2 star hotels in Toyooka

This place is amazing. The owners were so kind. As a solo foreigner traveling in Japan this was one of the highlights of my trip. We both had just a little of the others native language, but with the help of Google translate we got on well. I can’t recommend this place enough. I will definitely be going back.

I arrived on my motorcycle in the rain. I was grateful for the landlady's thoughtfulness from the moment I arrived. After taking a bath, I relaxed in my room while waiting for dinner. For dinner, I had sukiyaki, but it was too much for one person to finish. It was so delicious, I felt bad for leaving some of it. I slept soundly in the silence that night. Breakfast the next morning was also delicious...

This inn was absolutely fantastic in every way – the proprietress's personality, the service, and the food. The rice was especially delicious; we ate every last drop in the rice cooker! 😅 The shabu-shabu meat and vegetables were also superb. The portions were generous, and the room was clean, beautiful, and spacious, allowing us to relax completely. We went to the hot springs at a nearby roadside station...

A 3200km solo motorcycle trip to Kyushu and back over a week to celebrate retirement. I stayed here on the second night of the outbound journey. It was a no-frills experience. It had air conditioning and Wi-Fi, and they parked my motorcycle in a place where it wouldn't get wet from the rain. The bathroom and toilet were shared, but it's unfair to compare it to a large chain hotel. The landlady was...

Nashikiso was a good inn where the personality of the landlady was revealed, even before he visited the inn. I am very careful about corona measures, and I am grateful that I have never met other customers and thought about how to divide the flow lines! And, in a cozy room, I was relieved with a warm body and a warm feeling, with the attention to the futon and the blanket being held a lot ✨ (* ^...

I ate so much that I thought it would be a crab. Actually, I didn't really like crabs, and I thought eating them was a hassle. However, when it comes to the deliciousness of yaki crab! !! Also, the strawberry sorbet that was served last. It was too delicious. It wasn't an exaggeration, it was sadly delicious to finish eating! I had no complaints about the bath and bed, and all my relatives had a good...

I was traveling to Kinosaki Onsen with my family and was researching ryokans. I heard about Tsukimotoya Ryokan for its location and excellent breakfast and dinner, so I made a reservation. The service exceeded my expectations, and I was especially impressed by the free umbrellas they provided on a snowy day, making my hot springs experience a breeze. The accommodations were also excellent, and I was...

Located behind the Liutang bathhouse, it's convenient to access several other bathhouses. However, the rooms and dining options are just average. QR codes for the bathhouses are only issued after 3 PM, which isn't enough time for a full soak.

The place is clean and the service is excellent! Especially since the breakfast and dinner menus are different every day. It was a very comfortable stay! 😁

I really enjoy my stay at Tsukimotoya Ryokan. The room is clean and neat. The environment of the hotel really makes me feel comfortable. Definitely will come back again

I really enjoy my stay at Tsukimotoya Ryokan. The room is clean and neat. The environment of the hotel really makes me feel comfortable. Definitely will come back again

The location of the hotel is very good, it is just after the street of the outer hot spring. There is a foot bath as soon as you go out of the main entrance. You can upgrade to the dinner menu for one night and two meals. Breakfast is fixed. Although the mother-in-law does not understand English, she is very hospitable and there are younger people who understand English and can communicate. Check in...

It was a truly unique and atmospheric experience! I loved that they met us right at the train station — such a warm welcome. There’s a whole wardrobe of yukatas to choose from, which makes the stay even more fun. The dinner was wonderful and very atmospheric, and the private onsens inside were just perfect. The staff were all so kind and welcoming. Highly recommend!

Other than the peculiar old smell, I had a good stay without any inconvenience. It is a place with friendly staff and delicious food. I would 100% visit again. The four free private baths in the guesthouse were also very nice. I arrived a little early, but it would have been best if I could have checked in early.

Would recommend to everyone! Great onsen and perfect service. Will be back again!

It was a wonderful experience! Everything was clean, a wide range of yukata for women and beer/cola compliment for men. Some staff people speak English, everything was so convenient. Kaiseki dinner was marvellous, we are still processing it)) It was a pleasure!

There are 3 private hot springs, the cutest is the duck with 100 that one, so that outside there is a free package to the outside male elephant bath, dinner and breakfast is quite good, very rich. One thing to share is the wrong number of people, we were originally a family of three large and one small 2 years old, but the mistake of four male surnamed adults made our meal fee increase more yen 17...

