A wonderful property with very lovely staff who were friendly and helpful. The onsens on the property were great.. We appreciated being a touch further from the public onsens because despite the amount of people walking around in the evening, it was still very peaceful. Very comfortable tatami beds and the traditional breakfast is a must if you really want to immerse yourself in the experience.
Spacious rooms and with respectful guests who were quiet, it was a very enjoyable place to stay.
Would recommend staying here and will tell fellow travellers to please respect the traditions of the Ryokan and understand this is a place for a quiet peaceful stay, which we were delighted to be able to enjoy.
We stayed one night as a quick visit. The hotel is located at the end of the onsen strip. It's a older hotel. Lights are dimmer than the ones in the cities. We like that we get futons and sleep on the floor. Front desk staff speaks limited English, but they try their best to answer our questions. They will use a translator to help us understand if we have questions. They also loan out yukata for us to wear and we can onsen hop to other hotel onsen at no additional charge. We get a tour to our room from the hotel staff. Breakfast was absolutely fantastic, but you will need to reserve to get a spot. A lot of shops closed by 8 pm so book dinner at the hotel if it's available. We didn't stay long enough to enjoy the onsen at other hotels so will definitely return to try other onsens next trip. The shower room was super clean for an older hotel. Looks brand new!
I did not stay in this hotel but booked for my bother and his partner due to the one I stayed at was full. The location is very good as it is 5-10 minutes walk to the train station and on the main street of the hot spring town, close to shopping and the public baths. However, the room rate is not cheap, and if you want dinner and breakfast, you have to pay extra to purchase them.
Lovey ryokan in a great location in Kinosaki onsen. Beautifully styled rooms. Excellent service and location. Peaceful and quiet and close to the station. Would recommend. Dinner and breakfast was delicious and a really great experience.
The hotel is centrally located and a short 5 minute walk from the train station, and the staff are very friendly and accommodation.
The hotel is very clean, the rooms are spacious, and the hotsprings within are spacious and relaxing.
