Facing the central shopping street of the Kinosaki Onsen hot spring area, Morizuya offers authentic Japanese-style accommodation, hot spring baths and Japanese dining. Guests can wear colourful yukata robes at the property. Free Wi-Fi is available throughout. ○ Wow. Probably the nicest ryokan I’ve ever stayed at in Japan. ○ Room was incredibly spacious. Lots of space for walking around, different areas to sit. ○ Futon were very plush and comfortable. ○ The onsen in the ryokan were both amazing, but especially the cave one. Its nice that at night, they are private (no reservations, just need to check until they are open) and then separated by gender in the morning. ○ Breakfast and dinner were both delicious. ○ The chance to wear kimono, especially since you get to pick out the kimono, obi, and jacket. They also have hair clips. Also, the chance to have a tea ceremony after check in. Both these experiences were awesome. ○ On top of the rental yukata, geta, tabi socks, towels, and bag for the onsen, we were also given thick winter jackets to go over the yukata to keep us warm. It made walking around at night during winter much more enjoyable. ○ Also the free onsen pass! One of the many perks of staying at a ryokan. You can use it from check in until 1PM the day of checkout. ○ The owner was so incredibly kind, offering to take photos of us. We ended up walking around for more than half an hour to his favorite spots and getting some amazing shots. ○ Free parking is a bit removed, but that isn’t a big deal since the town is so small. They allowed us to park there from the morning of our stay and drop off our bags so we didn’t need to carry them across town. By the time we came for check in, our bags were in the room already.

Only a 3-minute walk from JR Himeji Station, Dormy Inn Himeji Natural Hot Spring offers modern rooms with free WiFi is provided throughout the property. Guests can relax in the public hot-spring baths or request massages for an extra cost. I really loved staying at this hotel. The onsen was such a nice way to relax after a long day of exploring Himeji. The room is consistent in size with most hotels in Japan and had a good layout. I especially loved the free ramen and ice cream in the evenings. Incredible value. Great location (very close walk to Himeji shinkansen station)
