I think it will be remembered as the most memorable place during my trip to Japan. Every part of the small town was beautiful, and the people in the town were very kind and kind, so I left for the next place with only good memories.Yuraku Restaurant was being renovated, so we ate in a separate room, and I was very satisfied with all the meals.

There were many young employees,All the customers were providing warm customer service. The food is served in the morning and evening, and the seasoning is gentle, and I often cannot finish the entire meal.I ate everything.I was able to take a luxurious bath in the hot springs, both indoor and outdoor, which was relaxing.

If you're looking for an incredibly warm, welcoming onsen town experience in Japan, look no further than Kinosaki and the wonderful Yuraku ryokan. This place blew away all my expectations in the best way possible.From the moment we arrived, the staff at Yuraku went above and beyond to make us feel at home. The hospitality was truly unmatched - no request was too much as they bent over backwards to ensure our every comfort and need was met during our stay. The personal touches left us feeling so appreciated, like when the server who brought our kaiseki dinner course in our room wrote us a heartfelt note saying how glad she was to have met us and that she enjoyed chatting.The ryokan itself is a beautifully preserved heritage building, but the real showcase is the amazing onsen baths. Yuraku has both private and public style onsen that were immaculately maintained. As someone with tattoos, I was touched by their welcoming policy that is still very rare in Japan.But what really sets Kinosaki apart is how the whole town has united to promote itself as an onsen haven for all. Visitors with tattoos who are usually shunned from public baths in other parts of Japan onsen towns can freely enjoy soaking at the different onsen facilities here. You can tangibly feel the local spirit of openness.Strolling the willow-lined streets in our yukata robes, popping into the unique local shops, and visiting the different baths made for such a rejuvenating, quintessential onsen town experience. Yet it's Kinosaki's concerted effort to be inclusive that truly warmed my heart.The gestures of hospitality were deepfelt until the very end - when we checked out, the entire front desk staff came outside to bid us a personal farewell, staying in sight and waving until we walked beyond the ryokan's front gates. It was such a touching moment.I highly highly recommend Yuraku ryokan and Kinosaki enough for families, couples or solo travelers looking to immerse themselves in centuries of tradition without judgment. This place is pure onsening bliss.

I came to Kinosaki Onsen Yuraku. This is a long-established inn that has been completely renovated, and the rooms and bathrooms were clean and tasteful. The road before reaching the main building is narrow, so if you have a large vehicle, we recommend parking at the foot of the mountain. In any case, the hospitality of the staff who served customers was high, and it was a heartwarming time. The room itself was not large, but it was nice to be able to enjoy a homely atmosphere.Private baths can be reserved by reservation, so it's a real pleasure to bathe in a bath with a different theme.
