We stayed in a Room with a garden and an open-air bath. We had a wonderful time chatting while drinking beer on the veranda.The whole Matsuba crab was also extremely delicious, and we thoroughly enjoyed dining in the Room.It is conveniently located close to the public bathhouses, making it easy to go on an onsen-hopping tour.The attendant was not quite up to expectations, but the other staff and the proprietress were very kind and helpful.Overall, we felt it was an excellent Accommodation.

Even during the busy spring break season and with many international guests, the staff were consistently kind and attentive, which we truly appreciated. The Ryokan has a charming, traditional feel, but it didn’t seem old at all—it was well maintained and kept clean while preserving its atmosphere. In Kinosaki Onsen, visiting the public baths is the main attraction, so I didn’t expect much from the indoor bath, but it was also clean and very pleasant. I felt the meals could have been a bit more filling, but it actually worked out well—we had room to grab a crab bun and enjoy a beer while we were out visiting the baths. One small thing: the slip-on sandals for going out in yukata were quite worn down and made walking a bit difficult (haha). There were a couple of minor issues, but they were addressed quickly and we had no complaints. Overall, we had a wonderful stay. Thank you very much.
