Hotels near Onsenji Temple, Toyooka

This was the best place we stayed at by far! The staff were incredibly welcoming, making it a truly unique experience for tourists. They even picked us up from the train station in a shuttle bus and took us directly to the hotel. They provided us with yukata robes and explained everything thoroughly (the staff spoke excellent English). Although you can wear your own clothes, the overall atmosphere really encourages you to change into the yukata and immerse yourself in the Japanese spirit. The room itself was beautiful, decorated in a traditional Japanese style, as were the hallways, which featured small wooden statues and calligraphic scrolls. Soft music played subtly in the corridors, and a pleasant, non-intrusive incense aroma filled the air. It was absolutely delightful! And finally, the food: we opted for both dinner and breakfast, and the spread was incredible! Everything was delicious and beautifully presented, with generous portions – anyone would be satisfied. They even served delicacies like snow crab and premium meats. We definitely hope to come back here again!

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.

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.

1. The location is incredibly convenient for walking in any direction. 2. The service was exceptionally thoughtful and attentive. From check-in in the lobby to entering the room, every detail was meticulously explained. They even gave a brief overview of each corner of the room and arranged our breakfast and dinner times, ensuring our meals were prepared. 3. We stayed for two nights, and to our surprise, both breakfast and dinner meals featured completely different ingredients each day (the food was even more filling than a buffet! 😂). 4. The private outdoor onsen was also very comfortable. The best part was being able to soak as a family, without separation by gender, which really enhanced the cozy feeling! 🫰🏻 5. The ryokan also has its own onsen and a sauna room to enjoy. 6. Overall, everyone in our family unanimously rated it full marks! We're already planning to return when it snows.

It was very convenient as it was adjacent to Kinosaki Marine World. The room felt old, but the view of the ocean from the window was beautiful. The large public bath was also clean and we enjoyed it. However, we were a little disappointed that both the bath towels in the room and those in the large public bath had a slight smell, like they had been dried in the shade. The breakfast selection was extensive and the staff were very friendly, so we enjoyed our two days here. We would like to try a different room next time! Thank you for your hospitality.

We had a fantastic stay at this Ryokan. The staff were so attentive and welcoming (Thanks to our room attendant, Suzan) We arrived a little earlier than check in but we could go up to the room and were provided with tea. The room was beautiful and the beds were prepared when we were eating dinner. We were shown how to wear the yukata and even had welly boots for the rainy weather. The food was the highlight, fresh seasonal ingredients (crab!) which was displayed like a piece of art. I wish we stayed longer, well worth the money!

This riverside hotel offers ample parking. The rooms are very spacious, and the lobby provides complimentary coffee and alcoholic beverages. There are both indoor and outdoor hot springs, with a full range of bathing amenities. The buffet breakfast and dinner offer a wide variety of options, and the dinner, especially the seafood, was of a slightly higher quality, though the breakfast felt a bit perfunctory. Guests can enjoy free access to the Kinosaki public bathhouse, and the hotel provides complimentary baskets, yukata robes, wooden clogs, and umbrellas. The service was warm and attentive; I was very satisfied.

This hotel boasts a prime location on the Takeno coast, offering stunning ocean views. If you have time, you can walk across the river to the coast near Takeno Kyoka Village, where the scenery is equally beautiful yet remarkably uncrowded, allowing you to quietly enjoy the views. It's conveniently located just one JR stop (10 minutes) from Kinosaki Onsen, yet few Chinese tourists venture here. You'll occasionally spot some European and American tourists on the streets, along the beach, or at the hotel. The hotel service is excellent, with a shuttle bus to and from Takeno Station. The hotel also has its own onsen bath, where you can relax and listen to the waves. The hotel's breakfast and dinner are outstanding, especially the all-crab dinner – the incredibly fresh and delicious Kazumi crab is irresistible and incredibly satisfying. I highly recommend staying at the Oku Kinosaki Seaside Hotel when visiting Takeno.

Location was walkable, but just far enough to be an ordeal in the snow. It's close to the Aisly mall for a quick good run and lots of restaurant options along the way. When I tried to check in at the front desk, the older front staff didn't believe that I was at the right hotel and kept doubting me. While he was polite about it, it was irritating after a 3 hr train ride and rough hike through the snowy slush. It appears someone had marked me as already checked in and I had to prove my identity & booking number. While the staff apologized for the mistake, it didn't feel great Points for a great view from my room though
