“The best ryokan we experienced in Japan”

This is the best guest house / ryokan that we experienced in Japan. The hosts are so kind, nice and dedicated to our comfort, we loved it. When we left, they gave us a small origami they had done for us. They took pictures for us... Really exceptional, we highly recommend!

“We are so glad we visited Yoshiharu. What an amazing experience. You and the staff were beautiful hosts , cooking the m”

Great location. Very authentic. Incredibly friendly and helpful owners of a small family run business.

“Amazing hosts, cute traditional stay”

The family running it are the sweetest. You can use the public onsens around the town before check in time, they will give you the towels etc. Breakfast is included and it’s traditionally Japanese (not for picky eaters!). Their private onsen is small but functional, you just lock it from the inside and stay as much as you want. Aircon in every room.

“nice experience to stay in a japanese ryokan”

did not have breakfast because she could not give us vegetarian - but gave us banana and sweet dish as compensation. Very sweet and helpful lady who was concerned because of my old mother along with us.

“Perfect location and amazing hosts.”

Amazing location, 3 minutes walk from the station and close to all the onsens, the breakfast was so delicious and filling.

Nice region. We stayed there as siblings and had a large room. We were served a super delicious traditional Japanese breakfast. The staff were extremely kind and helpful. We were able to relax perfectly, which was much needed during our trip through Japan. The location was also great — we could reach public onsens, the train station, supermarkets, cafés, and restaurants within about 5–10 minutes. There was also a private onsen in the hotel, which was excellent as well.

“Amazing hotel to made me relax”

Good hospitality, kindness and amazing dinners and hot springs. ROOMS and TOILET are clean, and also silent to sleep well.

“Unforgettable”

The ryokan we stayed in was so beautiful, comfortable, and spacious. We really enjoyed the traditional experience of sleeping on the Japanese futon and wearing the yukata provided by the hotel to visit the onsens. The staff were incredibly nice and helpful — very hospitable! They explained everything to us, helped us locate and choose the best onsens, and were always available to provide anything we needed. We strongly recommend this ryokan, and we’d like to thank the staff for their kindness and warm hospitality :)

Our stay at this ryokan was absolutely wonderful! The owners are the kindest people ever – they truly cared about us, constantly checking if we needed anything and how they could make our stay more pleasant. Everything was spotless, tidy, and perfectly organized. We felt completely at home. We even played a fun game of chasing ping pong with the owner – such a lovely memory! 😊 The ryokan itself feels like a time capsule – it’s a place where you can travel back to old Japan and experience the atmosphere of a traditional Japanese home. It was such a unique and authentic experience that we’ll never forget. We wholeheartedly recommend this place – one of the warmest memories from our trip to Japan.

“The perfect place to enjoy a night in Kinosakionsen.”

The service is marvellous. The hosts were really lovely and provided us with everything we needed. We received helpful information about events in Kinosakionsen and what time they are going to take place. Parking, Yukata, Towels, Pictures and more were perfectly provided and we would love to come back. The futons/ beds were so comfortable, that we genuinely missed them in the other accommodation, where we stayed the following day on our trip.

“Do not hesitate a second, go there !”

This was the second ryokan we stayed at in Kinosaki and so far it was the best place we stayed in 10 days of exploring Japan. The check in time was set at 3pm but we arrived early, around 10 am. They granted us access to the room which was very large and comfy. The futon were really comfortable. The location is perfect. They have private onsen that you can access from 3pm to 11pm. But the most important thing is the staff. The owner was so nice. She had a translating device and took a lit of time to explain us many things, guide us through the city helped us find a restaurant, lent us some japanese umbrella and took some typical japanese pictures of us for free and on the day of our departure where it was heavily raining gave us a ride to the station. We leave this place relaxed and fueled with energy thanks to them.
