Tsukimotoya Ryokan

We booked two rooms from here! Foods are really amazing, enjoyable stay

Our stay at Tsukimotoya Ryokan was so lovely. The staff was extremely kind and welcoming. The dinner and breakfast was remarkable and very delicious. The ryokan is nestled in a quiet street but very conveniently located to many of the town’s onsen. The room was comfortable and spacious. Everything was kindly set out for us to enjoy the onsen and they provided yukata to stroll around town. My husband and I really enjoyed our visit, would recommend Tsukimotoya Ryokan to anyone looking for a relaxing trip.

A very down to earth, comfortable, and amazing ryokan with exceedingly kind and helpful staff who want to help you have the best time. We managed to do all 7 onsen over 2 nights and on the last morning they looked after our bags and lent us towels to do one last round. This isn’t the most flash ryokan like you see in rich influencers videos, but if you want an authentic stay that’s a comfy place to call home for a couple nights with great food and staff, this is a guaranteed winner.

We stayed here for a night and it was a real magical experience. My partner and I wanted an authentic ryokan experience for our trip in Japan and read about Kinosaki Onsen town on reddit. So glad to have found this cosy and quaint ryokan! It's pretty easy to navigate the area around this ryokan (they give you a map to all the onsens and the ryokan's location is pretty convenient and really close to the main river). The room we got was pretty big for the 2 of us - with a wardrobe, hangers, sink, bathroom (with no showers since you'd be onsen-hopping most of the time there), vanity area and futons to sleep on! When we arrived they had prepared green tea for us and presented us with origami umbrellas as gifts! We were also given an all-access pass to the 7 public onsens in the town and yukatas that we could wear when we go onsen-hopping. We also arranged for a Kanizukushi (Crab Kaiseki) course for dinner which was an amazing feast with fresh seafood and snow crabs. If you're looking for a wholly authentic Japanese experience, I highly recommend this place. It's even better in winter - We came at a perfect time - it snowed heavily overnight and we woke up to a winter wonderland. (Just prepare yourself as you may get snowed in and expect some delays with train lines if you want to come here in winter!)

We were warmly welcomed into this traditional ryokan where were were shown to our room and served tea. Towels, bags and Onsen passes were provided with explanations of where the Onsens were and how to properly use them. Dinner was an amazing spread of a traditional seafood kaiseki meal. Breakfast was a way out of our Canadian norm as it was a lot of fish rice and egg but are always up for new experiences. Overall we were very pleased with our experience and would definitely visit again.

Very accommodating hosts. In a very nice location.

Great experience at Kinosaki with onsen pass included. Lots of variety for dinner and breakfast. Staff was very courteous
