GretaItalyAccoglienza impeccabile, personale gentilissimo e cortese. Ottima pulizia e splendida onsen. Anche cena e colazione sono state assolutamente all'altezza. Dovessi rifare un viaggio da queste parti, tornerò sicuramente…
LunaItalyStaff super disponibile e gentile. Onsen molto grande e molto bello. Navetta gratuita per il parco delle scimmie.
La cena è stata buona ma secondo me qualità/prezzo si può fare meglio.
RichardCanadaStaff spoke very little English, everything was rushed. No explanation about dinner.
The room was lovely, large and clean but the layout was very strange. Only a sink in the toilet area without soap, you had to walk through the unit to wash your hands at the other sink.
JasonUnited StatesA wonderful way to experience traditional Japanese hospitality, onsen, and cuisine.
Central location, beautiful balcony view, delicious traditional Japanese cuisine, and relaxing onsen—well done!
Perhaps the shower nozzle could be mounted a little higher on the shower wall.

- That the desk is staffed when you land, and that the room is held past cut-off.

Questions about Ryokan Biyunoyado
What time is check-in and check-out at Ryokan Biyunoyado?
Check-in is from 3:00 PM. Check-out is by 10:00 AM. If you're arriving late, tell us and we'll ask the property to hold the room.
Does Ryokan Biyunoyado allow pets?
No — the property states that pets are not allowed.
Is there parking at Ryokan Biyunoyado?
Yes — the property states that parking on site is free. Whether a space can be reserved in advance varies, so we check it against your dates.
Does Ryokan Biyunoyado have Wi-Fi?
Yes — internet access is listed among the property's facilities.
Does Ryokan Biyunoyado have wheelchair accessible rooms?
The property lists step-free or accessible facilities. That flag is the one least able to settle the question: a hotel can carry it and still have a step at the entrance, or a bath rather than a roll-in shower, and it does not say whether the accessible room is free on your dates. Tell us what you need and we'll ask the property directly rather than reading you the flag.
Can I check in late at Ryokan Biyunoyado?
The property lists a front desk staffed 24 hours, so a late arrival should be possible. Standard check-in is from 3:00 PM. Rooms are still released after a cut-off at some properties regardless of the desk hours, so tell us your arrival time and we'll have them hold it.
How do I book Ryokan Biyunoyado?
Put your dates in above and book online, or call (888) 789-8585 and we'll do it for you — including things a booking form can't handle, like a block of rooms, a monthly rate or an invoice for your employer.
