Family hotels and homes in Toyooka

Staying at Morizuya was one of the highlights of our trip to Japan. This cozy, family-run ryokan radiates warmth and hospitality. Manager Hachisuka and his family do everything they can to make you feel at home, and our stay truly exceeded expectations. The ryokan is charming and traditional. We stayed in a spacious, comfortable tatami room with beautiful décor and a view of a peaceful garden. The room included a private toilet and sink, while bathing is done in their private onsen (yes, private — no need to bathe with others if that makes you uncomfortable). Morizuya provides yukata for men and women, sandals, bags, towels, and an onsen pass for the town’s seven public baths. Women can also choose a kimono for going out around town and shopping, while men can (and should!) relax in their yukata for this same purpose. I especially want to highlight how Manager Hachisuka truly went above and beyond. He’s not only an excellent photographer — taking beautiful photos of my fiancée and me among the cherry blossoms and guiding us to great photo spots — but also incredibly kind and attentive. He personally helped us with our schedule and drove us to the station early in the morning to ensure we caught our train on time. That level of care is something we’ll never forget. If you’re unsure where to stay, I strongly recommend Morizuya. We left with beautiful and unforgettable memories of this warm and authentic experience in Kinosaki. A few quick tips about the bath: There are two onsen inside the inn. From 7 AM to 3 PM, they’re public (men/women separated). From 3 PM to 11 PM they become private — no reservation needed. If the door’s unlocked, it’s available. Go in, lock the door behind you and enjoy. You’re welcome to bathe with your family or partner. Be sure to shower and clean yourself before entering the bath. Walking around town in your yukata(or kimono) is part of the charm, so don’t be shy — it’s all part of the experience.

The owners are so warm and welcoming! And they have te cutest cat. The bed was really comfortable, with heating (AC) and a warmwaterbottle.

I have no words to fully describe the amazing experience I had. From the check-in till the checkout all the employees where amazing into all aspects, letting everything prepared beforehand for the check-in, with the room selected, clear instructions about the facilities, the tour in the hotel and showing how to use the installation, the welcome hand made message with Origamis in the room, the amazing hotel Onsen (which for me was even better than the ones around the city), kimono selection and the support to understand how to use that, the delicious food that the waiter had an special attention and patience to tech me how to eat king crab... It was more than a stay as I said it was a full experience that I will sure experience again in the future :) thanks to all the team for the dedication, sympathy and care that you provided into all the steps of this experience:)

Staff​ very good, Onsen very​ good, Meal very​ goood😋😋😋😋

There was a spectacular view from our room across the river, the onsen has an inside and outside onsen. The volume of food served in our room was impressive as was the range in the buffet for breakfast. You have a free pass to all of the public onsen and they are all diverse so try them all! The town itself is pretty with the river though the middle

I booked a day trip because I wanted to experience the suite with a private onsen! I booked a traditional Japanese room and I was blown away! My accommodation had dinner and breakfast included and I would highly recommend it! The dinner was absolutely amazing with an incredible service! I had dinner in my room and I was explained each dish! I have never tasted such rich flavours and everything was extremely fresh! The crab was the star but towards the end, I had no idea what my favourite dish was, so I would just say all! The chef is spectacular! For breakfast there was a lot of choice! From Western cuisine to Japanese and you were free to choose whatever you wanted! The private onsen in the suite was amazing and all staff was extremely helpful and kind! They have free shuttle buses to Kinosaki but the hotel is also fully stocked with anything you might need! I’m so happy I went with the suite and with this hotel in particular! My only regret is only booking one night and not staying longer! I can’t wait to come back and make new memories!

Great location, friendly and attentive staff and excellent meals. A wonderful stay.

Fantastic service and facilities!

Old school style, good dinner buffet

For our first trip to Japan we loved the clean quiet location of the hotel and the staff were amazing in helping us navigate the new surroundings. The staff were always friendly and helpful.
