Hotel Wakamizu

Hotel Wakamizu was exactly what we needed in our Japan honeymoon! A 30 min train ride from Osaka this little town was the perfect get away. The hotel had all the amenities we could need and then some. The staff was more than kind and patient with us since we don’t speak a lot of Japanese and were very accommodating to us. We last minute asked if we could schedule a massage in the same day and they sent a masseuse to our hotel room that worked wonders on our achey body! We booked the deluxe suite that had the private onsen patio and it had the most fabulous view, softest robes and great toiletries that the hotel provided us. They really made our stay luxurious and relaxing. We cannot thank them enough for their hospitality and kindness, this stay will be remembered for ever.

We received by far the best hospitality we have ever experienced at a hotel, and the room and meals were outstanding as well. We stayed in a “Studio with Spa Bath” room, and the in-room tub overlooking the river (with a window that opened) was just as decadent and relaxing as we had hoped. The staff were extremely nice and made us feel so welcome and cared for. Our breakfasts were also delightful introductions to Japanese breakfast cuisine—so beautiful and tasty. Thank you so much to the Hotel Wakamizu team!

Wakamizu Hotel is my favourite place to stay in Takarazuka. It is perfectly located between the station and the Grand Theatre and has very comfortable rooms and a most friendly and helpful staff, always ready to help me out with any request. The Japanese rooms are very spacious and offer river views and a traditional Japanese atmosphere, with delicious food; the Western-style rooms are smaller but equally comfortable and a great value for money.

I am happy to find this deal. Whereas most of Onsen Ryokan only has twin and family rooms, this hotel has a few single rooms, which allows a solo traveller to enjoy proper Onsen at a reasonable price. The hotel is just a few minutes walk from Takarazuka station.

Great breakfast
