I really enjoyed my stay at Sennennoyu Koman, the atmosphere was classic and nostalgic, and the location was convenient for exploring Kinosaki. The onsen experience was enjoyable, although the hot spring baths were a bit small compared to other ryokans I've visited. The highlight was definitely the kaiseki dinner featuring snow crab, which was not only plentiful but expertly prepared. Just a note, I wish there had been a more convenient dining option since some local restaurants closed early.

The staff was friendly and accommodating, although the onsen bath was a bit small. The kaiseki dinner was a highlight, offering a good variety of dishes. However, I wished there had been an option for dinner in the room, as many local restaurants closed early.

My stay at Sennennoyu Koman was an authentic onsen experience, offering a nostalgic atmosphere combined with excellent service. The highlight, without a doubt, was the kaiseki dinner featuring snow crab in various delicious preparations.

The onsen facilities were typical for a busy town—clean but on the small side. I didn't use them much since I opted to try other nearby onsen, which were easily accessible.
