Jinya Ryokan

Excellent food, service and lodging. We did the 9+ course meal and had a private hot spring. Deluxe!

My three-night honeymoon stay at Jinya was nothing short of magical. Each morning and evening, we were treated to fine dining that were the most delicious foods I've ever tasted.
The warmth and hospitality of the staff at Jinya were heartwarming. Their attention to detail was remarkable – they remembered and incorporated the little things we mentioned, enhancing our stay immeasurably. Looking for a place to walk around, they lent us bicycles to visit a park that was hard to reach on foot. We really enjoyed it and were even able to see Mount Fuji from a distance.
An unforgettable touch was the celebratory message for our honeymoon delicately written on our dinner plate, a gesture that deeply moved us.
Both the private and public onsens were awesome. I loved walking around their beautiful garden and watching the cute koi fish.
Having high expectations for a Ryokan, Jinya not only met but exceeded them in every way, leaving us profoundly touched. Their efforts to communicate with us, despite language barriers, ensured a seamless and enjoyable experience for international guests.
I wholeheartedly recommend Jinya, deserving of far more than a mere 5-star rating. This is a place that will linger in my heart and memories.
P. S. Discovering that Hayao Miyazaki, the legendary animator, spent part of his childhood here added a layer of enchantment to our stay. Spotting a tree featured in 'My Neighbor Totoro' and seeing Miyazaki's signatures was a delightful bonus to our magical stay.

Today we brought our friends visiting from Vancouver to Jinya for a day trip to have lunch and enjoy Onsen. We have a very nice lunch in the hotel. It’s a very nice dining experience at Jinya. Each dish prepared is a piece of art and the taste was very delicious. Everyone was impressed by the choice of ingredients, method of preparing the dishes and way of presenting the dishes. It’s both visually and gastronomically enjoyable experience to dine at Jinya’s restaurant. We are planning for a stay over time when visiting this place. Highly recommend.

We checked into this lovely onsen resort for relaxation and respite after our long vacation. The facility is and grounds are beautiful. The staff are kind, English speaking and attentive. We intentionally booked a beautiful room with a private onsen with the hopes of relaxing before a long 13 hour flight home. Upon arrival in the room there was a group of toddlers shrieking and screaming for the first three hours. It appears they were having more.
Of a pool party in the onsen just next to us sit. Repeated yelling, blood curdling screams and cannonballs into their onsen. For 900.00 a night we checked in and checked right out as the intent was to rest and relax and it was very clear we would not be able to do so. The children also kept banging on the wall next to our onsen. The staff said they could not reach the family and would not be able to ask them to quiet down.

A simply sublime experience. I stayed solo in the “Susumushi” room with indoor private cypress bath and also enjoyed the outdoor bath (rotemboro) after hours. The room itself was as big as an entire apartment (! ) and would be an amazing experience to share with friends and family. Complimentary fully stocked refrigerator is a very nice touch, and the amenities in the bathing and sleeping rooms were all wonderful. The kaiseki dinner and breakfast were also an incredible treat. The staff are very welcoming, in both Japanese and English. I will be recommending Jinya to friends in search of a transportive onsen ryokan experience that is easy to access from Tokyo, and would love to return with my family one day as well.
