Best Ryokan in Japan
Reviewed By ArdentEpilogueI love staying in ryokan when I travel to Japan, and Morizuya is my favorite one of all time. 10/10 experience, hands down. They have great private family onsen on premises, they're well located within an amazing onsen town, the owner is super amazingly friendly and helpful (and if he's reading this, I hope he knows we remember him and his mother very warmly) and the owner speaks excellent English. The meals were gigantic and well-made, as is common at ryokan, and you eat in a separate private room set up just for you and your family, which is a touch I really like. For a couple bucks, they set you up with an onsen pass which you can use to go onsen hopping around town. Kinosaki Onsen is a great town, a bit on the small and out of the way side, which is how I like it. Our room had a nice view over nature, and the dining room we ate in looked out at the mountain behind the establishment. If you're thinking about going to a ryokan, this is the place to go.
2. Tocen Goshoboh
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 167 reviews
Goshoboh was founded 800 years ago and is the oldest inn in the spa town of Arima, an exceptional spot with astonishing brick-coloured waters. «Gosho», which means «imperial palace», is an echo of the long, feudal era when the establishment was reserved for the nobility. It has maintained its renown and high quality. The region's excellent Kobe beef is also served here.
Onsen Seeping with Tradition
Reviewed By Thomas606We decided to book this onsen hotel based the rating given. The Hotel is located right next to the Arima bus terminal. We can access the arima onsen region either from Kyoto or from Osaka via Hankyu express bus. Once you step into the hotel, you step into history. The hotel does not have a lift, and access to your room is by stairs. All our luggage were sent out to our respective rooms by them. You need to take off your shoes before entering the hotel. Slippers would be provided for you. You would realise that time has stopped at its hotel doorstep. As we were there during weekends, there were street performances across the street. We booked a room with garden view. Both rooms share a nice garden. The onsen for the sexes is divided by a low wall. The onsen is refreshing and intimate. It has a boutique feel to the hotel. Both our breakfast were a fine dining experience with produces from neighbouring areas. This also applied to our dinner on the second night. Most cafes in the arima onsen are closed by 5 pm. Having a late dinner is quite difficult if we are travelling with oldies and teenagers. We may need to patronise the 7-11 for a quick bites. Lunch is not an issue.
3. Kobe Luminous Hotel Sannomiya
Overall Ratings
3.5 based on 28 reviews
Rather new hotel. Large twin room. Good amenities. Nearby shopping street.
Reviewed By mingzyHotel is about 10 min walk from Sannomiya Seishin Yamate station easy connection to Shinkansen station at shin-Kobe. There’s an underpass that links to the shopping street. Very convenient especially in the cold winter. About 15 min walk from the port liner. Not the nearest hotel but for the price, room size and quality, it’s value for money. 5 min walking distance to Daimaru department store. Lots of food and shopping nearby. The twin room is large even has a sitting area for 2. New hotel environment with comfy beds but only 1 pillow. Double sides- one hard one soft. The toilet has a large bath tub and modern toilet. The hotel lobby also has a selection of bath salts for you to enjoy soaking in your bath tub after a long day. Free water bottles for drinks too. Only downside of amenities is the toothbrush is sooo hard! They should select a soft type. Room cleaning is efficient and removed all trash. Good hotel to choose when visiting Kobe. Walking distance to many attractions like Meriken park, even Kitano foreign district around 15-20min. Lifts are too small though. Can only carry about 4-5 people with luggage each time. So prepare to leave early or you will wait a long time for lift at peak hour.
4. Kinosaki Onsen Nishimuraya Honkan
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 360 reviews
Nishimuraya Honkan is a traditional Japanese ryokan, located in the famouse hot spring town of Kinosaki Onsen, near Kyoto/Osaka. Our ryokan has 160 years of history and was selected as "best onsen ryokan" in Japan by Lonely Planet and is also listed in the Michelin Guide.
Our third stay, and there will be a fourth (and fifth)
