Hotel berhampiran Hiyoshi Shrine, Toyooka

The hotel is a classic onsen experience with the interior design and set up being very nostalgic and interesting. The hotel provides free pick up from the train station and umbrellas if it rains. The onsen bath is not the best, it is on the small side, but kept clean. Though this is typical for onsen hotels in busier onsen towns compared with onsen hotels which are more remote. The dinner is the highlight of the place with many kilograms of snow crab served in so many different ways in our room. All of which was prepared in a way so that it was really easy to eat. We were lucky to have a lovely staff member who knew both English and Chinese.

流石に老舗は違う😜大手旅行社を無視‼️千年の湯古まん 1000年続くと傲慢になるのかねえ【笑えん】 老舗だろうが、名門と呼べるのか？ 1000年続く企業は大したものだと思うが、シカトする 事はないだろう🤔🤔🤔 城崎温泉の開祖、日生下一族は地元の名士なんだろう【爆】 古まんは奈良時代の養老元年創業らしいが、 城崎温泉宿の多くが一子相伝、家族経営で社員を増やし 事業拡大をしないことが、温泉組合の不文律となっているらしいが、失礼ながら笑わせるよなあ😜🤷‍♂️ 黙って居ようと思ったが、大手旅行社の面子の為に書き込みを‼️ オイラはゴミ客扱いで良いけど、大手旅行社の幹部と国内担当者、某カード会社からも連絡入ってるはずなのに、此処の常務、完全にシカトした【爆X3】 恐るべし日生下(ひうけ)一族‼️ と言うか、失礼ながら『井の中の蛙』か？田舎の大将？ 長瀬のに兄ちゃんは、常務の事を知ってるのかねえ？ 大手旅行社から常務にまで連絡しましたって報告来たから、失礼にならない様にお土産まで持参したが、挨拶にも来なきゃ、何の連絡も無し。 老舗は良い根性している👻 持参したお土産持ち帰った🤦🏻‍♂️😰 大手旅行社も、これが海外のホテルなら、来年のパンフレットから外すなんてプレッシャーかけるんだろうけど、コロナですっかり元気がなくなって来たから、 地方の旅館ひとつ締め付けるのも大変なんだろうな😜 それにしても日生下常務、天下の『J』をシカト＆スルーするなんて、いやあ素晴らしい根性の持ち主だべ🤧 1300年続く無神経さは見習いたい‼️

The hotel has a wonderful vibe. The location is great, the service is lovely, and the dinner was yummy. The extra little gift was a really nice surprise that made the stay memorable. I really liked the free drinks and snacks on the 3rd floor - it was a super chill spot. I'll be telling my friends about this place, and I can't wait to come back with my family. I'm super appreciative of the fantastic experience.

The hotel was very welcoming And a good location but a slightly away from downtown. Easy walk the roads were great. We had two rooms one western style. The other Japanese both are comfortable. Or stay included dinner. They were also very accommodating to some apologies and preferences. Definitely will stay again. The town is wonderful and well worth going to be onsens

Extremely friendly people and great service. I left something in my room and checked out , they drove a scooter to find me and gave that back to me.

After studying Japanese for the last year, I was really excited to visit Japan and our travel agency had wanted us to try an Onsen, however, despite doing our best to respect the culture and locals, the front staff made it clear they didn’t care for foreigners before we even had a chance to make an impression. The checkout staff ended up being much nicer, but we were so uncomfortable here, we checked out as early as we could. Even when getting breakfast in the lines, we were both shoved by locals staying here. We never had this experience other places, especially when it’s a line that naturally moves. This was our last night of a 10 day trip, and it left a pretty awful feeling behind for us. We wouldn’t recommend this location. In general, if you like foods like raw crab meat, you’ll enjoy the kaiseki meal. We found out it wasn’t something we loved, however, this is a preference and wasn’t reflected in the review. The accommodation is a bit older, but okay.

外観は古びていましたが、内装は綺麗にしてありました。 お風呂は日によって男性用と女性用が替わるようになっています。 夜入った時は早い時間で人も少なく、ゆっくり入れました。露天風呂は外気が入るだけで外の景色は全く見えません。朝違う方のお風呂に入りましたが、露天風呂は修理中でした。 お風呂をすごく重視する方には微妙かもしれません。外湯めぐりもできるので、それで温泉を堪能できたら良いかも？しれません。 部屋の眺めは川と反対側だったので、建物の裏側が見えただけですが、4人部屋が一階洋室2階和室と2人ずつに分かれていて、ゆっくり出来ました。 夕食朝食はビュッフェで、種類がかなり多くて良かったです。 満室だったという事で、料理も次々に追加されて、食べたいものが食べられないという事はなかったです。 デザートはソフトクリームもあり、子供も喜んでいました。 城崎温泉に泊まると決めてから、小さな旅館と悩んでいましたが、結局こちらにしてコスパは良かったかなと思います。

When I mapped out our November-December 2023 trip to Japan last June, I chose west of Kansai region and the northwest along the Sea of Japan where Kansai Wide Area 5-day Pass and Sanyo/San’in Area 7-day Pass would cover. When I came across Kinosaki on the map, I thought this would be the first place to begin our journey of “off the beaten path” (this was my 10th trip to Japan, my desire to travel off the beaten path was obvious.) Since Kinosaki is an onsen town, it makes sense to choose a traditional ryokan with on-site onsen. I found Onishiya Suishoen’s official website very helpful. The photos are genuinely impressive. It has all I was looking for: daily 10-course Kaiseki dinner with premium choices of Matsuba crabs, Tajima beef and local delicacies, along with traditional Japanese breakfast, can be served in-room or in a private dining room; indoor/outdoor onsen; a quiet guest room for two, with private garden views; free shuttle from the JR Kinosaki station; an entertainment lounge; a public sitting lounge with views of scenic Japanese garden; away from the busy tourist center. A free day-stamped pass to use in town’s seven historical public onsens, valid per day from 14:00 to 15:00 the following day; a daily shuttle offers to and from main area of Kinosaki town, from 16:00 to 22:00. These are extra bonus offers to the guests. The guest car parking is available. We arrived at the Kinosaki JR Station on a rainy day. After exiting the station I found the sign of hotels free shuttle across the street just as I was informed at the time of booking. A local coordinator was waiting outside the station and started taking names of the arriving guests. I gave her our hotel’s name and after about 10-15 min waiting we boarded a van and headed to the local hotels. Interestedly, most of the guests in the van are foreigners like we, all got off the last stop. Upon checked in we were told to leave our luggage at the front lobby area. We then followed the hostess to the public lounge waiting for an assigned staff to accompany us to the room and to get familiar with what they have to offer during the stays. When I booked this ryokan I asked for a quiet room and surely our room is at the end of the first floor hallway. During our two-night stay we had a personal hostess named Chiba. She catered our needs for the entire stay, served two meals a days, prepared beddings and replenished in-room services for us. On the second night she noticed we were trying to stack several cushions over the leg-less chairs to improve the posture comforts. She asked if we would prefer regular chairs and a raised table. When we said yes, she quickly popped up the table legs and brought us two chairs. We were so pleased with her attention to details. She did her best in English, explained our daily meal options and introduced each serving plate and sources of the ingredients. She was a very good hostess for us. On the first night we had seafood Kaiseki dinner with premium selec

The staff were helpful and friendly, although the do not speak much English. The cleanliness of room was good except that the cupboard doors and walls are quite stained and old. The shuttle service was very good with nice drivers. Facilities and amenities were very exclusive and good. So was the breakfast! Wish we had more time to explore their facilities. Overall a wonderful experience
