Beautiful, nice breakfast and friendly staff able to speak in english.

“Beautiful Ryokan”

Beautiful Ryokan and excellent service. We were given beautiful Yukatas to wear for the Onsen. Super convenient for the train station and Onsens. Beautiful view from our room. My favorite stay of my trip.

“Kinosaki-onsen is an attractive hot spring resort”

The location was excellent, near the centre of this pretty onsen town and short walk from the station. The kaiseki (banquet meal) served in our room was very tasty. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Entry to the many onsen (hot spring baths) and use of a kimono was include in the hotel stay.

+ Staff did their very best to be acommodating to us eventhough there was a language barriere very often (only 1 staff member was fluent in English). Everyone was polite and friendly. + private spa was really nice + kaiseki was high quality and delicious + sleeping on futon was surprisingly very comfortable + location excellent, near the train station and konbini + Thank you very much for the service!!!

“Exceeded expectations”

New, clean, exceptional service, exceeded expectations. Loved our stay thank you!

“Ichidaya in Kinosaki was Superb”

Our experience at Ichidaya was fantastic. The staff were very kind and helpful. The room was just magnificent. We had a traditional Japanese room by the river. The location was superb. There are 2 in-house private onsen. They also have a coffee machine downstairs and icecream in the freezer for patrons. My daughter and I highly recommend Ichidaya as a place to stay.

Private baths were really nice and easy to use, rooms were super clean and staff accommodating

“Excellent traditional hotel with fantastic staff.”

Central in town. Staff were amazing. Room was beautiful and tradition.

“Genuine traditional Japanese living experience”

Great to experience the Japanese Onsen culture and staying at a ryokan. This included wearing a traditional Yakuta and Geta (wooden sandals). Also liked the private Onsen included with our stay.

“Very good”

All the staff is very nice Vietnamese girls very kind

“Best Hotel ever”

Everything was amazing at this hotel 100% would recommend it. food was fantastic service was spot-on The room was stunning Onsen was clean and relaxing They had beautiful yukata for the woman and they even helped me to put the yukata on correctly.

“We expected the most peaceful time, but the place and the staff ended up a bit oppressing and not easy to deal with.”

The place looks beautiful, the breakfast is delicious.

The meals were too over the top - it’s not possible to eat so much food. They should consider food waste when deciding how much to serve people. The staff’s English capabilities were limited. The location is right near both the street and the train tracks which meant it was noisy when trying to sleep.

“Weekend in Kinosaki”

Very nice personnel. Good japanese breakfast, and onsen availability was good. Small establishment that, while modern, gives a feeling of authenticity.

“Not impressed with facility and service.”

Location was good and was next to the main street and next to one of the 7 public onsens. They provided yukata, baskets and shoes for going to the public onsens. Staff was polite.

“A great place to stay for this wonderful Onsen spa town.”

Great location, excellent staff, delicious food.

“Pleasant stay at Ichidaya. We love the unlimited Onsen hopping!”

1. Near to train station. 2.In house Onsen. 3.Complimentary coffee/ice cream/yoghurt at lobby.

The location was perfect as my mom had weak knees and couldn't walk much from the station. We also ordered the breakfast halfway and they accommodated us for last minute order and the food served was amazing! Travelled in a big group with a family of 6 and they helped set up the rooms to be opposite each other for a closer bond.

“Highly recommended guest house for an authentic ryokan stay in Kinosakionsen”

The service, the friendliness of the staff, the food - all were really excellent. One can also enjoy two private onsen in the house. Also, the location is great, since it's only a few meters to the next public onsen.

“Spa town perfection”

This was the perfect place for an authentic stay in Kinosaki. The location allows for you to visit all seven onsen, the rooms were spacious and clean, and, best of all, the dinner and breakfast were tasty feasts. Both meals took place in our room, where staff cleared the area and then served us several courses of delicious food. We were lucky to be in town during the famous crab season and enjoyed both crab and shabu shabu tajima beef for dinner. After dinner, the space was cleaned and our tatami beds were set up in the evening. We didn't stay around to watch, of course, because post-dinner onsen is a must! We had such a thrill walking around town in the yukata that were provided by the hotel and also appreciated the umbrellas they gave us to shelter from the light mist. Ichidaya is a great spot for anyone looking for a hotel that balances the freedom of visiting all that Kinosaki has to offer (we also made it to Onsen-ji, up to the top of Mt. Daishi, and visited several shops) while also experiencing the magic of ryokan hospitality.