Reviewed By KI-NRTLast year (after our second stay) we decided that Nishimuraya Honkan would become an annual pilgrimage as part of our plan to enjoy Matsuba Snow Crabs at least once a year. Even with Japan's nationwide food ingredients distribution network being supremely efficient, there is no substitute for enjoying seafood close to its source. And in the case of the fresh crabs caught from Tsuiyama Port (and specifically delivered to Nishimuraya Honkan), you can definitely taste the difference. Not only that, but the chefs have refined their craft in a way that brings out the best of the crabs, via immaculate preparation and umami-inducing flavorings. This time, we elected to stay in their top room, called "Horai No Ma (蓬莱の間)," which is located in the second floor of the Hiratakan Annex building (平田館), which is connected to the main area via an indoor pathway (albeit a long and winding one. It features a separate sleeping and living area as well as an open-air bath. Compared to "Kiri No Ma," the room we stayed in last year, it was a bit more spacious but not dramatically so. Horai No Ma is a bit newer and feels slightly more modern than the rooms in the main building, but not so much as to take away from the traditional Japanese nature of the ryokan itself. Even with cost not being a consideration, however, I would prefer to stay in Kiri No Ma. It's on the first floor, has a commanding view of the gorgeous inner garden and is less of a walk to the main lobby and the communal Onsen bath area. And the open-air (non-Onsen) bath at Horai No Ma also has an open-air shower to go along with it, which can be considered a minus if the weather is unbearably cold - you don't have a choice. For this reason, I always prefer indoor showers and outdoor baths, but that's not the case here. Overall, rooms at Nishimuraya Honka are not the reason to stay there; it is not on the same level as some of the nicer luxury ryokans in Japan (like Hakone Ginyu, Asaba or Takefue.) Speaking of baths - as mentioned in one of my previous reviews, the in-room baths at Nishimuraya Honkan are not of the Onsen (natural hot springs) variety, which further defeats the purpose of the bath in our Horai No Ma room. This is not, however, the fault of the ryokan itself... this appears to be a "rule" at Kinosaki Onsen that all Onsen baths need to be communal in nature (there are two of them at the ryokan itself). Therefore, if you're an Onsen freak but are uncomfortable with the idea of being in the buff around others, then you're best advised to forgo the privilege or visit the communal Onsen baths at off-peak times. The real reason to stay here are threefold: 1) Absolutely top-notch food, especially the Matsuba Snow Crab course; 2) To have your meals be served in the comfort of your room (that you're staying in; and 3) to experience the authenticity, serenity and beauty of a ryokan that's been in existence for over 150 years. The kaiseki crab course dinner here really is a cut above. We've had Matsuba Crab at many top restaurants and ryokans throughout the region, and I can emphatically claim that Nishimuraya Honkan is - by far - the best at this craft, and I'm not sure why. You might think that Crab sashimi, steamed crab, grilled crab and crab hot pot is not rocket science, but in reality there's a huge difference between Nishimurya Honkan and every place else. In most establishments, by the halfway point of the meal we are completely crabbed-out, with Mrs. KI-NRT begging for a stop to the crab proceedings. Not here. We enjoyed every offering to the very last bite, including the finale - a spectacular "Zosui" rice porridge made from crab broth. I'm on a low (or no) carb diet, but I couldn't resist having a second helping of the porridge. Yes, it's that wonderful! The other advantage is the ability to enjoy your meals in your room. Not in a different (private room), but the room that you're actually staying in. This is in stark contrast to the majority of even the top ryokans in Japan, where you're forced to walk to a different room, or - worse yet - need to experience the food at a restaurant. The problem is, it's a 2.5 hour experience, so it's really nice to not have to worry about your manners in front of others. You can kick up your feet, turn on the TV, basically do whatever you'd like.. it's just more flexible and comfortable that way. While Nishimuraya Honkan is not a sprawling property with massive grounds, it's a charming place that features traditional Japanese architecture, decor, furnishings and gardens, and all without it feeling decrepit. Upon first arrival, after taking off your shoes and putting on the ryokan-supplied slippers, you'll be greeted with a spectacular view of the perfectly manicured garden and pond. And when walking the narrow hallways inside, you will feel like going through a time machine back to the country's Meiji Era. At the same time, you won't have to forgo the creature comforts that modern luxury travelers expect in a luxury property. It's a tricky balancing act that they manage to deftly achieve. We already have a confirmed booking for next year's crab season. Can't wait!