The hotel is an old house but the rooms are quite big and clean. The food for one night and two meals is okay, and if it is a more expensive hotel, the food will be more exquisite. The hotel is right next to a public bath and has 4 private baths, which is quite convenient. You can walk to the station, but the hotel has a bus pick-up. Overall, I think it is good value for money and exceeds my expectations...

A cheap and good quality hotel to stay at kinosaki onsen. I recommend it

A remarkable traditional Japanese Ryokan experience. This is not a large hotel but every detail has been thought of. We stayed in the “double” Japanese/Western room. It worked very well. The Kaiseki dinner was outstanding. Two nights really wasn’t enough. It is quite expensive but you really get what you pay for. This was my favourite hotel in Japan. The three “private” Onsens were also lovely...

convenient location and good communication staff

This is the budget version of the property, away from the main property, but for anyone looking for a no frills stay, this place is exactly it. Relatively modern room and very clean. Size of the room will be a squeeze with large suitcases, will recommend bringing smaller hand carry bags if possible.

We stayed in the additional wing, quite modest accommodation, could have been a little cheaper, otherwise everything was great!

Thank you so much for this lovely expierence with our familiy at your Ryokan in Kinosaki Onsen. It‘s been a wonderful time 🙏

Excellent service! The driver specifically came to pick me up at the station at 2:00 PM.

Near Kyoto station. Very good breakfast buffet but very crowded and busy with tourist.

Everything was perfect! Very tasty crab dinner, excellent staff and cleanliness everywhere. I recommend it

This elegant Japanese-style inn boasts spacious and refined rooms and a comfortable onsen (hot spring bath). The meal package includes two meals a night, featuring luxurious and delicious dishes. During the autumn and winter seasons, a snow crab feast is served. The inn is a 10-15 minute walk from Kinosaki Onsen town, and the inn provides complimentary tickets to seven outdoor baths in the town.

Quiet and beautiful place located shortly outside of the busier parts of town. Staff are friendly and helpful. Food and onsen were great.

I'm very pleased with my stay in this ryokan. The staff speaks English quite well. Spacious rooms in traditional Japanese style with futons as beds and have a kotatsu. In-house onsen is on the level of great onsens of the town, with outdoor parts, which are most cozy that have the addition of cold water bath for contrast experience. The location is a little bit farther from the center and all onsen...

Was so good i enjoyed the rooms are so big and traditional 😚

Hotel Kinparo is indeed the star of this trip. Location is a little far from Kinosaki Onsen and knowing a little Japanese when u contact the hotel will be great. They can arrange to pick u up from JR Kinosakionsen station. Recommend the ocean view room as it is absolutely relaxing to hear the seagulls and waves after a soak in their public baths. Their Kaisenki is also worth a special mention. The...

The staff were very polite and I enjoyed my stay. The hotel was a little far from the center, but the shuttle service was well managed and I had no problems. The room was clean and the view was better than expected, and the indoor bath was spacious and relaxing. We were served a wide variety of dishes made with seasonal ingredients, which were not only delicious but also visually pleasing, so overall...

The three sisters went back to Kinparo after 20 years. The emotions they felt before came back to life, and they recalled their memories vividly, and they were happy while enjoying the hot springs and eating a wonderful kaiseki meal.

Excellent room view and delicious breakfast The hotel is older and about an 8-minute drive from the town center. Note that the last shuttle from the hotel is at 3:30 pm, because in summer the shops in the town begin to close at 4 pm. The room is very large, with full sea view and sunrise. The breakfast is delicious and unique. The service staff is enthusiastic and the dining experience is pleasant

It was very convenient as it was adjacent to Kinosaki Marine World. The room felt old, but the view of the ocean from the window was beautiful. The large public bath was also clean and we enjoyed it. However, we were a little disappointed that both the bath towels in the room and those in the large public bath had a slight smell, like they had been dried in the shade. The breakfast selection was...

The hotel is located in the riverside The view outside the window is very good Although it is relatively far from the main commercial streets However, since the hotel has free pick-up and drop-off, there is no problem with transportation If you are going to take a bath or stroll around the hot spring street, you can always ask the staff to pick you up and pick you up at a specific location to transport...

I went during the off-season, there were almost no other guests. The lady who greeted us was very nice, and we could communicate easily using English and a translation app 😂 The hotel has its own hot spring where you can soak ❤️ It was my first time having a full Japanese breakfast, and we booked hot pot for dinner. It was a bit of a shame that there was no crab this season 😂 Overall, it was still...

