Host was wonderful, and provided lots of information. We got to choose a different yukata for each day we were in Kinosaki, and we received separate yukatas for staying indoors for the night. As we are westerners, the host showed us how to properly wear them rather than leaving us to figure it out. We also received passes for the onsens for each day of our visit. The bathroom was luxurious, and many items were provided in case you forgot something - toothbrush, hair tie, razor, etc. The room was very cool and quiet.

Our stay at Terakawa’s beautiful ryokan in Kinosakionsen has been the highlight of our first trip to Japan. Everything about it is gorgeous, comfortable and a little bit of luxury! It is a one-room property so we felt very looked after. Our host Terakawa kindly fitted us with stunning yukata of our choosing upon arrival, to wear to the onsens each day. (Entry price to all six onsens in the town is included.) The beds are super comfortable, the bathroom with private onsen bath is gorgeous, and the location of the property (1 minute walk to Kinosakionsen Station) is right in the heart of everything in the town. The town itself is absolutely beautiful and we loved our stay there. Highly recommended!

Location 1 minute from train station. Easy to find, look at pic of shop front online. Host communicates via email prior to arrival. Rooms beautiful, Yakuta provided plus passes for onsens. Not a single complaint, the host is incredibly helpful. 👌

This was probably my favorite stay of our vacation! The owner was incredibly friendly and the space was beautiful and relaxing. I would highly recommend this to anyone going to Kinosaki and is lucky enough to find the booking available!

Wasn't sure about the entry through the fish restaurant but our host was there to give us a warm welcome and all went smoothly.

This was an excellent choice. The full experience. From a friendly welcome, being fitted with yukata to a traditional spacious apartment. Staying here is a great experience.

You must enter through the restaurant entrance at the main street. An English name for the accommodation would help for orientation, especially for foreigners

A Wonderful Stay in Kinosaki Onsen We had a fantastic time at this accommodation! The room was very clean, beautifully maintained, and had a charming traditional Japanese style—just what we were looking for. What really stood out was the warm hospitality: the host gave us a friendly and helpful introduction upon arrival, making us feel welcome right away. The location is excellent—peaceful, yet just a short walk from the public onsen, restaurants, and the train station. It was the perfect place to relax and enjoy the unique atmosphere of Kinosaki Onsen. Highly recommended for anyone looking for an authentic, spotless, and well-located place with a personal touch. We’d love to come back someday!

Absolutely nothing! It was perfect!!!

We (a couple) stayed here for our honeymoon and couldn't have asked for a better experience. The host was incredibly friendly, helpful, and made us feel truly welcome. Our Japanese was not so great so he was more than happy to communicate with us via Booking.com and Google Translate. Our host even provided us to choose (from many options!!!) a yukata to wear around town and demonstrated the correct way to wear as it was our first time. The location was perfect-extremely close to the train station and Main Street, yet was peaceful and quiet. The traditional style room was BEAUTIFUL and the included amenities exceeded our expectations. A truly magical and memorable stay!

Beautiful, gorgeous, luxurious apartment on the main street in Kinosaki. The owner was very helpful and showered us with amenities. The bathroom in this apartment is like a five star resort hotel. If you want to stay in a Ryokan, this is not for you, but if you want a luxurious, quiet and comfortable experience. Stay here is if it available.

nothing, just a perfect stay

fantastic stay, WOW! If you are looking for THE Japanese hospitality experience, look no further, THIS is the place! To find the spot was a little difficult, as is a fish shop, but the locals were super nice and when I've asked for directions (the fish shop next door), they kindly took me to the right place. The staff has limited English, but Google translate helped and everything was fantastic. From the kind check in: -dried my luggage (was pouring rain that day), and they brought it upstairs for me -I got to choose my yucatas for each day, they have many beautiful choices to look you best -information about the town, places to eat, explore -passes for all town onsens included with your stay -rain boots and umbrellas given, as was pouring rain, this was such a cherry on top! The room is GORGEOUS, and huge, had so much space! The bath is like a spa experience, with the window looking outside, just magical. the beds super comfortable, some of my best sleeps I had in Japan; you can make you own hot drinks in the room, robes to lounge in your room, individual private entry, just beautiful! Check out easy, they offer to take me photos holding a crab, so funny. I had my luggage delivered to Hiroshima, an extra cost, great service to travel light in between places. I wish I did the stay with meals included, beautiful place, I would be back some day!

So so so nice. Host super sweet and helpful. We got beautiful Yucatan's that we could have during the trip. Bathtub was great - crab dinner was great. Also loved the projector.

Everything was perfect, the room was beautiful and the host was exceptionally friendly and accommodating. The location is convenient, and the onsen pass and yukata hire was included, making it a very easy and comfortable stay. The big hot bath was a nice extra touch. Thank you so much! :)
