Fujieda Naritasan

Very friendly staff. I caught them in the middle of renovations of a couple of floors but they were consensus of work hours. 10 minute walk from jr rail station.

Staff were incredibly attentive and nice. Even with the language barrier they went above and beyond using Google Translate to explain the courses of our dinners and breakfasts, as well as information about the town. The hotel was slightly out of town (15mins walk) but they have a shuttle that was basically on demand. We wanted to go into town for the night and they dropped and picked us up at our desired time. The property is also tucked at the base of a mountain which made for a beautiful location. Overall a relaxing stay and a highlight of my 3 week trip around Japan.

First time in kinosaki and this place checked every box. Extremely clean and extremely great staff. The meals were excellent as well. It’s a small resort with only a small amount of rooms but our room had a river side window that was wonderful in the morning. For anyone worried about noise the whole town is very quiet so it’s not an issue at all. The resort has 2 private onsens and what’s really nice is lights throughout the hotel show if it’s opened or not so you don’t have to go all the way down to check. Also incase it’s not clear the resort does include access to the towns wonderful public onsens. At night and throughout the day the lounge is open for guests and includes open access to an open selection of snacks and liquor including: sake, wine, and beer. 10/10 wonderful resort wonderful staff Dinner: excellent.if you don’t order anything extra or special: Start off by picking whatever items you want steamed (big selection of veggies, sea food, pork belly, oyster, etc.) they also allowed one half serving of the famous crab per person. Then they serve you a large beautiful sashimi platter. Then they bring you the main course. For us it was the tajima beef with rice and a couple other ways to enjoy it as well. Drinks were open for whatever you wanted and however much you wanted. If there was any negative it would be no shower in our room which dinner matter because the 2 onsens had a shower+ soaps and it was nice to get ready down stairs and soak after.