I was very impressed with the service. The staff were lovely and enthusiastic. The hotel is quite far from the city center, and the public baths are onsen, but you can reserve a private bath.

This is my second time staying at this hot spring hotel. I feel just as comfortable and relaxed. The food portions are big and tasty. The environment is my favorite. I will choose this hotel again when I go to Kinosaki.

It's a great hotel. The scenery outside the window is beautiful. The room we stayed in for 5 people was very big. When we arrived at the station, the staff asked the name of the hotel, and then called the hotel to pick us up. There was a special car service to the hot springs for the next two days. Winter is the time to eat the local specialty Matsuba crab. Remember to pay extra to book a full crab...

Hotel was a little far from the hype but they provide free shuttle bus service, which was awesome! They also had private onsen in the facility. Room has a toilet but shower has to be at the public bath.

The staff are nice, however, after entering the room it’s quite terrible due to smelly and very humid. Besides, you can’t find the outlet plug for your electric devices. There are many spots needed to be improved, because all the food for breakfast everyday is the same. There is not much choices and only very few vegetables. The food quality is just fair. If any other hotel choices I definitely...

Convenient stay at Blue Ridge Hotel, front desk staff hospitality is one of the best I’ve received despite the language barrier. Amenities are slim but what they do have is top notch. Shuttles are available to/from the ski resorts and nearest JR station, and are synced to opening/closing/arrivals/departures. Onsen is a great plus in winter trips, and the outdoor bath is a beautiful snow filled forest...

Friendly staffs and welcoming smiles. Can take “Bus to Kannabe” to stop around here. The resort has the nostalgic feel with imported Europe furniture. Rooms were larger compared with modern hotels. Soft comfy beds. Separate bathrooms and large mirror. Should include breakfast and dinner if visiting here as there’s limited restaurant(one🥹) nearby. There’s free service for Bicycles use and sports. Closest...

A quiet hotel in the forest It feels old, but the rooms are spacious and I really like the country feel. The hot spring is good, and the open-air bath where you can enjoy the starry sky is also nice. However, the only way to go down from the second floor to the first floor is by stairs, which are quite steep, so it may not be convenient for the elderly. The food is buffet style for both dinner and...

Spacious room. Several vending machines around the hotel. Ski and snowboard gear rental and transport to the ski trail. A real nice hotel if you are planning on going skiing and or snowboarding. However checking first if the ski area open is highly recommended. When I went there, there was only one ski area that was opened, that was even a man-made snow.

Nice and spacious. The hotel is surrounded by nature. The environment is quite and peaceful yet you can find what you need in the vicinity of the Hotel!

Breakfast was included, but the grilled flounder was small and I wish it had been a little bigger. However, I still had coffee after the meal before leaving.

The food (breakfast) and service were both excellent, and I plan to return next month.

Friendly and clean accommodations, close to the station. They also helped me call taxis. Breakfast was simple but excellent. Thank you.

The hotel is reasonably priced, though the toilet threshold is a bit high, so elderly people should be wary, while younger people are more vulnerable. The location is convenient, the rooms have all the amenities you need, and free parking is available.

This time, I couldn't get time off and only stayed one night, but it was very convenient as it was close to the station. I'd like to use it again.

This was my first time staying at the hotel, so it was much better than I expected. There are many shops around the hotel! I didn't feel inconvenienced.

Had a lovely stay here. The onsen was excellent and very relaxing, and the ryokan room was spacious, clean, and comfortable. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, making the stay even more pleasant. Breakfast was delicious and nicely presented. The location is probably 10 mins walking distance from the train station and the popular public onsen area, but the free shuttle service made getting...

The service was top-notch, really warm and friendly, and they could communicate in English. Dinner had a fantastic variety of food. Just a heads-up, there's no bathroom inside the room itself.

A lovely hotel and wish to revisit, the room are fantastic, it's good combination between western and Japanese style with big room and bed. Also including complimentary of all drink in fridge (both water and alcohol drink). Although the staff could not communicate in English, but they are pleased to help us. There is free shuttle bus to public bath area. Breakfast is also delicious and beyond our expectation

A great location. Amazing view of the river. A massive amount of food for breakfast and dinner. Gave us free champagne for girls' trip and some freebies like leg fatigue plasters. Staff do not speak much English, but we get by just fine with simple translation via apps. Visited more by locals and is wheelchair friendly.

