We loved our stay! Beautiful property in a very convenient location, but above all, the staff was absolutely wonderful. They went above and beyond to make sure we had a wonderful time. I had a careless oversight and left our train tickets in the room and a staff from the hotel ran all the way to the station to hand us our ticket just in time. Incredible! Thank you so much! We will always stay here when we visit Kinosaki!

Perfect stay in kinosaki onsen. Free pass to all 7 public baths. Super traditional and quite a blast from the past. Everything is very old school and charming, with the exception of the toilet (brand new as Japan does).

Quaint, traditonal ryokan in the heart of it all
Great ryokan in the heart of Kinosakionsen. We stayed in a standard room with no breakfast or dinner. The ryokan has a private onsen, a female public bath, and a male public bath. The male bath is small but nice. You get a pass to go to all the onsens in town for free, and your own pair of yukata, geta, jacket, and a second jacket for cold weather. The service is excellent, though speaking a little japanese will go a long way. Before 430pm there is fluent English speaking staff, but at night there is nobody that speaks English. The rooms are clean, traditional, and quiet. Very fun to spend time on tatami mats and sleep on the floor in futons. At night, you fall asleep to the click-clop of geta on old streets and the laughter of friends and family warm from the onsen. It is really a step back in time, and every minute was a joy.

Great way to enjoy the onsens!
We stayed for 2 nights in early December. The ryokan gave us warm yakatas and everything we needed to walk around the town comfortably at this time of year to visit the onsens (big umbrellas, handbags for towels). The crab feast was quite an experience as we grilled crab over hot coals and made soup. Maybe worth the money if you're a big fan of crab. Breakfast was amazing, many small delicious dishes that changed each day. We were welcomed in English (much appreciated) and other staff were friendly and adept at patiently explaining Japanese customs to newbies. The ryokan is very close to everything - less than 10 minutes walk to the train station, right on the river and a short walk to restaurants, onsens and the ropeway. Self-serve laundry a great bonus. Totally enjoyed our stay!

Was central in the town and we were lucky enough to have a room facing the waterway. 3 of us shared the room which had its own facilities. We slept in the traditional Japanese manner. Do not think there are any western style beds available.

Excellent value for money
It's a bit old but clean and properly setup. The location is best, right in the center and hosts are very welcoming and helpful. Like all other places in the town they provided us with nice Yakutas and explained us how to wear it. Also they gave us the pass to all the public baths in the town. They have their own public bath as well but we didn't try that one out. In general I found Kinosaki to be expensive in terms of accommodation and this is mostly the only Ryokan that was fitting my budget so in that sense I found it an amazing value. Will recommend without a doubt.
