I LOVED EVERY SINGLE SECOND SPENT HERE! The two ladies that manage the guesthouse are sooo sweet and helpful! They even upgraded our room for free, helped us with our luggage, with advice, everything! The room is so beautiful and traditional and we each got a yukata and a litlle basket with things needed for the onsens. Everything is extremely clean, there is also a view to the little garden in front of the accomodation, all in all, 11/10, would come back in a second if given the chance!

Nothing.

The two hosts make the guesthouse really feel like home. Very nice Ryokan (style) guesthouse, would definitely recommend when going to kinosaki.

I love the tatami room & appreciate that they provided a yukata, towel, geta & the Onsen map. The guesthouse is not far from train station, convenience shop, cafe & restaurant. Staffs are friendly & very helpful.

All good!

A beautiful and very peaceful traditional home. Every care is taken to ensure you are comfortable. The garden is special and such a wonderful experience with a lovely host.

Nothing really. It was great! It would've been nice to get my towel and Yakuta earlier than the 3pm check-in, but that wouldn't be expected.

Great location walking distance from all the onsen (hot springs). I loved the experience of a traditional Japanese-style Ryokan at a fraction of the price of the other Ryokans in town. It felt like stepping back in time.

I loved wearing yukata, wish i could keep it for couple of hours more after check-out :)

Great budget traditional stay in Kinosaki. Everything is very clean. Had a great sleep there on a futon bed. The vibe is retro and mysterious, which i loved. Onsen outfits are provided free of charge.

No breakfast included, but for the price it's reasonable.

Female part of family stayed here and got a free upgrade since they were three. Exceptionally nice tatami room. Piece for one night really worth it.

Very friendly staff, great location and beautiful accommodation. A wonderful traditional stay, moments from onsens, cafes and restaurants.

Literally nothing! Just a few things to know in advance: The provided Yukata are standardly sized for Asia, which means they are by no means plus-size friendly - if you want to wear one, you should bring your own, even though it's not necessary to enter the Onsens or anything. Also bring your own towel to dry off after bathing, there is just a small thin towel provided by the Guesthouse which is sized like a hair towel and will not be large enough to dry your body.

This was such a nice, traditional guesthouse! The two owners were so welcoming and kind, in addition to giving us Yukatas, appropriate shoes and bags to wear for our onsen stays, they even helped us with putting them on when we asked and were just lovely all around. The guesthouse is located in a quiet side alley next to one of the main roads of Kinosaki, so it is easily accessible. The Futons were a bit hard, but I think that is to be expected for people who are not used to sleeping on them. Nonetheless it was an amazing experience we would not wanna miss on our Japan trip and I'm sure we would stay there again should the opportunity arise. Arigato-gozaimasu!

Wonderful traditional stay in kinosaki for affordable price. Beds are traditional futon on tatami mats. Yukata is provided, though towels and onsen pass are not.

The guesthouse was absolutely gorgeous and traditionally Japanese, which I loved. The lady working there was very kind and welcoming, and the house was clean and accommodating. A very good location, near the restaurants and onsens. Would stay again!

It was a great time to stay there. The owners were very friendly and humble. If you’re traveling solo and want to save money, definitely consider this inn.

Very cute and completely Japanese dorm in the heart of Kinosaki. Excellent price and fantastic for solo female travelers. I would go again and recommend!

One minor thing was a frying pan in poor condition. I didn’t plan to cook, but am celiac and had nothing to eat, so had to cook. Managed to cook smth like ramen in a pot.

This was such a cozy space. I never felt as comfortable as I did here, not even in the fancy townhouse in Kyoto. I hope to come back sometime in the future.

Shared toilets, but honestly, very manageable.

Location is in the hub of onsens, cafes and souvenir shops. Very clean and organized. Loved the extra touch of the giant snowman ⛄️

Everything was perfect.

The host’s hospitality was amazing! The hotel is small but absolutely charming, everything you would expect from a traditional japanese guest house. Very near the onsens and Station.

The only thing I will say is, the hallways and bathrooms get a little cold in the winter. My room itself was lovely and warm.

This place is so beautiful and quaint. It is a perfect little traditional Japanese guesthouse and such a lovely stay for my two nights in Kinosaki. The staff is so kind and helpful. This is a great option for female travellers who want a traditional place to stay, without the price of a ryokan.
