Hotels in Kinosaki Onsen, Toyooka

Everything was great in the ryokan, but a special note goes to the host and his family. He was awesome, drove me with my luggage to the station, and helped me in every way he could! A must-stay place if you're going to Kinosaki!

We were there for our honeymoon and loved pretty much everything about our stay there. The property is so well renovated with clear wooden floors, the rooms are impeccably clean, the staff and especially Iwasaki-San took such good care of us. And the food is excellent, we got to discover even more Japanese specialties. We will remember this trip forever!

This was an incredible stay at a beautiful accomodation with fantastic staff, food, facilities, and a peaceful and special vibe. It was amazing from the get go, being greeted by friendly staff and given a tour around the incredible grounds.

Amazing hot spring baths (especially open air) Tasty Japanese breakfast Beautiful tatami rooms and futon Kind staff that tries their best so guests can enjoy the stay.

For our first time in a ryokan it was a great surprise and experience. The room was the good size for 4 people and we enjoyed the balcony with the view to the town's main street and the river. The staff is very friendly and helpful, and takes great care to explain the different activities to do in the ryokan and in the town. We had an amazing time using our yukatas and hopping from one onsen to another, and we also very happy with the meals that were prepared at the ryokan - the dinner was definitely the best we had in all our stay.

Everything was perfect! Most of the staff speaks English and is very helpful and kind. The surrounding is beautiful and feels like a movie. The private spa is amazing and we had a great stay. Can't wait to be back to Japan soon :)

Service from staff was incredible. The view was beautiful from our room and the tatami beds were really comfortable.

nice environment and excellent services

We had an exceptional stay, and it was a highlight of our trip. Please see summary below: Location: Excellent. About a 6 minute walk from the KinosakiOnsen Station and close to the stream that runs through the town. Room: This is one of the most luxurious rooms we've stayed at and the best we would find in Kinosaki. It is as shown in the photos and has an attached private bathroom in addition to the tub. The room was spacious and clean. I am not sure if the water in the tub is spring water but we spent most of the time bathing in the private and public onsen. Check in was at 3pm. Private Onsen: There are one of two options to pick from at no extra cost, the micro bubble room and traditional room. Both are nice and clean. We decided to also pay to reserve a second private onsen for 45 minutes. In addition, there are male and female public baths at the Inn - depending on the time, you might be the only person in them. Public Onsen: Like all Ryokan in the area, you are given a pass that allows you access to all the public Onsen in the town. Yukata: We were given yukata in standard white and blue/black colours at no extra cost and also had the opportunity to pick a colourful Yukata from their selection. Meals: We are vegetarian and Tsubakino was very accomodating. We were served a set meal for dinner and breakfast - again, this was the nicest Japanese food we had during our trip. I have added a photo of the breakfast with this review, the dinner was much more elaborate and spanned multiple courses. Service: The service was excellent. We had forgotten some clothes in the closet, and the Inn promptly delivered it to our next hotel in Kyoto.

Loved the traditional style and the “sentimental chihiro” atmosphere. Everything was excellent: rooms, food, service, Onsen, garden. Will definitely go back the first chance possible
