Guest UserWe had an absolutely wonderful stay at this hotel. From the moment we arrived, everything about the check-in experience was smooth and professional.
Special thanks to Hiro, who assisted us during check-in. He was extremely professional, spoke excellent English, and gave us a very clear and thorough explanation about the hotel facilities and our room. His service made us feel very welcome and comfortable right away.
The room was beautiful, clean, and well prepared, and all the facilities were exactly as described. Honestly, everything about this hotel - from the service to the atmosphere - was close to perfect.
This was one of the best hotel check-in experiences we've had. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend this hotel to others.

We had an unforgettable stay at Matsuya in Kinosaki. From start to finish, everything was exceptional. The service was truly some of the best I’ve ever experienced—warm, attentive, and genuinely thoughtful. A special shoutout to Cho, a new team member from Vietnam who is studying Japanese. She was incredibly kind and made our stay even more memorable.
Our room was spotless, beautifully appointed, and offered such a cool and authentic traditional Japanese experience. The kaiseki dinner was incredible—relaxing, beautifully presented, and absolutely delicious. We had an early train and couldn’t stay for breakfast, but based on dinner alone, I’m sure it would have been amazing.
At check-in, we were given yukatas and traditional sandals to wear around town, which made the whole visit even more special. The onsens were wonderfully relaxing, and the town itself was friendly, charming, and exactly what we hoped for.
I highly recommend staying at Matsuya if you want to experience the absolute best of Japanese hospitality, culture, and relaxation. Truly a highlight of our trip. We are a LGBTQ+ traveling couple and felt very welcomed.

Guest UserThe location and views are superb, and the staff provide top-notch service. The breakfast buffet offers excellent quality food, and the hot springs are clean and feature a semi-open-air bath. Overall, this Japanese-style hotel offers extremely high value for money. They even include a hot spring hopping pass for the surrounding public baths, have a wide selection of beautiful kimonos to choose from, and proactively offer shuttle service to and from the JR station. The room views are simply unbeatable. There are countless advantages, I highly recommend it!

Guest UserI had low expectations for this trip and was pleasantly surprised! Firstly, the town itself is so beautiful and cozy, you can take your time and just enjoy it! Secondly, the hotel is top-notch! The service and politeness of the staff are amazing, and the hotel's interior and courtyard are beautiful! The onsen at the hotel is stunningly beautiful, with everything thought out to the smallest detail! The rooms are very authentic, as is everything else, and the breakfast buffet is amazing! The transfer service was also well thought out, and of course, the yukata is simply wonderful and fits every size! I can go on and on about how much I enjoyed it! Thank you!

Date of Stay: January 24-25
Number of Guests/Purpose: 2 people, Sightseeing
Overall Rating: B
Pros:
* The room was clean and looked exactly like the photos.
* Wi-Fi was available.
* Check-in was smooth.
* Rental service for boots and umbrellas was provided.
* Came with tickets for touring Kinosaki Onsen, and the room had a convenient onsen set for taking out.
* There are private baths within the building.
Cons:
* The room felt a bit old.
* At night, hotel staff were loudly arguing outside the annex, which left a bad impression.
Location/Surroundings:
* About a 10-minute walk from the station. It felt a bit of a walk, but being in the center of the onsen town made access to all hot springs excellent.
Host's Service:
* Friendly and good service.
Summary:
Considering the price and location, it was good. However, it's not somewhere I'd definitely want to stay again, but rather I'd be interested in trying other ryokans next time.

The room was large, the bed was very comfortable, and the whole town of Chengqi Onsen was very cozy and pleasant. I loved it. There are many restaurants worth eating at, such as Haizhongyuan, a pub run by a mother and daughter/daughter-in-law, all of which were very good, and the coffee and breakfast sandwiches at No.1 were also very good. We originally booked a two-night stay with two meals. One day before arrival, a guest at the hotel had a minor ****. According to Japanese government regulations, the hotel cannot provide meals for three consecutive days, so we asked the hotel to help us book a kaiseki dinner at another hotel and agreed to accept a refund for the meal. The hotel helped us book the famous Nishimuraya, which was very delicious. The hotel also paid for all the drinks that night as compensation, which can be said to be very sincere.

