A free shuttle from Kinosaki station delivers guests to Kawaguchiya, a competition-winning classic ryokan where staff greet, show and explain everything — yukata issued, a guest quest that can earn breakfast, valet parking for drivers, and course-by-course dish introductions at dinner. Baths stay clean, the shuttle loops the outer onsen, breakfasts are plentiful and uniquely presented, and the omotenashi is called fantastic.