It’s a very nice onsen hotel in Kinosaki with great river side view from the hotel room. You can also choose many different pattern of Yukada from hotel offer to walk around the onsen town and enjoy the different types of onsen. The hotel staffs are warm and very helpful, we had good time staying in this wonderful hotel in Kinosaki.

A great ryokan. Huge rooms, excellent service. They will meet you, arrange dinner, give you haori and geto. The hotel has a perfect atmosphere, a very cool onsen and a chic relaxation area with massage chairs. This is the very unique experience that is 100% worth the money. And also a cute stork's nest from the window :)

My group of four friends had a very good stay at this hotel. It is very well maintained, located in a great location and provides great service. I previously stayed here with my family in end 2024. It is still as good.

good place for rest, private onsen so awesome.

The service was very attentive, but it's a shame that the hot spring facilities are old and lack a view.

Although the hotel isn't right in the heart of Kinosaki Onsen, the town is small, so getting around is easy and convenient for visiting the seven public onsens. Don't forget to get your stamp at each one and collect a small gift back at the hotel! The hotel also has its own hot spring bath, it's not huge, but it's usually quiet as most guests go to the seven public onsens. Guests can enjoy a private...

Awesome hospitality :) nice hotel overall :) wanna come back!!

The hotel staff and service were incredibly friendly and welcoming, and the facilities were excellent. I stayed in a nostalgic tatami-style room, and the hotel even made up the futon for me in advance. On the first floor, there's a hot spring available for guests. The hotel also provides a complete yukata set and an onsen all-access pass, allowing you to visit the famous seven hot springs nearby....

This stay was utterly incredible. Attentive, kind and helpful staff who were so supportive with language barrier, they even had staff who spoke English explain food and give us print outs which was so gratefully received and truly made a huge difference to our stay. Thank you Keita! The gardens were peaceful, the room was traditional and a completely peaceful retreat. There is a personal bath included...

Exceeded expectations! This small, exquisite hotel features traditional Japanese-style rooms, and the private onsen is excellent. You can also book a private onsen for exclusive use. The included breakfast and dinner were delicious! We enjoyed Tajima beef every night! The only downside is that the restaurant's service quality could be improved; it doesn't quite match the Michelin-level food.

What a fantastic ryokan! We spent a long time choosing where to stay in Kinosaki – my husband and I both have a lot of large tattoos, so Kinosaki was the perfect onsen village option for us, as all the onsens here are tattoo-friendly, even if you have very large and numerous tattoos. In the end, we decided to stay at Yuraku and were absolutely delighted! The hotel is located a short distance from the...

This is a fantastic place, a complete immersion into Japanese culture. I definitely recommend visiting.

Great hotel within walking distance to public onsen. The hotel also has its own small onsen, which can be booked at the guests' request for a room for 45 minutes. The water in the springs is very hot 😅 We had a Japanese-style room. We slept on futons, and this is the best experience and best sleep of the entire trip. In the lobby, both during the day and at night, you can contemplate the garden and...

Please book this hotel if you go to Kinosaki Onsen! The staff was really amazing. They were all super friendly and nice and always put so much effort in making our stay enjoyable. Big thanks to Kairi for explaining everything so well and always being patient with us. Also thanks to Tomoki for the great service. We loved our stay there so much we would love to come back here again when we visit Japan...

The hotel was very clean, the service was attentive, the food was delicious, and the value for money was extremely high.

Great ryokan, the staff are incredibly kind. They will take good care of you. They have a private onsen, which is a plus. The rooms are large, clean, and traditional. You can still have a Western-style bed if you prefer. Very well located, very close to the train station so you can quickly drop off your luggage. They provide a yukata, geta, and an unlimited pass so you can enjoy the onsen as much as...

Fabulous and beautiful hotel Hotel Onsen is great and staff were wonderful making it a perfect stay. The food in the evening was so well prepared and included all of the regional specialities with crab and oysters. Fun to walk the streets and enjoy the public Onsens for a true Japanese’s experience. We were so lucky to also be there for Autumn festival !

Rooms were very traditional BUT with private toilets and Western mattresses, the latter of which I especially appreciated as I can't sleep well on futon. The hosts were very helpful and accommodating and I recommend having the breakfast included. They feed you well and it's a unique experience if you're not used to traditional Japanese breakfasts.

