Umegashima Onsen Holidays

Gorgeous place, friendly staff, clean onsen. Although it is probably better as a romantic getaway, they were very accommodating for my 3-year-old.

Kishinobo was a wonderful stay at a Temple inn. The staff and hosts were all so nice and helpful as we navigated our way in this new area. The food was amazing and so pleasant.I thank everyone who made our stay warm and welcoming.

This is a classic Japanese hot springs property with excellent hot springs water. You will get the full “ryokan” experience: Japanese tatami mat rooms, futons to sleep on, yukata to wear in and out of the bath, and even traditional wooden sandals to wear outside of the hotel. I loved the classic little touches - sweets and hot tea plus wet towels to greet us, hand written greetings from the hotel “kamisan” (owner) on our car each morning. The negatives were: WiFi extremely slow and accessible only in the lobby, limited and very creative English signage, and per person vs. per room charges making it a little expensive for families.
