    Excellent location, fabulous food and outstanding service by all staff. As a family of five we really enjoyed the experience and hospitality. Nothing was too much trouble and the small touches like tea on arrival and yakuta being provided was great.

    Kinosaki Onsen is a beautiful little town with fabulous onsens to visit. I loved everything about Kinosaki Yamamatota but being a typical westerner i found the bed a little hard. It is a ryokan and not a hotel so i was expecting it.
