Access & Practicalities

🚗About 5 minutes by car from Mikkabi IC, near Oku-Hamanako Onsen
🏯An easy base for Hamamatsu sightseeing, including Hamamatsu Castle
🪜Please note there is no elevator, so some stairs are involved

Kappo-ryokan Kinsui sits where the ripples of Lake Hamana meet the moonlight. In the very rooms where Meiji-era writers once put pen to paper, seasonal kaiseki from the head chef and a lakeview bath give back the gentleness the city forgets.
