Romantic Hotels in Toyooka

Lovely Onsen. Stunning food. Very helpful and friendly staff. A perfect stay.

We fell in love with the town of Kinosaki, the perfect relaxing spot after Tokyo and Kyoto. We stayed in June and it was still nice to get up early and use the onsen or at night (days were a bit warm). The hotel was so lovely and they were super helpful. You get a pass to visit all the onsen as well as your traditional yukata (like a kimono) and the wooden clogs. They also had an onsen onsite (split into men and women’s) as well as a private onsen you could use - 2,200 yen for 45 mins - we enjoyed this.

I really enjoyed my visit to Takeno, a quiet, traditional fishing village. The guest house was simple but really lovely, and spotlessly clean, and Keisuke made sure I had everything I needed. The sashimi set for dinner was the best I have had in Japan - fish fresh straight off the dock. It was also really relaxing to hang out downstairs in his bookshop bar. All round a great experience.

Firstly, the host was super friendly and has a keen eye for photography. All our photos turned out beautifully. From giving us the umbrella to providing us with the Yukata to wear and take photo. The Onsen was lovely and we were able to experience it privately which is a bonus. The dinner and the breakfast was delicious. So much variety and everything was done so pretty. I love the room as there was a gorgeous green garden outside which was very relaxing. The host also had his mum provide us with a matcha tea ceremony and it wasn't bitter.

The room was good. The staff are very lovely and try really hard to explain things despite limited English. One of the private baths is very modern and truly a wonderful place to relax. The location is very central and a close walking distance to absolutely everything.

The food was amazing, the room was incredible, the staff were incredibly kind and attentive, making our stay feel special, particularly on our honeymoon. The area and the baths were amazingly relaxing too. It's hands down been the best place we stayed throughout our 3 weeks touring Japan.
