Morizuya

Honestly, the public bath in this ryokan is better than some of the 7 famous onsens in town. We were welcomed with a tea ceremony by the owner’s mother, which was very wonderful. The stuffs were all really helpful. The room is spacious and decorated beautifully. The futon is comfortable and clean. I would like to thank the owner, especially, for going around taking pictures for us and drove us to the train station on our check-out day. I will recommend this place to everyone for sure!

Staying here was, by far, the best place I stayed during my 5 week japan trip. It’s so authentic to Japanese traditional culture! And the breakfast and dinners are incredible, multi course feasts. It’s also located right in the middle of all the onsens. If I ever come back to kinosaki, I am definitely staying here again. Highly recommend!

We had a fantastic experience here, we stayed 2 nights, and it was a really relaxing stay. There was a fabulous welcome tea ceremony, we had a tea ceremony "lesson" earlier in our trip, so we were delighted to see this tradition being practiced as part of real life, by the proprietors mother. I was very excited to get to wear a kimono around town, and was given the choice of a huge selection to borrow. My husband even embraced the yukata outfit for travelling between the many onsen (Normally he would not, but everyone is out and about in them in this picturesque town, so it helps you to fit in!) We used the two onsens within the ryokan also, they were well maintained and very relaxing, one a rockery outdoors, the other an atmospheric cave setting. There is the chance for private bathing time in the afternoon. All the staff were fantastic, very friendly and approachable. The proprietors were fantastic at making us feel welcome, and they made the outfit wearing very special, taking photos in beautiful settings around the ryokan and the town. They recommended some fantastic places to eat. The proprietor told us that his family has been living in the same house for 8 generations. The sense of family was very clear when they went above and beyond to help us, when we heard we needed to return home immediately due to serious sickness of family member. They helped us to get in touch with the airline and allowed us to make the necessary prolonged phone calls to change our flights, without their help this would have been a real nightmare, so we are really grateful for their help. I would not hesitate in recommending this as a place to stay!
