Independent Shinonsen hotels

"Amazing room sizes, incredible staff, and amenities "

"Staff was very accomodating! There was an English speaking staff member that sat down with us and explained everything we needed to know from how to wear the Yukata to using the 7 public onsens. The room itself was quite spacious and very tidy. We tried both of the private onsens on the premise, they were both clean and very relaxing to sit in! Check-in and check-out was easy, there were plenty of amenities on the premise, and they allowed early baggage drop off. Can't recommend enough :)"

"Everything we needed, delicious food, very relaxing onsen and convenient passes to onsens in town. We had a delightful time. "

"The room, the staff, the private onsen, and the Kaiseki dinner were all amazing. The staff welcomed us in from the cold, took care of our bags, set us up with our own boots for the snow, and taught us how to tie up our yukata’s within minutes of arriving. It was an immersive experience that felt like a home away from home, and will forever be our favourite experience in Japan."

"This hotel opened in December 2024, so it's new and clean. Buffet breakfast is free and you can eat it there or take it to your room in a bento-box. Also, there is a coffee machine near the reception, which is free and available 24/7. "

"The staff and amenities were top notch. We had a wonderful Kaiseki meal that will be a fond family memory for years to come. Thank you for such a memorable experience! "

"A reasonably priced ryokan in Kinosaki Onsen, which is tattoo tolerant. Very good breakfasts and dinner in traditional ryokan style. Very accommodating staff. Nice additions to their onsen area are sauna and outdoor cold plunge, not often found in Onsen. A bit of a hike from town but convenient free shuttle service. "

"Smart hotel; it has everything one needs including rubber bands! Very comfortable stay, will try other APA hotels in future. "

"Near Tottori station and department store. The room was clean and comfortable. The staff was polite and hospitable."
