토키토키 기노사키 온센

Nicely renovated. But small.

Our stay at Tokitotoki Kinosaki Onsen was absolutely wonderful. The ryokan is beautiful, with stunning attention to detail throughout the rooms and furnishings. From the moment we arrived, the staff were warm, attentive, and incredibly helpful, making us feel welcome and cared for. The private spa was wonderfully relaxing and the perfect way to ease into the onsen experience after travelling. Looking out over the river at night was especially beautiful and added to the peaceful atmosphere. We loved the thoughtful touches, including the Japanese teas and aromatic oils provided in the room. The food was exceptional—fresh sushi, delicious crab, and perfectly prepared steamed vegetables. The team even arranged a Western breakfast for us on our second morning, which was such a kind and appreciated gesture. Wearing the yukata and wandering through the streets of Kinosaki in the evening after dinner was one of the highlights of our trip. Everything about our stay felt calm, authentic, and restorative. Honestly, we couldn’t have asked for more. This was one of the most relaxing experiences we’ve ever had, and we’re already planning our return visit. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a peaceful and memorable stay in Kinosaki Onsen. ❤️

The service staff here are excellent. The hotel has a traditional modern style and is very comfortable. Highly recommended.

It's been over a month since we stayed at this establishment, and my parents are still talking about their experience there! It made a great impression, from the decor of the hotel and lovely staff, to the room itself. From our understanding, the hotel donates part of its earnings to a charity in Myanmar. Most of the hotel staff seem to be from Myanmar, too. We were very well fed throughout our stay as they provided delicious snacks and drinks before and after dinner. The dinner itself was a whole experience; while the food wasn't mind-blowing by any means, everything was meticulously presented and the vegetables and seafood tasted fresh. There was also a variety of drinks available, from various teas to alcohol like fruit liquors, beer, and wine. The highlight of dinner was, of course, the snow crab. However, we found that the Beef Hitsumabushi was not to our liking as we prefer beef that is more tender, as opposed to firm and chewy. Having said that, by the time it was served, we were full from everything else! As part of the Kinosaki experience, all guests get a lanyard with an "onsen pass" that can be used to enter the different onsens around town. After dinner, we visited 4 of the onsens as most places were within walking distance, and we wanted to walk off dinner. When we returned, we hopped into the private bath in the hotel for a final soak and shower before heading to bed. For guests who might be too shy to use the public baths, this is a great option too! Thank you for the warm hospitality and wonderful experience!

Excellent food and staff. Onsen Pass for the local Onsen inlcuded (from 15:00 arrival day, till 13:00 on the day you leave), all within a 1 to 10min walk. Also 2 Onsen available at the place itself.