We stayed at the hotel in October 2024. We took two rooms for two.
Pros:
1. Magnificent rooms in the style of a classic ryokan: everything is very beautiful, authentic, lots of small details, notes and tips for guests, interesting trinkets in the room. We had beds, not futons, but this is not a minus - the beds are very comfortable. The view from the room (3rd floor) is of the mountains. The cleanliness is perfect, the room has everything that should be in a classic ryokan room: from tatami to a low table for relaxing.
2. Incomparable kaiseki dinner. Excellent sukiyaki breakfast (you cook it yourself).
3. The most beautiful interiors of the hotel, it is interesting to walk around it, exploring it from the inside. The hotel is beautiful from the outside too.
4. You can smoke in the rooms (we did not do this, and the rooms are not smoked at all). There is a smoking room at the entrance to the hotel.
5. Wonderful staff. All requests and complaints are satisfied within minutes. They speak English poorly, but it's not a problem, we communicated through a translator. The guys are cool, cheerful. Quick check-in, a bunch of reminders about where and when to come / what and how to do correctly.
6. There is a private onsen (we did not use it).
7. They give a free pass to 7 public onsen. They give discounts on souvenirs.
8. They give excellent yukatas for onsen, for women - they will give beautiful ones, the choice is huge.
Nuances:
1. The only downside of the hotel is the distance from the center of Kinosaki (15-20 minutes walk through not very beautiful places). But! There is a free transfer from the hotel to the city center, plus there is a transfer station-hotel-station. And the walk from the hotel to the center of Kinosaki did not bother us much.
2. This is not a business hotel, so there is no washing machine, iron or shower in the room. The shower (and in fact - onsen) is shared on the minus first floor - separate for men and women.

MrBonUpon arrival, the hotel gave us 2 free tickets for aquarium next to the hotel. Staff were very friendly and helpful with parking valet and our luggage. The room we were in had an amazing view and it is spacious. It’s a Japanese style room and the staff had to come to put out futon for us around dinner time. Communal bath is big with an outdoor onsen. We noticed that they use salt water in the bath and onsen instead of chlorinated water like many other onsen hotel we have stayed in the past. There are 2 restaurants in the hotel but they open rather late at 7 and 8 pm so we didn’t get to try them. Breakfast were the same the whole we stay but they are pretty decent so there is no complaints. I would consider this to be one of the best hotel we have stayed during our trip there.

Guest UserEnjoyed our stay and experiencing our first onsen and kaiseki!
They provided us with yukatas and passes to access the public baths, also had 3 private onsens on site.
Friendly staff, lots of food included in the dinner and breakfast which they serve in your room and set up/pack up your bedding, with option for continental breakfast on our 2nd day instead of japanese style.
Quiet, clean and futon bed was surprisingly comfortable.
It’s about 8min walk from the train station which was fine for us but there’s a bus shuttle option right outside the station, and the hotel also offer bag drop off for a small fee when you leave so you don’t need to carry them.
It’s close to the ropeway that you can ride up for nice views. Also right near the best public onsen in our opinion. (Be sure to check the onsen hours we missed out on one and note 2 are currently closed for renovations).
A few things worth noting - breakfast is served early, you can pick 8 or 8.30am. If you are sensitive to light, it’s not completely dark when sleeping, sun comes through the windows as it has the traditional paper screen style. Also there in not a shower in your room, you need to use the onsen showers (either the private ones on site which you can’t book so can’t guarantee availability but both times we wanted to use them we were able to, or at the public onsens.)
Overall we would recommend staying here to treat yourself to some peaceful rest and relaxation.

The accommodation is right next to the train station, making travel super convenient – I loved it! I really enjoyed that the hotel offered foot baths and provided yukata and toiletries for the onsen. They also let us store our luggage. The room was beautifully Japanese-style! All the amenities in the room were easy to use, and there was a fridge with drinking water, which I really appreciated. However, on that particular day, since I was traveling soon, I had a large suitcase with me. Unfortunately, there was no elevator, so I had to carry my heavy luggage up to the third floor myself. It was incredibly tiring, but fun overall! 💖
