Very beautiful temple, excellent temple style vegetarian dinner and breakfast. The meditation in the evening and the ceremony in the morning have been impressive.

The best service I've ever received at a hotel! Luck You is a modern Ryokan and everything feels very new and super clean. The room was small but still spacious and the bathroom was great (which included a big shower/bathtub room)! The staff was super helpful and lovely. They prepared free drinks and snacks every afternoon. The breakfast was also great and very fresh and included a variety of Japanese and Western foods. An amazing bonus was the free entry to the Sento across the road - we were even provided with pyjamas and little baskets with body soap, shampoo etc. The onsen is tattoo-friendly as well! :)

The staff was extremely friendly, the hotel's location is amazing. We were a 10 min walk away from historical sites, temples, and the city center. The hotel itself is an amazing traditional place. 10/10 would recommend, and already planning to stay here the next time!

I loved everything from the warm pick up at the station, to walking in town with Yukata, the beautiful meals, and traditional accommodation. A great place to stay while visiting Kinosaki and the public bath houses.

The greeting we got on arrival was nothing but friendly. The lady who runs it doesn’t speak English, but understands little bits (we used Google translate for longer sentences). She’s such a lovely lady and very welcoming, showed us around the Ryokan and the facilities. The shower room is amazing with its hot bath! We loved staying in a traditional Japanese room with tatami flooring and the comfy futon beds, and the views from our window of the city was gorgeous! Definitely want to make a return visit and stay for longer :)

Super welcome from the staff, including a detailed introduction to the ryokan and how to conduct yourself (delivered in a professional and welcoming manner). Amazing ryokan and relaxing onsen. Highly recommend. Serene surroundings of the beautiful garden and pond. Truly idyllic. Thoughtfully tailored vegan kaiseki for my partner. Taste didn’t 100% hit the mark (see below sole negative comment), but we couldn’t fault the effort that had gone into the meal. Great breakfast. Unique experience (breakfast in a yukata).

Amazing experience at all levels, the lodging was perfect, I was expecting something basic but it was rather similar to a ryokan, big rooms with confortable futons, traditional Japanese furnitures, yukata, complimentary tea in the room, good and very diversified meals, commun and private sento with a big bath tub. Highly spiritual moments on the fire ceremony and the morning prayer, moreover we had a free tour of more than an hour to learn a lot on oesoteric buddhism and the ancient history of the place.

It a beautiful temple, it is very well kept. The room was very spacious and comfortable, all in tatami floor, tastefully decorated, very clean and well maintained, with aircon available and even a TV. I loved that there was a complimentary tea, a yukata and a toothbrush. The temple has a bath (onsen) available and a morning prayer ceremony.

The hotel was a classic ryokan style with tatami mats, futon service, public bath (which could be booked privately) and traditional breakfasts every morning. The view of the pagoda from the room is spectacular. Our stay was made special by the lovely staff who made our stay perfect!

Really comfortable room - we loved the tatami flooring and futons, and the layout was great with the separated window room looking out over the river. Comfiest pillows of the whole holiday (we stayed in 5 hotels over 3 weeks). The location was ideal, though maybe not great if you have children with you. The onsen was fabulous - I am quite heavily tattooed and they had no problem with it all, so it was the only onsen I had the opportunity to use during my holiday.

Simply stunning. Lovely to stay in a ryokan, a traditional Japanese inn. Our lady was exceptional, giving first class treatment in talking us through many dishes she served, constantly topping our water, cleaning our teapot. V filling so be warned and you get to try things you wouldn’t get these days or in chain hotels. The onsen was a relief from the long journey. The futons v comfy. It was so unique to switch off, enjoy tranquility.
