Kinosaki Maruyamagawa Onsen Ginka

We stayed here for our honeymoon.The staff who guided us at check-in and the person in charge of dinner kept the perfect distance, yet provided sincere, pleasant service, so we were able to relax and truly enjoy our stay.We splurged on the Tajima beef kaiseki.There were no vacancies for a second-floor Room, so we were a little worried about dining in the restaurant, but it turned out to be a completely private room and felt very special.We were happy that the menu had our new last name and the date on it, so we took it home as a keepsake.*Sound carries easily, so when the guests next door spoke loudly at times, their conversation drowned ours out (lol).More than satisfied.We felt like we could barely move from how full we were.We had been looking forward to the late-night soba, but there was no room left.In fact, we went back to our Room and fell asleep right away.Such a shame.Both dinner and breakfast offered choices of dishes, which also made everything feel special—we really appreciated that.I couldn’t finish all of the rice at breakfast and wished I could have turned it into onigiri…It had been a long time since I slept on a futon mattress set-up, so I was nervous, but there was a mattress underneath—it felt just like a bed.And the amenities were Sekkisei…The women’s large public bath even had an assortment of shampoos to choose from—there was ReFa shampoo as well.I usually bring my own because I worry whether provided products will suit my skin or hair, but this time I didn’t need any skincare at all… which almost made me regret bringing anything.It was an amazing Accommodation that left us with “good regrets.”Next time—on an anniversary or another special occasion—we’d love to upgrade and enjoy an even higher-grade Room.Thank you again.

The Room, meals, and Onsen were all excellent. It was our first time in a while getting together as a family, and we had the best holiday.