We had a wonderful stay. Our room was an authentic stay. They provided great customer service, clothing was fun to wear and private onsen was a plus. I will return again and recommend to friends.

Very welcoming staff, they put in a lot of effort and little special touches to make our stay memorable. Would definitely stay here again.

I chose to stay here for convenience when going to Ankoku-ji Temple. The hotel facilities weren't new, but they were very clean, and the onsen (hot spring bath) was very comfortable. I recommend the hotel's breakfast and dinner packages. The hotel service was excellent. Early in the morning, while I was having breakfast, they proactively asked if I needed a hotel shuttle. After looking at the route...

It is attached to a day-trip hot spring facility and is open until 9pm with day-trippers. If you choose the right time, it wasn't too crowded even on the weekends, so you can take your time in the hot spring. After 9pm, only overnight guests can bathe. The alkaline hot spring water was very viscous. We could see the double cherry blossoms from the open-air bath, which was a blissful experience. The...

I thought the name was from the Silk Road (old commerce) but now I think it was because the onsen was really, really 'silk'-like onsen, glides off your arm, so silky! Really loved the outdoor onsen with its huge rock formations, Buddha statutes, occasional waterfall, and mountaintop fresh air. The lobby was nice, with vaulted ceiling and windows with bright sunlight. We were there later in the evening...

Impression of premium twin accommodation with half board. It's true that the hot springs didn't irritate my skin, but it was highly praised by word of mouth, so maybe my expectations were too high. The feeling of saying. It was a crab 🦀 course, but unless I made a special order, it was frozen crab. This point was disappointing and I was sad that the shell was cut in half, but I think the food was carefully...

This time, four of us shared a room. The room was spacious and faced the street. The natural light was excellent, which I really liked. The landlady and staff were all very kind and friendly. I really enjoyed it!

Visit in May 2025. This large spa town, easily accessible by train, is a must-see. Several onsen (hot springs) are scattered throughout the town, which you visit sequentially using a pass provided by the Ryokan (traditional ryokan). Note: everyone wears traditional clothing provided by the Ryokan when walking in the streets and going to the baths. The rooms are spacious and quiet, with toilets, and...

Tsutaya Ryokan is a beautiful old building with a calming atmosphere that evokes nostalgia. Mr. Nakai was very friendly and attentive. He was very knowledgeable, providing us with information about hot springs and hints about the next day's destinations, which was very helpful. The meal was a kaiseki course meal, and the crab was delicious. The breakfast was light, with boiled tofu and grilled fish...

It was a wonderful time spent at the tsutaya ryokan! The staff was very polite and friendly, they helped us with everything on our first trip to Japan. The yukata and haori were warm even in rainy weather. The kaiseki was incredible! I didn't expect so many different delicious foods, and we managed to get the snow crab. Thank you very much! You helped me fulfill my dream! I hope to come back to you...

We had a fantastic stay at this Ryokan. The staff were so attentive and welcoming (Thanks to our room attendant, Suzan) We arrived a little earlier than check in but we could go up to the room and were provided with tea. The room was beautiful and the beds were prepared when we were eating dinner. We were shown how to wear the yukata and even had welly boots for the rainy weather. The food was the...

This was a very kind and hospitable inn. I used a discount coupon for the plan that included breakfast. The breakfast was sumptuous. For dinner, the sukiyaki meat was delicious. It was a convenient location for touring the hot springs, and they also left my car there. They even took me to the parking lot about 50 meters away. The room was spacious and clean. The bath was quite small, so I gave it a...

Lovely stay in this cozy onsen hotel. The newly renovated private onsen was lovely. The staffs were kind and attentive. Food was excellent. We overall had a very relaxing stay.

This ryokan was the highlight of our Japan trip and such a memorable experience. The location was very close to the train station and within 10-15 minutes walk to the majority of the public onsens. The in-room crab and beef dinner was delicious.

A very comfortable stay! It's just a 3-minute walk from the station, and from the moment we stepped in, the staff took wonderful care of us. Dinner in the room was delicious, and the private onsen, which doesn't require a reservation, was absolutely perfect – much more comfortable than the public baths. We made sure to use it as many times as we could. If any friends come to Kinosaki Onsen, I'll definitely...

Had a great time staying there. Feels a little bit inconvenient without private shower at first, but turn oublt just fine. Great place to stay as it's right in the centre of the town and pretty easy to walk around.

