ryokan is a historic 350-year-old inn in Kinosaki, Hyogo, overlooking the willow-lined Otani River. Guests can enjoy traditional Japanese rooms, seasonal kaiseki dining, and house-brewed craft beer. The inn also provides passes to Kinosaki’s seven famous public baths, all welcoming tattooed visitors, making it a rare fully tattoo-friendly onsen town.
The ryokan is foreigner-friendly with English-speaking staff, online reservations, credit card acceptance, and private baths for a comfortable stay.
