Staying at this guesthouse in Kinosaki was an absolute delight! The hosts were incredibly kind and welcoming, making us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. The cleanliness of the entire place was impeccable, and the house itself was simply wonderful. From start to finish, our experience was fantastic, and we can't wait to return!

The service is very friendly, the store sisters are very cute, and the room is very clean. This time I booked a room for two people and didn't stay in a bunkhouse. I was really relieved~ (I didn't understand the pictures very well when I booked). The room is comfortable and spacious. If you want to experience the tatami style, you can stay there. Only those with limited mobility or the elderly should consider it, because the location is on a slope in an alley (about 1-2 minutes), and there are only stairs to go up and down in the hotel. The rest is pretty good, I will come back again if I have the chance!!

The location is very convenient, but the room is on the second floor. Please consider if your luggage is too heavy. You must return to the hotel before 11 pm, and yukata and clogs are provided. The boss is very nice. Speak a little English. There happened to be cherry blossoms when I came here, and it was really comfortable and relaxing to stroll on the road after taking a bath! recommend.Because it is a shared hotel, the person in the next bed will be woken up if he comes back late. I just happened to meet someone who came back very late and didn't take things lightly, otherwise everything was fine.If you don’t know where to choose a hot spring bathing place, you can ask the owner. The one-day pass is a really good deal.

Fantastic lodging option for women that was one of my favorite picks in Japan. The sisters who run the place are very sweet and helpful. There’s an onsen outfit you can use for free (yukata robe, coat, sandals, and bag).I stayed in the dorm and the futon bed was comfier than average. The heat worked well and the toilets were in good shape. The location is also perfect, it’s just off the main street so there’s no noise but it’s close to everything.

The yard and the house are very pretty, and it is a space where you can experience living in a Japanese house!I was worried because I was a single woman, but thanks to the very kind owners who enjoy Daisi skiing in Korea, I stayed comfortably for one night!!Whatever you do, you look cute and pretty🤭 I feel so good when I get compliments! They even rented a yukata, outerwear, a cute bath basket, and even a bathrobe, so I went on a trip to Kinosaki Onsen in a very cost-effective place!!!!! Even the 10 yen massage chair was a unique experience🌟I will definitely come back again next time!!!!!お世話になりました!!おかげさまで素敵な旅行でした!またきます❤️

The ladies who own the house are really lovely and welcoming. The house itself is nice and clean/well maintained, however, there was definitely a roach problem. I'm not sure if it was limited to my room or area of the house but there were cockroaches everywhere in the bathroom (in the sink, on the walls). I actually woke up in the middle of the night itchy as hell. Turned on the light and there was a cockroach on my bed which had clearly bitten me several times given the bug bites I now have on my arm. I didnt have the heart to say it given how lovely the owner was. Because of this I'm giving the place 2 stars. Again, hospitality was amazing but felt uncomfortable most of the night because of the roaches.

First time using a guesthouse. It felt like staying in a Showa era museum. For that reason, it doesn't look old-fashioned, and has been tastefully renovated, especially around the plumbing. I wish there was a TV, but I guess that helped me sleep peacefully.

I had a wonderful and comfortable stay in a private room here. This guesthouse has a cosy atmosphere and is a good value. The location is very convenient for visiting the hot springs around town. They will loan you a yukata, geta (sandals), and bag for visiting the hot springs. You can buy a one-day pass inexpensively (1500 yen as of 2023) at any of the 7 baths and go to as many as you like.The owner I met was very friendly and welcoming. She always smiled brightly when greeting me and gave good tips and information about the area. I would love to come again in the future!

The location is not far from the station, and there are two hot springs nearby. It was inconvenient for multiple people to use the same place, so I used a single room. It was spacious and comfortable as there was a table, chair, and sink in the room. I took the hot spring bath, so I had a separate shower facility at the accommodation. I didn't use it, but the bathroom was very clean. Okami-san who checked me in was very kind.

The initial response was poor. It's like they're making excuses and making excuses, and even though we're the ones who came first, they're dealing with the ones who are coming later first. No apology. I wanted to get rid of my fatigue, so I asked for some healing, but I ended up feeling even more tired.

This is a Japanese-style guesthouse run by sisters. Even though it was a cheap stay on a Saturday, it was clean and the tatami room was spacious and comfortable!The sisters are really kind and full of affection. This is a place I want to come back to during the fall foliage season in November!! I highly recommend it to solo female travelers (*^^*)

I absolutely loved my stay at Kinosaki Onsen. The hosts were the most kindest and sweetest people I have ever met, in over 30 countries I traveled. Their English was limited but I love their genuinely happy personality and willingness to help. The females only hotel is soooo clean and tidy, and they clean it a few times a day! There was enough room for my belongings, the bed was surprisingly comfortable for me. It is such a beautiful guest house and there is also a common room. I would highly recommend staying here. It is a street away from the main road and easy to walk to everything. You get to borrow a free Yakuta outfit, belt, handbag and also geta (shoes). Unfortunately spa pass is not included. Again, Thank you for having me 💓

I overslept and ended up past the check-in time, but they accommodated me very kindly.It's an old building, but it had its own charm.I would like to serve you again when I come to Kinosaki.

Safe accommodation for girls only (smells 😝)The two friendly proprietresses can communicate in English. The location is a three- to five-minute walk from the main attractions. There is a delicious sushi restaurant at the entrance of the alley, which is very convenient!The personal space is very large, and the entire B&B must have been carefully maintained so it is clean and comfortable.I stayed here for two nights this time and had a warm and sound sleep💗

Beautiful Ryokan less than 10 minutes walk from Kinosaki station and close to most onsens. The Japanese tatami room is spacious and very clean with a washtafel inside. There are shared common bathroom, toilet, living room and kitchen that can be used. The owner very friendly and accommodating. They provide free use of yukata, basket and geta (Japanese wood sandal) to go to onsen during stay. Definitely will stay there again

This accommodation is worth giving 19 stars. Please upgrade to a larger room... ..Thanks to these two kind people, I want to come back to Kinosaki.The town is not large, so you can easily get to any hot spring.

This is a guesthouse that is beyond perfection. The hostesses explain the village in detail and are friendly and always helpful. It's clean, quiet, and comfortable, making it feel like a hotel.Let's go to the castle and think about it.崎に来たらまたとまりにきます

Chủ nhà rất nhiệt tình và phòng ốc được chuẩn bị rất tốt, ban đêm yên tĩnh nên chũng tôi đã ngủ rất ngon. Tuy nhiên nơi đây không có đồ vệ sinh các nhân cho khách( bàn chải, kem đánh răng...) nên bạn hãy tự chuẩn bị trước khi đến, và cũng đừng quên mang theo cả kem dưỡng da nữa nhé.The host was very enthusiastic and the room was very well prepared. It was quiet at night so we slept very well. However, this place does not have personal hygiene items for guests (brushes, toothpaste...), so please prepare yourself before coming, and don't forget to bring lotion too.

It was a perfect accommodation! At first, I thought it wasn't a guesthouse and passed by. It's beautiful inside and out and very clean. As many reviews say, the owner is very friendly. If you ask me about something, please answer kindly and take care of it :) Luckily, I got to share a 5-person dormitory room by myself😽 There were multiple bathrooms, so there was no inconvenience. All seven hot springs were easily accessible, so I was able to enjoy the hot spring village leisurely and romantically. They lent me a yukata, a yukata coat, and a bath basket. The coat was so pretty that I wanted to ask where I could buy it😝 I get a lot of gratitude! I really want to go next year too🫶🏻