Location is good. Room is quite new. However, we are located on the 1st floor and directly on 2nd floor is the breakfast dining area. Hence, we were woke up around 5.30am by staff footsteps above, setting up the breakfast. Wall is very thin. We were unwell after eating the dinner sashimi that night. We chose the last dinner slot at 6.30pm. Both had diarrhoea, vomit and fever.

Thank you for such a great experience! The best impression of the trip. Definitely worth the money, the kaiseki dinner was amazing. Kinosaki village is a very interesting place, next time we'll definitely stay for a few days.

A very good location right across family mart and nearest to Di Yu Tang. Right adjacent is a bbq, seafood cafe. Overall, it is a very well maintained ryokan majority of their floor is tatami. Which also means u cannot roll ur cabin size in its premises. Their staff will help u carry it to ur room. We are only given 1 key to our room despite we are husband and wife and going to different male and...

The room does not have a bathroom, so you need to use a public bath. A hot spring hotel, Kinosaki also has six major hot springs, but the male staff at night said that bath towels need to be charged extra, which is puzzling

The room was large, the bed was very comfortable, and the whole town of Chengqi Onsen was very cozy and pleasant. I loved it. There are many restaurants worth eating at, such as Haizhongyuan, a pub run by a mother and daughter/daughter-in-law, all of which were very good, and the coffee and breakfast sandwiches at No.1 were also very good. We originally booked a two-night stay with two meals. One day...

The room is spacious, and you can enter the private garden through the floor-to-ceiling glass. The Jizo hot spring next to the hotel is also very good. Although it is close to the train station, there is no noise impact at all. (It’s a pity that I came across the exterior wall decoration and couldn’t appreciate the appearance)

It was amazing! food was so so, but the service, private onsen, was wonderful!

The staff were extremely kind, the food was amazing and there was so much of it, and the location was perfect! 10/10🔥

A Truly Enchanting Stay at Hotel Tenbouen From the moment we arrived at Hotel Tenbouen, we were swept into a world of charm, warmth, and unmatched hospitality. Nestled in a serene setting, the hotel exudes a quiet elegance that immediately made us feel at ease. Every corner seemed thoughtfully designed, and the atmosphere was nothing short of magical. The staff were beyond accommodating; gracious,...

Loved it! Th place is amazing. Great service and staff. I wish o could have stayed longer. Worth th stay.

I love Tenboyuan so much. The room is super large and comfortable. I recommend the one-night stay with two meals. It's a good stay and the food is delicious. I love Mana and all the reception staff. They are kind, polite and cute.

A really nice place for a night. Price was reasonable. Staff was helpful and the onsens were great. We had dinner and breakfast. Dinner was great but breakfast was ‘sukiyaki’ which is usually a dinner dish which was too heavy and smelled really strong. Staff may not speak English…

It's really great. The service, food and rooms are very cost-effective. The Japanese service is meticulous and it has thought of everything you can think of. The kaiseki cuisine is also quite ceremonial. This is not the most expensive hotel I have stayed in in Japan, but it is definitely the most satisfactory one.

Booked for 2 nights with breakfast and dinner. The room is clean and spacious. The hot bath facilities is awesome. Very relaxing. Breakfast is delicious. But for dinner, it was not what was expected. Perhaps to state what kind of meals will be provided in the description during booking, so that not to cause misunderstanding or confusion.

The hotel is quite remote and quiet, and looks a bit eerie. We stayed in the old-looking parking garage building and had to walk across buildings to get to the onsen. However, the staff were helpful and gave good recommendations. Everything was clean, the bed was soft but looked very old.

A stunning place away from the hustle and bustle, surrounded by mountains and the bay. Large room with all the comforts and a beautiful view.

The age of the hotel was nice and charming, but the toilets were smelly and the quality was not commensurate with the price, which was disappointing for someone who works in the hotel industry.

The facilities are a bit old, but the service is excellent, and the food is also good.

The room is super big, 2 super single bed, one dining table and one Japanese style dining area. The hotel and the facility is very old but the stuff is very polite and provide good service with smiles. The location is very far from the station and is so isolated but if you are driving a car then can consider to stay there. Overall, I am quite satisfied and have a pleasant stay

I will still give 5 for the great value for money compared to adjacent more expensive accommodation. Hope unsafe things there get improved. Location: 8-10 minutes walk to the train station. Near Family Mart! In the heart of Kinosaki onsen touristy street. Service: When I arrived around 4pm,there is no one to help me carry my heavy luggage up to the 3rd floor. There appears to be no elevator. Room...

