The room was spacious but placement of putting the luggage’s was difficult because of the design of the room. Staff was nice enough to send a message that I had left my phone charger and was kind enough to send it to my next hotel in Osaka, of course with a small fee. The onsen in the hotel was nice that I could use it for myself for 45 min. The pass from the hotel allowed us to use other nearby onsens as well.

Our stay in Kinosaki Onsen was a highlight of our trip to Japan. As a family of five, we found the experience both relaxing and memorable. The traditional tatami room was beautifully maintained and offered an authentic sense of Japanese living, while the service throughout our stay was exceptional.
What truly set it apart was the ability to stroll through the town in traditional attire, visiting the seven different onsens. It created a unique and immersive experience that our children especially enjoyed.
A charming, intimate destination that captures the essence of traditional Japan. Highly recommended.

Wonderful stay! The room was huge and our view was right to the river it was like a fairytale. The breakfast was also super delicious and lots of food. They come in and set the tatami beds for you and break them down as well. Staff were incredible and their onsen were so relaxing. You get a pass for the 7 big town onsen as well as free entry to both of the hotel’s private ones. We would definitely come back again!

This was the perfect place to stay for a first time visit to a Japanese Onsen town. Excellent location on the river within walking distance of all the included spas, many shops and places to eat. Recommendation from a staff member for great food/good value in 2 blocks. We definitely had our favorites eateries and Onsen, but the whole experience was just lovely and Ichidaya made it so. Most staff very pleasant, helpful and patient with our non-existent Japanese. The room in front was spacious, overlooking the river, and had all the amenities we needed to visit the spas in style.

Only negatives were us mobility challenged seniors not getting access to the room before 3 PM after 3 flights in 24 hours. They were insistent on that, though they did keep bags for us until check-in. Also the slick steep wooden stairs were a challenge and we would’ve preferred a first floor room. But we managed taking care to use the railing, move slowly & get help with luggage. No complaints on the room itself -comfy twin beds, big picture windows and a heated toilet seat with bidet. Everything very clean. Didn’t opt for meals there, but they smelled delicious cooking. Lots of restaurants and shops within five minutes and the view from the ancient stone bridges down the river with the weeping willows was just gorgeous.
About the town, easy walking around, 12 minutes to ropeway or train station, all onsens closer but we couldn’t find breakfast before 9am or dinner after 6pm on Saturday. Hmm.

Staff was very accomodating! There was an English speaking staff member that sat down with us and explained everything we needed to know from how to wear the Yukata to using the 7 public onsens. The room itself was quite spacious and very tidy. We tried both of the private onsens on the premise, they were both clean and very relaxing to sit in! Check-in and check-out was easy, there were plenty of amenities on the premise, and they allowed early baggage drop off. Can't recommend enough :)

I went to Kinosaki Onsen for my honeymoon. We also had two other friends traveling with us. I am plus size and was concerned about fitting into a yukata to walk around baths. I told them 2 months in advance and they reassured me there would be something that would fit me. Nothing fit me and that made me so upset. That was one of my big deciders for booking here that they said they were able to. I also told them of my friends food allergies is very specific detail such as her being allergic to eggs, nuts etc.The told me they could accommodate her allergies.They did not accommodate her as served her eggs everyday despite us telling the allergies months in advance and that they could accommodate us. This was not my first stay at a ryokan I have stayed at a ryokan in Kyoto and Ryokan in miyajima. Other ryokan robes we sae in Kinosaki onsen looked bigger than the ones we were accommodated with. I have had other robes at ryokans fit me. These ribes were very worn and old. While the staff was friendly I didnt feel like I was there for my honeymoon. I didnt need anything super special even just a mention. Would have been nice. They tried to put me and my husband in the less nice room and tried to put our friends with the room with the view. I felt like the staff was annoyed by us. I would not recommend this ryokan which makes me sad because I was the most excited about staying here.

We had a wonderful stay at our hotel in Kinosaki Onsen! The staff were incredibly nice, polite, and friendly—they spoke English very well, which made everything smooth and comfortable. The food was superb, especially the dinner, which featured a beautifully prepared 9-course meal showcasing local ingredients and flavors. The entire experience felt authentic and relaxing. The surrounding area is peaceful and quiet, a perfect escape from the busy city life. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a serene getaway and exceptional hospitality!

Their private baths were very nice. It's in a nice location on the edge of the shopping area not far from the train station, with a nice view overlooking the river.

.Kinosaki Onsen, the town, was celebrating it's 1300th year as an onsen town in 2025! The other guests were Japanese, but our host, Odie, spoke perfect English and explained everything very well.
.Our group had 2 rooms. Both rooms were large traditional Japanese rooms (toilet/sink area, but no bath/shower in the room--onsen town!). VERY clean and stylish with a nice view of the main river street. Kotatsu sunken seating area, and a separate dining table area with floor chairs with backs. There were no children at the time of our stay, but families are welcome.
.There are only 8 rooms in Ichidaya Inn. There were some elderly guests (it's a multi-story walk-up with no elevator; pack light, be ready for stairs). Ichidaya has 2 private Onsen which families can use together. We didn't have schedule difficulties with so few rooms using the baths. We stayed for 2 nights/3 days during our 2 weeks in Japan. It was the highlight of our trip! It was in early April, and the cherry blossoms just happened to be in full bloom!
.Ichidaya yukata and jackets are worn inside the Ryokan and throughout the town. Several fancy women's yukata/obi/bows were no additional charge.
. The Ryokan meals were worth every penny. It was far more food than we could eat! Delicious and beautifully presented. Meals were very different our two nights; both fantastic! They accommodated shellfish/pork avoidance. Advance notice required.
Ichidaya is near train tracks, but trains didn't disturb night sleep.

A wonderful property with very lovely staff who were friendly and helpful. The onsens on the property were great.. We appreciated being a touch further from the public onsens because despite the amount of people walking around in the evening, it was still very peaceful. Very comfortable tatami beds and the traditional breakfast is a must if you really want to immerse yourself in the experience.

Spacious rooms and with respectful guests who were quiet, it was a very enjoyable place to stay.

Would recommend staying here and will tell fellow travellers to please respect the traditions of the Ryokan and understand this is a place for a quiet peaceful stay, which we were delighted to be able to enjoy.

Great hotel w/great breakfast

We stayed one night as a quick visit. The hotel is located at the end of the onsen strip. It's a older hotel. Lights are dimmer than the ones in the cities. We like that we get futons and sleep on the floor. Front desk staff speaks limited English, but they try their best to answer our questions. They will use a translator to help us understand if we have questions. They also loan out yukata for us to wear and we can onsen hop to other hotel onsen at no additional charge. We get a tour to our room from the hotel staff. Breakfast was absolutely fantastic, but you will need to reserve to get a spot. A lot of shops closed by 8 pm so book dinner at the hotel if it's available. We didn't stay long enough to enjoy the onsen at other hotels so will definitely return to try other onsens next trip. The shower room was super clean for an older hotel. Looks brand new!

I did not stay in this hotel but booked for my bother and his partner due to the one I stayed at was full. The location is very good as it is 5-10 minutes walk to the train station and on the main street of the hot spring town, close to shopping and the public baths. However, the room rate is not cheap, and if you want dinner and breakfast, you have to pay extra to purchase them.
