Yamamoto Ryokan provides air-conditioned accommodations equipped with LCD TVs, electric kettles, and free toiletries. The property includes an indoor public bath and shared bathroom facilities. A restaurant serves daily meals, while a vending machine offers additional refreshments. The ryokan stands 0.5 miles from Kiyomizu-dera Temple and Kennin-ji, with Maruyama Park also within walking distance.
