Nationwide × Accommodation For Enjoying Walks In The Onsen TownHighly rated for customer service and hospitality at Hotel·Ryokan - 73Page Number

I’ve been making regular Reservations at this beloved Accommodation for about 10 years now. They always welcome me warmly, and the atmosphere is homey and incredibly comfortable. The Accommodation is also clean and well maintained. On top of that, the proprietress and the head chef are both wonderful people. The Onsen uses pure natural spring water, so the quality is excellent—it warms you to the core and leaves your skin feeling soft and moisturized. And above all, the food is simply outstanding. Each dish is brought out freshly prepared, so everything is served hot. You can really feel the care in every detail—beautifully presented with refined flavors. Everything is delicious, but I was especially amazed by the breakfast miso soup. Personally, it was the best I’ve ever had! In every way, satisfaction here is consistently high—an Accommodation that makes you want to come back right away. I’ll be making another Reservation soon. Please take good care of yourselves—I’m looking forward to seeing you again next time.

This was my first stay, and it was simply wonderful. The Accommodation is old, but the amenities and Facility are well equipped. Having a cold-water pitcher in addition to the tea set was especially helpful. Being able to quickly drink cold water after the Onsen felt great. They also offer a free aroma diffuser rental, and I slept very well with the relaxing scent. The Room was more than spacious enough for just my husband and me, and it was spotless and clean. The staff were also very pleasant—nothing to complain about! Because it was during summer vacation season, the breakfast buffet was extremely crowded and a bit tiring, but aside from that everything was excellent, and it became an Accommodation I definitely want to stay at again. After my stay, I accidentally left something behind in the Room. Thank you for your kind help when I called—it arrived safely. I’m sorry for the trouble. Next time, I’d love to return with No Meals Included. Highly recommended. There are so many good points that I can’t write them all here, but I definitely want to visit again—thank you in advance when that time comes.

It’s not in the Onsen town, but it’s within walking distance. The food was delicious, and the bath on the top floor was also great. The Facility was clean, and everything was good right through to the final send-off. It made me want to visit Gero Onsen again.

A stylish hotel utilizing a historic building. The lounge offers exceptional financiers and cookies, highly recommended. A wide selection of alcoholic beverages is also available. However, the room specifications are somewhat limited, and while the water facilities are clean, they are minimal. Kinosaki is known for its public Onsen hopping, which I learned later. The best way to enjoy this accommodation might be to explore the local Onsen and sightseeing first, then relax in the lounge afterward.

I stayed at this Onsen Accommodation for a Multiple Night Stay of two nights. Both breakfast and dinner were served in the same private dining room, and we had the same staff member each time, so we could enjoy our meals in a very relaxed and calm atmosphere. The food was excellent and very satisfying. However, there was no accommodation guidebook in the Room, so I would have appreciated having one.

I have stayed at Onsen accommodations before, but this time we decided to visit Oushuku Onsen and chose Kawanaga. The hospitality was wonderful, perfectly matching the quality one expects from a Ryokan. The signboard with "Welcome [Your Name] Party" had a nostalgic Showa-era charm that made me happy. The floors were polished beautifully, and the futons in the room were fluffy and comfortable. Although the faucet in the indoor bath showed some age, it was well-maintained and clean. The outdoor Onsen is 100% natural spring water, so it was slightly lukewarm; however, this allowed for longer soaks without feeling fatigued—a great feature! The road leading to this Ryokan during autumn is lined with golden rice fields. The Akita Komachi rice served here was incredibly delicious—perhaps even more so because I had just admired those golden fields beforehand! The Hittsumi soup was also delightful. This is a quiet accommodation where you can truly relax—I highly recommend it!

I stayed to support the Hakone Ekiden. The runners pass right in front of the Property. The building is old, but it has been modernly renovated and is very clean. The Room has a cozy feel and is relaxing, and above all, the breakfast was wonderful. Since it was New Year's, there was ozoni and osechi cuisine. It was beautifully presented and delicious, as if dining at a first-class restaurant. I deducted points because the TV couldn't receive BS broadcasts, but the service from the Stays staff was courteous, making it one of the few places I, a travel enthusiast, would want to visit again.

I stayed here again for the first time in a while since the renovation. The open-air bath was different from before, and I enjoyed it with the men’s and women’s baths switching. The Room was a Japanese-Western style, so it was spacious, but the bed was narrow and the pillow was high, making it hard to sleep. The meals were very delicious, served at just the right timing. The salmon sashimi was a little unique—well thought out and tasty. The ayu sweetfish also had just the right amount of salt and was very enjoyable.

Although it is an old accommodation, it was clean and comfortable to stay in. The room does not have a toilet or refrigerator, but they are conveniently located nearby outside the room. From the window of the room, there is a balcony-like area where you can enjoy views of trees, the murmuring river, and a glimpse of Oushuku town's scenery, which was very soothing. I would love to visit again in autumn.

