Kinosaki Onsen Kawaguchiya Honkan

I had a room on the side of the building with a balcony overlooking the canal. The room was a modern ryokan design which I loved. The staff was very attentive to my needs. The room was very good value for money probably because of the time of year as Kinosaki can be quite pricey.

The indoor woman bath was a little basic but still very nice. Sadly, there’s only 5 out of 7 public onsens currently in function in Kinosaki.

Very charming old building, my room was the perfect mix of modern and traditional. The staff were amazing and so helpful. Amazing ryokan experience in a beautiful location.

The staff was really helpful and cheerful. They helped with the luggage and explained how to wear a yukata. The room had everything we needed and the private onsen was a delight.

Nothing!

This ryokan was our first overnight stop as we landed at Osaka airport, and Im so happy it was. The place is really charming, easy to reach from the train station, and well-located in the main street where all other onsen establishments are located, making it easy to enjoy an all-onsen evening. The traditional Japanese room (ryokan) was comfy, had everything needed, along with a nice tea service. A small but cosy onsen downstairs much helped in the morning before departure. Staff was always attentive, offering high level of hospitality and great advice. I only wish I had more time to enjoy their food offer.
