“Traditional Getaway”

What a beautiful experience. Kinosaki is a wonderful town and this ryokan is right in the center of the action. All the staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful, the food was delicious and the room comfortable. Highly recommended!

Queríamos uma experiência ryokan Onsen para nossos filhos, que são na sua primeira viagem ao Japão. Tivemos dificuldade em encontrar este hotel da estação de trem - e finalmente fizeram com localização por GPS mobile b. Localização está escondido atrás de um omiyage (dom) loja ao longo da rua principal (muito convenientemente localizado - a curta distância mínima para todos os onsens nos entope-de GETA). Nós só conseguimos experimentar 4 das 7. O nosso favorito era Gosho não Yu (exterior) com a cachoeira. Todas as refeições (Jantar e Pequeno-almoço) foi no quarto onde estamos dormindo. O Jantar foi muito abundante. Cada quarto é atribuída uma equipe que vai cuidar de nós, que serve as refeições e perguntando se temos transporte para a estação de trem, etc. O nosso era uma senhora suave chamado Tomoko que falava um pouco de inglês. Ela nos ensinou como usar o Yukata e disse-nos para usar o Tabi gratuito (meias) sobre o Geta (entope-madeira). mostrou-nos que molho para que prato, etc. etc. Toda a equipe foi muito gentil e paciente conosco. Muito Obrigado. Grande experiência Cultural. Primeira vez balneares tantas vezes em um dia.

“Great service and comfortable rooms along the Kinosaki canal!”

I had the pleasure of staying here with 3 of my friends for one night during the long weekend. We had a little trouble finding it, but that was mostly because we were distracted by the many beautiful sights and shops that Kinosaki had to offer, all of which were well within walking distance of this cozy little ryokan. Upon finding the entrance, we were impressed by the mossy stone and tree-filled corridor that led us away from the busy energy of the main street and transported us to a place of comfort and peace. The reception was filled with several staff members waiting to greet us and show us to our room. Despite this, it was unbelievably quiet. Check in took a minute before we were shown to our room. The room was clean, brightly lit, and could accommodate all four of us. Though I found the ensuite bathroom to be a little small, that is only because I'm over six feet. My friends didn't seem to take any issue with it. Wifi was available in the room, and comfortable yukatas and traditional overcoats were provided for us to change into during our stay that really tied the whole experience together. If they don't have one that fits you in the room, you can call down to the front desk to request a larger size. I was thankfully able to get one that was long enough to accommodate my height! My only gripe was the fact that the mini fridge in our room was not for personal use but rather was full of beer, soda, and other drinks that would be charged to the room. We had opted to bring out own drinks, but others might find it convenient that they don't have to go to the corner store if they don't want to. While this ryokan is certainly more affordable than others, we had opted for a more expensive reservation that included a special seasonal dinner of snow crab, the local delicacy of Kinosaki during the winter. The reservation stated that each person would get 1.3 servings of crab. I wasn't sure what that meant but rest assured we all ate more than our fill of crab. No one left the table hungry. Rice, soup, salad, pickles, vegetables, and even beef were among the side dishes served along the SEVERAL courses of crab. Not only was everything delicious but beautifully presented. Great for those who love to Instagram their food~ As with most of the local Ryokans, passes were provided for us to enjoy the many hot springs that the town had to offer, which we enjoyed thoroughly. It is absolutely recommended that you do this, or at least head out for an after-dinner stroll along the canal. This allows the hotel staff to come into your room to freshen things up and lay out the futon beds and duvets for the night. This meant that when we returned sleepy from our hot-spring baths, our beds were already made and waiting for us. We all slept in the same room, talking late into the night before settling down into a comfortable sleep. Then in the morning after breakfast, we went downstairs to the ryokan's own private baths to freshen up before our check out. Both the men's and women's baths have indoor and outdoor hot springs to enjoy. When checkout time came at 10am, we were reluctant to leave. We had a magical time and made many great memories even during our short stay. While it lacks a few of the more basic amenities that some might be used to from a more modern hotel, the trade-off is a traditional and authentic experience with eager and attentive service staff that are never more than a phone call away. 4/5 - Definately a solid choice of Ryokan for the price and the optional upgrade to the seasonal Crab feast is also worth the extra cost.

We spent our first two nights in Japan here. It was also our first ryokan experience and it was great. Service was excellent, as staff was very polite and friendly.They greeted us with a warm welcome and gave us an even warmer goodbye. The reception and the corridors are a bit dated and the carpet in the hall and the stairs would benefit from more careful cleaning, but we didn't have any issue with the room or the spas. The room was bright and spacious and the onsen was pleasant. We very much liked that breakfasts and dinners were served in our room and find the quality of food very good. On one occasion only we thought that the crab rice was overcooked, but overall we were very happy. Little English was spoken and our Japanese is non-existent, so more often than not we were not sure of what exactly we were eating, but this was not a problem. Location is spot on, right in the centre of the town, with public onsen, shops and the train station at a short walking distance. All in all, I would highly recommend this ryokan for a genuine Japanese experience.