Superb stay
Reviewed By tammytt00I had booked a room with private onsen, and it was fabulous. Room was big and clean. Service was impeccable. The public onsens were actually fantastic too, so you don't actually need to opt for the private one, as you could also book the onsen for private use. Food was delicious. Location was superb, right in the middle of town. I would love to visit again.

A Good Japanese Experience!
Reviewed By kar89We stayed in this Riokan just one night but i think it is enough to experience the japanese most known accomodation. The staff is friendly but their english is very very poor and this makes interactions very hard. At your arrival they give you kimonos so that you can fully dive into their culture and you can also go arould kinosaki dressed that way. The dinner is amazig, with all the tipical japanese dishes served in the very best way. Breakfast is very tipical as well, meaning that there is no sweet choice :(

comfort for short getaway vacation
Reviewed By EkaterinaJapanSpent 3 nights in the private cottage on the New Year vacation. Overall it was very good experience (though we hoped it would snow) and the prices were very reasonable. You can use onsen hot spring at the hotel with 50% discount, which is only 400 yen (4usd), but you'll have to walk down the hill for about 100 meters, but it didn't bother us. Kitchen is stuffed with all sort of dishes, cutlery and cooking appliances, but there's a huge lack of spoons (big and little ones) and normal sized mugs, you'll have to drink from tiny little elf-sized cups. And the cottage looked like it wasn't cleaned for a while - dust on the shelves, the tissue became black after I wiped the counter, and we found 2 wallets with money of the previous guests and old TV remote control. And I wish there was a bidet seat in the toilet, cause it was freezing inside the restroom and bathroom. Living space was fine cause there was also a gas heater. In general, it's a great place to spend some time with your family!

The real Ryokan experience
Reviewed By ElisabethmhStayed at the Tsukimotoya Ryokan one night after a few days in Tokyo and Osaka. It felt like travelling to a whole new different world! As soon as we stepped out of the train we entered a sweet and calm little town where you could feel the lack of busyness and hear the birds singing. The Tsukimotoya Ryokan offers the real Ryokan excperience where the rooms are large and spacious with tatami flooring and traditional Japaneese decoration and furniture. Separate wc and sink and a fridge. When entering a Ryokan for the first time you take your shoes off and slip into traditional "slippers" available for all guests for indoor use. When accompanied to your room you then change into your traditional Yukata available for your stay. A Yukata is like a cotton coat similar to a Kimono and very comfortable. In Kinosaki Onsen you wear your Yukata during your entire stay and you will see other guests, at all Ryokans, will also wear their Yukatas walking the streets to/from public Onsens. I highly reccomend to have all your meals at the Ryokan while visiting a Ryokan for the real experience. It is almost impossible to describe the dinner and breakfast we had but let me just say it was the most amazing food experience I have ever had. It is just so fresh, of high quality, very traditional and very autentic. The service at the Tsukimotoya is simply just perfect. We felt like royalties during our whole stay. Kinosaki Onsen is a small town where you can walk around in the streets - everything in walking distance. I can highly reccomend a night or two in this amazing little town, especially in combination with a city-stay so you can feel and see "both sides of Japan". We had a magic experience that I will never forget. When you are staying at a Ryokan in Kinosaki Onsen you get a free pass to all the 7 Onsens in town. At some Onsens it is also possible to pre-book a private Onsen. Get on the train and visit this charming little town, I guarantee you won`t regret!

Big disappointment
Reviewed By danielyongMy review will come across as a complaint but hear me out before booking. First of all, I like the modern exterior and interior look of it - heard it has been renovated a few years back. That would be 1 star. I like the service I received during dinner. So personalized. However I also paid quite substantial for a 1N stay (about 54000yen) so there is a certain expectation of service. However, the room is poorly designed for cold weather. It has poor insulation. The heater was of no use as I could feel the cold numbness on my face when I was trying to sleep. In addition, because it was so cold, I walked down to the front desk at 1130 pm and realized there is no one there. There is only a cleaner left and a restaurant chef in the onsen. I tried to ask for a portable heater but all I got was mattress. He said there wasn't any portable heater. However, when I left the hotel the next day, I walked past several portable heaters placed along its bridge. My suggestion is they should install insulation doors like those traditional ryokans. In addition, have at least 1 hotel staff (not cleaner or chef) to man the front desk. Third, please have some buttons for guests to adjust the temperature of the heater - but this may be a fire hazard though. I will definitely avoid the hotel and I suggest you should too unless the hotel staff feedback that they have done the above points. I must say I had a bad sleepless night because it was so cold and I felt so cheated paying that amount to stay in a cold room. I also peeked into other rooms and sadly, they all have similar configurations - lack of insulations. I wonder if I am the only one experiencing this.
