Sumihei Bettei Tokitoki

As my daughter is moving out of our family home, we finally visited Genbudo—something we’d long hoped to do—and stayed in Kinosaki Onsen for the first time.From Genbudo, we took the bus to Kinosaki Onsen Station and got off at the Jizo-yu Koen-mae bus stop. It’s a 1-minute walk. The Accommodation is right next to Jizo-yu, a famous public bath. Across the river, there’s also a FamilyMart.The lounge offers afternoon tea until 5:30 PM, and alcohol is available as well.There’s a server for Kinosaki Pilsner, and it tastes amazing in a chilled pewter tumbler.There were also plenty of sake and wine.Dinner starts at 6:00 PM, and of course alcohol is free—truly all-inclusive.There were nuts and cheese too,but the sashimi boat platter was outstanding!! The “Gokuraku-mushi” steamed dish with medicinal herb sauce was so delicious that we both went back for seconds.After dinner, you can still use the lounge, and on the first floor they even served petit cakes and rosé wine until 2:00 AM—my daughter was thrilled.I suffer from seasonal allergic rhinitis around this time of year, so being able to take aroma oil back to my Room was incredibly helpful. I slept comfortably with tea tree oil.Drinking Japanese herbal tea before bed also warmed me up and helped me sleep well.The hair dryers in both the private bath and the Room are Dyson.If only there had been firm pillows… it would have been a perfect score. (Even so, we were told only soft pillows were available—thank you very much for preparing various things in advance.)As for the Diamond benefit tote bag after bathing—was it forgotten? When I asked, they brought it right away along with Sekkisei amenities.Late check-out allowed us to relax at our own pace, which we really appreciated.They even celebrated my daughter’s new start on her own and gave us a commemorative photo—she says she’ll display it in her new home. We made truly wonderful memories.P.S. My daughter apparently left a message for housekeeping saying she slightly dirtied the restroom. We apologize for any inconvenience caused.

We stayed for two nights!The service was polite and excellent!The food was also excellent!I’d been busy since the end of the year and hadn’t been able to relax much,but I was able to unwind here.Thank you very much!I’d love to stay again!
