The spirit of hospitality
Accompanying seasonal menus
Throughout the four seasons, you can enjoy seasonal ingredients unique to this land blessed with nature, such as Matsuba crab, Tajima beef, the abundant seafood of the Sea of Japan, wild vegetables, and delicious rice produced in soil that nurtures storks.
While placing importance on "food safety and security," we offer the finest ingredients cooked in the most delicious way possible according to the season. Our hospitality allows you to enjoy different delicacies for each season, spring, summer, fall, and winter.
Please enjoy to your heart's content this special dish that can only be enjoyed in that season. We hope you will enjoy a moment experiencing the harmony between nature and the ingredients.
Luxurious rooms overlooking the Maruyama River and the mountains
We strive to provide the best hospitality possible so that our guests can truly relax. We offer a wide variety of room types, from standard Japanese-style rooms (with shower booths and toilets), to Western-style rooms with twin beds, Japanese-Western rooms, spacious rooms with adjacent rooms, and special rooms with open-air baths. You can choose the room that best suits your group size and purpose.
From the large windows of the guest rooms, you can enjoy the tranquil view of Higashiyama Park, which changes color with the seasons, the mountains surrounding Kinosaki Onsen, and the great mother river, Maruyama River. Enjoy a moment away from your daily routine in a comfortable space, while taking in the beautiful scenery. Our priority is to provide our guests with a comfortable stay.
Enjoy a special moment touring the outdoor baths of Kinosaki Onsen
The appeal of touring the outdoor baths of Kinosaki Onsen lies in its unique culture of treating the entire hot spring town as a single inn. The structure, with the station as the entrance, the shops as the kiosks, the inns as the guest rooms, and the outdoor baths as the large public baths, provides visitors with a sense of unity and exclusivity. In a national ranking, Kinosaki Onsen was ranked number one (1) for "hot spring towns you'd want to stroll around in a yukata." The hot spring town itself creates a special experience.
We offer a digital outdoor bath ticket called "Yumepa" that allows you to comfortably enjoy visiting the outdoor baths. It can be used for outdoor baths and shopping, and you can stroll around without having to carry valuables. First, change into a colorful yukata at the inn and head out in a relaxed mood.
It is most efficient to start touring the outdoor baths from "Ko-no-yu" and go in order. By returning to our inn at the end, you can enjoy the entire hot spring town. Our inn also provides a shuttle bus to the outdoor baths, so you can enjoy your stay with peace of mind. Please enjoy the healing time woven by nature and the 1300 years of history of Kinosaki Onsen to your heart's content.