Such an amazing stay. The highlight of my trip to Japan. The Japanese style room was very spacious and comfy. Staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. Location was perfect and breakfast was delicious!

I stayed here for two nights and had such a warm, friendly experience. The breakfast was great and they even accommodated my vegetarian needs.You have the option to rent bicycles at the same front desk you check in at which was also super convenient.

We stayed 2 nights half boards at Koyado Enn. This is beyond awesome experience in terms of location (very close to JR station), wonderful services with doable English communication + scrumptious breakfast and dinner. Oh forgot to mention its happy hour drink in the afternoon which we enjoyed after public onsens hopping; we had sparkling plum wine and hot/cold sake! Thank you, Koyado Enn!

The hotel staff was an absolute joy and helped me with any issues I had. Extremely welcoming and very nice. There was a trainee named Nguyen Thi Dung who helped me a lot and really made me feel welcome. The private baths were sublime and the food service was some of the best I have had personally. Definitely a wonderful place to stay at if you want to visit kinosaki onsen.

My second stay at this ryokan. Service still good and location within walking distance to train station and attractions.

The rooms are clean, the food is delicious, and the front desk staff and dining staff are very kind and polite, so I couldn't fault them.

Complete facilities and sumptuous dinner

This hotel boasts a prime location on the Takeno coast, offering stunning ocean views. If you have time, you can walk across the river to the coast near Takeno Kyoka Village, where the scenery is equally beautiful yet remarkably uncrowded, allowing you to quietly enjoy the views. It's conveniently located just one JR stop (10 minutes) from Kinosaki Onsen, yet few Chinese tourists venture here. You...

The experience was generally great. The hotel is surrounded by clear waters and a beautiful geopark that offers stunning views and a lovely hike. The hotel is famed for its crab kaiseki, which most visitors here come for. However, they do not convey that you will only get to eat the crabs once even if you have a longer stay. The rooms are old and dated, but comfortable and clean. The hotel's service...

The views!! Beautiful views and ocean beaches right out the door!

The service was good, but the facilities were old and the renovations seemed incomplete.

Above all, the full course crab meal was amazing, and it was really nice to be able to enjoy the beautiful view of the Sea of ​​Japan. The service from all the staff was also very warm and wonderful. Also, the baths have been renovated, and the atmosphere is great, and the open-air baths are surrounded by nature, which was nice.

Our room was very clean and beautiful, with a nice view from the balcony looking out to the street. Ryokan is located further away from the central area so it takes some walking to get to other onsens, but Kinosaki is a walkable area and the views are beautiful so it is an enjoyable walk. Service was welcoming although it was tinged with a little.. I don't know how to describe it except for condescension...

We loved our two-night stay at Tsuchiya Ryokan. It’s a beautifully maintained, spotless ryokan owned and run by a family. Unlike many traditional ryokans we stayed at, this one feels more modern and stylish. Everyone speaks English, and there’s an option to book rooms with Western beds instead of tatami. We chose tatami and were very happy with it. Breakfast was simple and Western-style, which we...

Tsuchiya Ryokan is a family owned - operated ryokan. We stayed for one night and we have a great time there. The Owner greeted us and explain us how to use kimono set. I never actually realize how important family operated ryokan. We been to few osen towns in Japan, this i would say one of the most pleasant stay - service that we get. The location might be a little bit far from station, but you got...

We stayed for 3 nights and, having experienced everything the town has to offer, would strongly recommend planning 2-3 nights as well. There’s far more to enjoy than you might expect—from exploring all seven public hot springs in town (each with its unique character), to local shops, scenic walks, the ropeway, creek-side strolls, and memorable cuisine. The hospitality extended by Kazuki and his mother...

Absolutely beautiful — clean, peaceful, and surrounded by an incredibly charming onsen village. But what really made our stay special was the people. The staff were exceptionally professional and attentive; they took care of us in every possible way. The food was outstanding — truly a 10 out of 10 — and they even offered to pick us up and drive us back to the train station without us ever asking....

A family run business, all the staff members were very friendly and helpful. They went the extra mile to make sure we were taken care of and had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. The rooms were very comfortable and clean and the in-house dinner was exceptional.
