Trip with my mother

なぎ san Ms. Family 30s
I was able to take a day off from work, so I wanted to relax in an onsen and stayed for one night.
We stayed in the “Ten” room, and the atmosphere of the room was very lovely. The amenities, the inclusive items in the refrigerator, the welcome drinks, and the sweets such as strawberries and cheesecake were all delightful.
It was heavy snow on the day of our stay, making travel difficult, but the view from the open-air onsen was truly beautiful and impressive. We also ordered additional dishes of abalone and spiny lobster, making the meal even more luxurious, and everything was delicious.
The staff were kind and attentive, and we were able to enjoy a luxurious and relaxing time. Thank you very much.

I was brought here for my birthday and was able to spend a special time in a quiet and relaxing atmosphere.
The facilities and rooms are sophisticated yet warm, and being surrounded by nature creates a sense of escape from everyday life.
We were able to focus on our time together without worrying about others and enjoy a relaxing moment away from our busy daily routine.
The staff were polite and attentive, maintaining a comfortable distance without being intrusive, which left a strong impression.
I think this inn is perfect for those who want to spend special moments with a loved one, such as anniversaries or slightly luxurious trips.
We stayed in the top-floor “Ten” room, which offered beautiful views of the mountain ridges.
However, there is little bamboo visible from this floor, so those who wish to see bamboo may prefer staying on the lower floors.

Your kind words about the warmth and sophistication of our facilities, as well as the surrounding natural environment, are greatly appreciated.
We are also pleased that our staff’s attentive yet unobtrusive service contributed to your comfortable stay.
It is wonderful to know you enjoyed the views from the top-floor “Ten” room. Your feedback regarding the bamboo visibility will be valuable for future guests.
We look forward to welcoming you again for another special and memorable stay.

I stayed at a total of 9 different places during my recent trip to Japan & I have to say this was one of my favorites. I booked the Ten room & it was amazing. The best part was the outdoor bath & fire. The food & staff at the on site restaurant were also phenomenal & the staff at the resort were all super friendly. I would definitely stay here again.

Upon arriving at Kinnotake Tonosawa, we were immediately greeted by incredibly friendly and professional staff. They brought us to the room and we were immediately impressed by the size, cleanliness, and details of the room. The onsen was a treat, as was the comfort of the beds. The bathroom and closet size is incredibly generous as well.
The rest of the property was great -- particularly the included beverage area and dinner. I would highly recommend the restaurant for vegetarians. We had stayed at a different ryokan who prepared fairly bland and lackluster vegetarian food. However, Kinnotake Tonosawa's food was creative, full of flavor, and plentiful.
The gym is fairly small and a bit too warm for our personal taste, but that was our only flaw that we found.

As soon as we entered the building, we were greeted by the pleasant scent of incense.
The room was spacious, still new and clean, and the open-air onsen was larger than it appeared in the photos, which was a nice surprise.
The public onsen has been replaced by a swimming pool, which was a bit disappointing, but soaking in our private onsen under the starry night sky made for a wonderful experience.
We appreciated the afternoon tea service, the thoughtful touches like tidying up the room and lighting the firepit during dinner, and even bringing cake to the room. The meals were plentiful and delightful.
Although a TV set was provided, we had such a peaceful stay that we never even turned it on.
Thank you very much.

Recharge in a room surrounded by greenery

This time, I brought my elderly mother and chose Kinnotake mainly because the photos of the rooms on the website raised my expectations. I was looking for a spacious room with few steps and an easy-access bath for my mother, and the room did not disappoint. It was not only spacious but also had low sofas you could lie down on, two long sofas with a table, two beds, and a futon was also provided.
As three women were staying together, we appreciated the large mirrors, the makeup area, and the magnifying mirror for makeup. There were two types of yukata—one for wearing around the facility and one for sleeping—as well as tabi socks. All the drinks in the fridge were complimentary and included in the room rate. Since we don’t drink alcohol, everything was kindly replaced in advance with tea and water.
One disappointment was the low water pressure in the shower, which made washing hair a bit difficult. It also took a long time to fill the indoor onsen for the same reason. In the open-air onsen, insects would fall into the water, so it would have been helpful to have a small net for removing them.
The meals felt thoughtfully prepared with local ingredients—vegetables, fruits, and fish all came from the area. On the club floor, we had spiny lobster (ise-ebi) sashimi for dinner, and miso soup made from the head the next morning, which my mother particularly enjoyed.
Breakfast offered a choice between Japanese and Western styles, and even within Japanese, you could choose between rice or rice porridge, which my mother appreciated. The club floor allows checkout at noon, so we were able to relax until the end. Although it was a high-end stay, the experience was very satisfying.
I recommend it for those who want to spend their time entirely in the room from check-in to check-out. Thank you for everything. I hope to come back again in autumn to enjoy the autumn leaves.

Absolutely amazing experience! From the very moment we stepped in to the moment we left it was an incredible. Very attentive staff, great ambience and friendliness. The room was spot clean and we felt like home. The only shortcoming was that we did not stay longer. We definitely plan to return again. Highly recommended.

This hotel was beyond my expectations. From our first step to our last we felt pampered and welcomed. This ryokan was a fusion of modern and traditional Japanese design. The room was well designed and elegant. The food is a culinary masterpiece and should be ranked among the highest for hotels. We had order the waygu Kobe beef at the restaurant and it was the best I have ever had. The chef did amazing job of preparing and cooking the meal.
