[2025 Nakanojo Stay] Travel Guide for Shima Onsen Kashiwaya Ryokan (Updated May)

#celebratewithtrip Kaiseki, or Kaiseki-ryori 懐石, is a traditional style of dining in Japan where a multi-course meal is prepared of fresh seasonal ingredients. Much like the high dining experience in the west, the number of courses can vary from a handful to more than 10. The kaiseki dinner course has been a highlight. The set was some of the best meals of my life. Definitely worth it.

#celebratewithtrip We had an amazing stay at Kashiwaya Ryokan! The three private onsen baths were stunning. Staff were very welcoming. We would definitely stay again! The food, service, and onsen are all of an extremely high quality, but what makes them truly exceptional are the flexibility of the private onsen (you do not need to book specific times). Highly recommended for the stay! #japantrip #couplestrip

#celebratewithtrip Kashiwaya is a 3 Michelin Star restaurants tucked away in the north side of Osaka. The restaurant has 7 private dining rooms. Although the meal was served in a private room we were never neglected when it comes to service. Food is delicate and delicious, and always prepared and presented in an enjoyable way. The staff are friendly and attentive.
