坂本屋旅館
8,6/10 Excellent - Based on 13 reviews
Sakamotoya Ryokan sits on the quieter coast of Kyōtango, offering a family-run experience focused on traditional Japanese hospitality. The inn limits guest numbers to preserve a relaxed atmosphere; rooms are tatami and range from small eight-mat layouts to larger suites, many framed by windows that look toward Kumihama Bay. The property follows a "sleep-and-dining separated" approach so meals are served in dedicated private dining rooms while guest rooms remain a quiet place to rest. This modest scale and the on-site hot spring bath make it suitable for travelers seeking a ryokan with onsen in Kyōtango.
The public onsen and a small bathing area offer a warm, simple hot-spring experience rather than elaborate spa facilities; guests can use the communal bath and enjoy views of the nearby waterway. Meals emphasize local seafood and seasonal produce—winter menus highlight Matsuba snow crab—served as multi-course dinners in private rooms. Basic conveniences include free Wi‑Fi, on-site parking, television in guest rooms and standard toiletries; the inn also offers local sake and a house-label cold sake.
Located a short drive from the nearest coastal beach and within easy reach of small temples and fishing villages, the ryokan suits visitors seeking a quiet coastal base for both summer swimming and winter seafood-focused stays. Staff prioritize simple, attentive service over large-scale amenities, and the property operates with limited daily arrivals to maintain a calm rhythm. For travelers seeking a compact, authentic coastal ryokan with onsen in Kyoto Prefecture, this inn provides direct access to sea views, seasonal cuisine and a low-key regional onsen experience.