Everything—from the meals, baths, and Room to the staff’s hospitality—was absolutely satisfying. Both breakfast and dinner were beautifully presented and truly delicious. In addition to what was served at the table for dinner, a separate table was set up with obanzai (Kyoto-style small dishes). Everything I tried was delicious. The broccoli salad, marinated tomatoes, and pickled quail eggs in particular were so good I wanted to try every single dish. Breakfast offered both Japanese- and Western-style options, which I really enjoyed. The baths and Room—and in fact the entire Ryokan—were spotless and very clean. Thoughtful touches were everywhere: trays for jewelry in the bathroom and at the sink in the Room, as well as a warm note about what to do if insects appear along with insect spray provided. It made me feel genuinely happy. And at this price point—I’m truly grateful. I don’t usually want to return to the same Accommodation, but this is a wonderful place that makes me want to come back.

We stayed with our 4-year-old and 1-year-old. Since it was both of their birthdays, you prepared a cake and celebrated with us, and when the staff took photos they used a sound-making toy to get the children’s attention, so we were able to take wonderful pictures. The large public bath can be used by children as well, and the women’s bath has a shallow pool, watering-can toys, and a chair for seating a 1-year-old. There was also a shower right next to it, so I could shower while watching them play. My mother passed away recently, so I brought her photo and placed it on the table. When we returned from the bath, dinner had been set—and in front of her photo you had placed rice, miso soup, pickles, tea, and even a meal for her. I was deeply moved. At breakfast as well, you kept an eye on us and quickly brought anything we needed; every member of staff was truly wonderful. For an Arima Onsen trip with children, this is the only choice.

The all-you-can-drink welcome drinks were fantastic. Draft beer, highballs, chuhai, and more. A variety of soft drinks is also available for children. It was a great way to unwind after a long drive. When you think of Ibusuki, you think of the sand bath. They also explain what to do afterward if you get sandy. You wear a special gown and the staff covers you with sand. The service was very courteous, and we were extremely satisfied. We will definitely visit again.

I visited in search of an Onsen that is not chlorinated and does not use circulation. As expected, there was no chlorine smell, and the water was gentle and very satisfying. The meals were carefully prepared and truly delicious—I left completely full. The building is old, which can’t be helped, but the excellent hot spring water and food more than made up for it, so overall I was very satisfied. One episode that left a strong impression: After checkout, the attendant came to see us off at the entrance. After saying goodbye, we headed to the parking lot a short distance away (it took us some time to finish packing). When we later drove past the entrance, we realized she had been waiting in the heat just to see us off! She kindly stayed until the very end, and I was deeply touched by her warm hospitality. Thank you for taking such good care of us. We truly appreciate it. I would love to visit again.

I made a direct Reservation and had a very pleasant stay with kind, attentive service. I was surprised by how steep the hill is, but the Onsen is free-flowing from the source and left my skin feeling silky smooth, and the meals were carefully prepared, lightly seasoned, and delicious. I’d love to come again.

When we arrived at the bus stop, Mr. Kuboji was there to pick us up by car. We hadn’t requested it, but since it was raining, his thoughtfulness made us very happy. The Room was spacious, and although three of us stayed, we were able to relax comfortably. The meals were delicious, and we had a wonderful time. The warm, home-like atmosphere was the best.

We stayed here at short notice so my son could attend a rugby training camp. Even with rising prices and during summer vacation, we were able to stay at a great rate—with dinner and breakfast included. Dinner (including chicken hot pot) came with an all-you-can-drink option, and we left completely satisfied. Breakfast was also just the right amount. The Onsen temperature was perfect as well. One thing that concerned me was the surroundings—not the building itself, but the area around it. It’s a shame, because the food and Onsen are excellent. With a bit of tidying up, I think it would feel much nicer. The scenery really matters—atmosphere and charm, too. With hopes for improvement, I’d like to stay again. Thank you as well for accommodating my son when his plan suddenly changed to No Meals Included.

The free-flowing natural hot spring water overflowed generously, and it was wonderfully hot and relaxing. It’s located a little away from central Kusatsu, but I’m sensitive to noise, so I was thrilled to sleep soundly in the quiet. They provided Shuttle Service to the town center, so I could enjoy a beer without worrying about driving or parking. The facilities were clean, and the meals were delicious—I was completely full!

My friend and I stayed for one night. Our check-in ended up being quite late at 8:30 PM, but the staff were very courteous and helpful. The retro furnishings felt wonderfully nostalgic. They also lent us a basket bag and geta sandals—perfect for visiting the public baths in yukata. It was my first time in Kinosaki Onsen, and I’d love to visit again with my friend. Thank you very much.

On the day, we, a couple, and each of our mothers (elderly) used the facility for a total of four people. We arrived after 1 PM but were kindly allowed to leave our luggage and checked in at 2 PM. We went to an outside bath (there are baskets available for visiting outside baths), and for dinner, we bought Tsuiyama crab from a nearby fish shop and enjoyed it in a hot pot. The kitchen was fully equipped with cooking utensils and seasonings, allowing us to cook without any inconvenience. Of course, both the Room and toilet were very clean. All four of us left very satisfied with our stay.

The place had a warm and homely atmosphere, perfect for a relaxing stay. As we had heard from reviews, the meals were made with local ingredients, offering a variety of dishes that were delicious and highly satisfying. The location was also excellent, with a public Onsen just nearby.
