Kyotango Kumihama Bay Hotels

"This was a highlight of my trip to Japan. The Kinosaki Onsen is a jewel and worth the effort to visit. And staying at Sumihei Bettei Tokitotoki was pure joy. The staff could not have been nicer. The location was ideal... and at every turn, there was someone there to help us learn about the town, navigating the spa houses and making sure we had a snack or beverage if we ever needed it. This place is a magical gem and well-worth every penny."

"Staff was very accommodating and the dinner/breakfast was amazing (: "

"Comfort and luxury in one. Loved this stay! Do yourself a favor and book a private onsen every day, and a spa appointment. "

"Excellent staff and service. Room was roomy and comfortable. I left something at the facility and they shipped it for me (I paid the shipping fee). In house bathhouse was wonderful. "

"We had a wonderful stay at our hotel in Kinosaki Onsen! The staff were incredibly nice, polite, and friendly—they spoke English very well, which made everything smooth and comfortable. The food was superb, especially the dinner, which featured a beautifully prepared 9-course meal showcasing local ingredients and flavors. The entire experience felt authentic and relaxing. The surrounding area is peaceful and quiet, a perfect escape from the busy city life. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a serene getaway and exceptional hospitality!"

"Had such a lovely stay. The dinner and breakfast really made the experience. If you're wavering, order them! You won't regret it"

"Love the size is the hotel, not too big, not too small. Food was great and the hotel was clean with very friendly staff! It made for a real relaxing stay."

"Property is centrally located in Kinosaki Onsen’s main street and canal. It is also almost in front of Jizou-Yu, one of Japan the town’s seven public baths. Room I stayed in was modern and recently built or renovated. This ryokan has its own bath. Staff at check in was very nice and helpful. They do let you know that staff after a certain time in the afternoon do not speak English and there is an 11:30 PM curfew - they lock the doors. Breakfast or dinner was not included but room and inn were still of great value. It even has its own private balcony area. I would definitely recommend this property to anyone and would stay again if given the chance. "

"Unfortunately there was only green tea and no coffee in the rooms, however, the chef sells coffee during breakfast for 100 yen which was nice to have. "
