Hotels in Kinosaki Onsen, Toyooka

Everything was excellent. The ryokan is well located very close to the public baths and has itself 2 private baths that you can use in private the afternoons. The personal went above and beyond to make our stay better, even with the language differences. They let us store our luggage before the check in time and took it to the train station the day of check out. They lent us some yukatas to stroll in the town and the owner proposed to take some pictures of us outside the ryokan which was a nice detail. The room we stayed, was a typical ryokan room with futon and everything, which complements the charm of the stay. The food was delicious and they even explained us how the items in the dinner were supposed to be enjoyed. Super authentic experience and totally recommended.

Amazing experience, we really had a great time. Being european, we were quite unknowledgeable about this part of japanese culture, but this wasn't a problem, as the staff were very kind and willing to explain things to us (even without spoken words on some occasions). The dining was unforgettable (although I must say, if you are not used to japanese food and/or seafood, I recommend that you keep an open mind and a willingness to try something new, as many of the dishes were quite different than what you may be used to). Everything was really tasty though, and by far most of the dishes suited our palates really well! Both the on-site onsen and public onsen in the town were stellar. Location is a bit further from town (900 meters), but the staff are always ready to drive you and pick you up, so no issue at all. They also have e-bikes so you can take a ride up to the coast (takes about 10 minutes on the bike).

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.

I can not describe how amazing everything here is, The staff, the room, the food… everything out of this world

Nice staff and very good services. A good place for relaxing and enjoy hot springs.

I have no words to fully describe the amazing experience I had. From the check-in till the checkout all the employees where amazing into all aspects, letting everything prepared beforehand for the check-in, with the room selected, clear instructions about the facilities, the tour in the hotel and showing how to use the installation, the welcome hand made message with Origamis in the room, the amazing hotel Onsen (which for me was even better than the ones around the city), kimono selection and the support to understand how to use that, the delicious food that the waiter had an special attention and patience to tech me how to eat king crab... It was more than a stay as I said it was a full experience that I will sure experience again in the future :) thanks to all the team for the dedication, sympathy and care that you provided into all the steps of this experience:)

Beautiful hotel with lovely rooms and excellent staff. Had delicious dinner and breakfast. The private baths are also fantastic. The hotel provides kimonos and yukatas to change into, and has a very soothing reading area.

So peaceful and relaxing from the moment we arrived. Off the Main Street which adds to the tranquility but still super close to everything as Kinosaki Onsen is tiny. The staff were attentive and lovely, with excellent English. The private onsen was lush, as were all the public ones that we tried. We found the futons to be very comfortable and slept well. In fact we overslept as we had planned to visit an onsen before breakfast but ended up enjoying a lie in! We upgraded to the Tajima beef meal and it was exquisite, probably the best meal of my life. This was a much more pricey hotel than I would normally choose, but was excellent value for money for a unique and luxurious experience.

All the employees we came in contact with, were extremely helpful, and kind despite the language barrier. The hotel offers a luxurious stay, with the staff being humble and approachable. The hotel onsen was also beautiful, equipped with all the necessary amenities. The view from our room to the garden and the river was great and relaxing, making you feel part of the nature

This place was excellent. The rooms were clean and wide. Stafffs were friendly and their service was incredible. The public hotspring bath in the hotel was clean and comfortable to use. They also have convenient shuttle buses operating in every 30min. Best hotel ever in Japan.
