This award marks the 18th consecutive year that the hotel has received the "Rakuten Travel Award" since its first award in 2008. This is an extremely rare achievement in Japan.

What is Rakuten Travel Award?

The "Rakuten Travel Awards" are given to accommodation facilities registered on Rakuten Travel, a travel reservation service operated by Rakuten Group, Inc. In addition to the Gold, Silver, and Bronze Awards, the "Rakuten Travel Japanese Inn Awards" are also presented to lodging facilities in the leisure category, such as resort hotels and Japanese inns.

Accumulated recognition because we are a small-scale inn

Kinmedai no Yado Kokorone is a small-scale inn with a total of six rooms and a capacity of 14 guests. We believe that the fact that we received the award despite the limited number of rooms we can sell is the result of our efforts to meet the needs of each individual guest, which is different from accommodation facilities that sell in large quantities. In addition, the hotel was ranked No. 1 for three consecutive years in the category of city and leisure hotels in the "Ranking of hotels with high word-of-mouth evaluation for meals" (https://prtimes.jp/main/html/rd/p/000000498.000021228.html) among facilities participating in "Rakuten Travel". The hotel has also won first place for three consecutive years in the category of city and leisure hotels in the "Best Reviewed Dining Ranking of Hotels" ().
