Hotels near Shizuka Shrine

"A lovely place, amazing Japanese breakfast served in the room, beautiful yukatas. English speaking staff, very helpful and kind. Strongly recommend."

"The property was unique and lovely. The staff were really helpful and explained everything clearly to us. The room itself was a traditional Japanese experience. We did pay for a private onsen for an hour but the only downside was that the bubbles didn't work in the jacuzzi but other than that it was great"

"The Japanese style room was phenomenal. The private onsen was wonderful and a great deal too. The staff was exceptionally helpful and friendly, and very energetic too. We have travelled overseas a lot over the last two decades, and this was probably the best hotel we’ve ever stayed at."

"Thank you to the staff for creating a beautiful experience. The team was diligent, kind, and empathetic to our needs. Guest services provided excellent assistance with understanding Japanese etiquette and local traditions. Our host spoke English, as well as many other languages! We were so impressed with the effort everyone put in to make our stay and honeymoon special. We will never forget this trip. Arrived to Kinosaki by train, sent our luggage ahead, and it was waiting in our room upon entry. Guest services welcomed us and explained the customs and rules of the ryokan. We were taken to our room, where our host showed us how to dress in yukata, booked our meals for our stay, and answered all our questions. It was a lovely chat that left us with enthusiasm. Later on, our hosts came back with a gift to share their well wishes for our honeymoon. We were so touched by their hospitality. The room was stunning. The floors were very comfortable to sit on, and the view of the water garden left us feeling very relaxed. The treats inside the room were very yummy as well! We were also fully stocked with beverages, which were refilled daily. The onsens were truly magical, leaving us feeling rejuvenated. Breakfast was incredible! If we were to ever return to Kinosaki, we would happily stay at Onishiya Suishoen again. "

"Great staff. Very helpful. Small room "

"I couldn’t have asked for a better staff. They were so nice and patient with my travel group of ten. They took in our luggage early and had them in our rooms at check-in time. They provided a bus to Kinosaki throughout the day. Kadue was spectacular and her English was good. The views were amazing throughout the entire stay! Views of the water from the moment you walk in, with a viewing area on every single floor, and in the rooms the views were spectacular. The rooms and bathroom areas were really clean and spacious. Snacks and a tea set was provided. The artwork throughout the property was beautiful and serine, and the layout of the property itself was gorgeous. The food was delicious! 1) The Walrus Cafe is a mix of pizza, pastas and Japanese food at decent prices. There are a plethora of games to choose from. They also have free coffee. We ate there twice in our two night stay. 2) Breakfast buffet was delicious and with a lot of variety 3) Ramen/ Japanese restaurant was good too! We had appetizers here and the food was fresh and yummy 4) You need reservations for Japanese dinner; we didn’t have one The onsen was amazing!!! Clean, offered quality supplies needed, and had outside and inside options. It was my first onsen experience and I am grateful I started here. My family wanted massages and our staff helped book them and for a reasonable cost too. The masseuse went to the rooms, which was very convenient. They also have massage chairs on the first floor at no cost."

"The rooms are spacious and have a pretty view of the river though do not opt for the cot if you cannot get a triple Buffet is generous but does not change so recommend not prebooking food if staying more than one night. For breakfast and dinner it’s decent but to gets repetitious. Walkable to town but not central. Does have limited shuttle service. "

"The staff was very accommodating. There aren't any restaurants around, so including meals with your reservation is highly recommended. "

"Rooms are a bit dated but super clean and well maintained. Staff was awesome, and the breakfast was one of the best I've had at any hotel in Japan. Location is fairly remote, but extremely peaceful, and there are free shuttle busses into Toyooka. Onsen was pretty good and clean. If you are looking for a relaxed time away from the typical tourist bustle, I can highly recommend this hotel. Most guests were elderly and extremely friendly, and it was completely silent at night."
