About This Hotel
Steam rises from stone-lined alleyways as the hush of Kinosaki Onsen settles in—at Nishimuraya Honkan, heritage and hospitality flow as seamlessly as the town’s seven thermal hot springs.
In the heart of Kinosaki Onsen—a town with over 1,300 years of hot springs traditions—Nishimuraya Honkan stands as a 165-year-old ryokan renowned for its sukiya-style architecture and deep cultural roots. The charming town of Kinosaki Onsen - favored by historical literary figures such as Shiga Naoya - embodies the spirit of Japanese hospitality, offering guests a tranquil retreat.
Guest rooms at Nishimuraya Honkan showcase traditional Japanese design, featuring tatami mat floors, sliding shoji doors and wooden terraces, some overlook meticulously maintained gardens. These spaces are thoughtfully crafted to reflect the changing seasons, allowing guests to immerse themselves in the natural beauty of Kinosaki Onsen.
The culinary artisans of Nishimuraya have been serving Japanese-style kaiseki (course) dinners for over 165 years. Kinosaki is famous for its mouth-watering Matsuba crab (winter only) and savory Tajima beef, the origin of the world-famous Kobe beef. There is nothing more relaxing than enjoying dish after dish of wonderfully delicious Japanese food after an evening at the hot springs.
Here, guests can enjoy three distinct hot spring baths: Japanese-style, Chinese-style, and a bath located in the Hiratakan Annex. These baths offer a serene environment to unwind and experience the therapeutic benefits of Kinosaki's renowned onsen waters. Guests receive a pass for complimentary use of all public hot springs during their stay. Strolling through the charming streets in a yukata (a light kimono robe) while visiting each bath offers an authentic experience of Kinosaki Onsen's rich tradition.
As evening descends and the town's lanterns cast gentle reflections on the canal, a stay at Nishimuraya Honkan becomes more than just accommodation—it transforms into a journey through Japan's enduring traditions.
