I used it on a solo trip in October 2022.There are very few places in Kinosaki where you can stay alone, so this was a great help.I read the reviews that it was like a guesthouse, so I went there prepared with pajamas and a toothbrush, but I did have a yukata (nightwear), a towel, and a toothbrush.The room was clean and clean, but there was no soundproofing at all! ! (lol)My grandma runs it all by herself, and if you don't mind a few things (lol), you'll be very satisfied.In my case, I have a chubby body, but I was really concerned about the size of my yukata!I laughed out loud as if I was so worried lol(*´▽｀*)Also, when it's the last time to use the public bath, it's past the time when the doors are closed at night.The landlady told me, ``As long as you don't come back in a hurry, it's okay if you wait a little longer.''The way he says it is so loud that it might be of interest to those who are interested.I was traveling alone, so it was fun to talk when we met lol.

What does "toilet available" mean?Even though I had chosen a room plan with a toilet, I was given a room without a toilet. When I walked out into the communal hallway, I saw that there was a toilet exclusively for the people staying in that room, so apparently that's called a ``toilet-equipped'' room. Of course, the bathroom is also shared.Also, even though the check-out time was 10 o'clock, I went into the room at around 9:45 and took out the sheets, saying, ``It's time to take the futon to the dry cleaners.'' ``If you go after 10 o'clock, you will be charged an extension fee,'' I reminded them.I think it would be a good idea to let them know in advance if the check-out time is set at 9:30.The location is good.

It specializes in overnight stays without meals, and although it is not listed on major reservation sites, yukatas and towels are provided. (No bath towel provided)The location is good and the rooms are not bad, but there is no view.It seems like the elderly proprietress is running the restaurant by herself, so it's best to feel like you're returning home to your grandmother's house in the countryside.If you go with other intentions, you may be worried about the proprietress' health in terms of service.

One night stay during GW touring. It was a room with a toilet. The sheets on the futon are crisp and clean and shiny everywhere. We ate out at night and visited the public baths, and left early in the morning, so we had no problems and it was a wonderful place. Thank you very much for taking the time to see me off.

The owner is a kind lady and the room is clean, but the lack of Wi-Fi is fatal. The futon is thin. Is the 11 o'clock curfew a school trip?

Accommodation for overnight stays only. I have a kind grandmother. Please note that you have to leave the inn at 10am every morning to clean your room, and the hotel will be locked at 11pm, so you must be home by then.There is no problem even if you stay overnight without meals as you can visit the public baths and eat at restaurants outside.The rooms have been renovated and are clean. There was a room where the heating didn't work well.

I'm touched by the fact that the elderly wife is working so hard to manage everything by herself (or rather, I'm worried...). The customer service was kind and typical of an old guesthouse.This may be a rude expression, but I was prepared for the price, but the room had been renovated and was clean.It's located right in the middle of the hot spring town (Yanagiyu is right there), but it's a quiet back alley.Don't expect much.We are fully satisfied with this location in the famous hot spring town and the exceptional price for a room without meals.There are plenty of shops outside selling crab, Tajima beef, and local sake.(If you want to enjoy seafood at a reasonable price)Bonnai is closer to Gosho-no-Yu than the street in front of the station.We recommend a set meal restaurant)Thank you for your help.

The room is a Japanese-style room with 6 tatami mats.The tatami mats are also beautiful.A toilet with a washlet is attached to the room.My room has 4 sliding doorsThe two pieces on the left are locked with a key from the outside, and the two pieces on the right are locked with a screw type key from the inside.The bathroom is in the hallway, but it's right in front of you, so you won't have to lock it!Due to the sliding door, it may not be suitable for couples due to noise leakage.Other rooms have regular doors

The location is away from the hot spring town, so you can enter the hot springs right away. It looks like a renovated house. The winter heat can be harsh and I have even had a sore throat, so a mask is essential. …

Cash payment only (on arrival) *Credit cards not accepted.All rooms are on the second floor. (steep stairs).Some rooms have toilets and some don't.The building is old, but each room has been renovated and looks new and clean. The cleaning was done right up until the last minute to welcome customers at 3:00 pm, so it looks like it was taken care of.Added toilet space outside the room. No refrigerator or safe.TV is terrestrial digital only. (No BS/CS)There are no vending machines either. There is a Family Mart about 5 minutes walk away.Under-roof parking space: 1 regular car (small car) + 2 motorcycles. *Required: Advance reservation.There is no place to stay at such a low price in Kinosaki Onsen town, and there is surprisingly a lot of traffic along the main street (famous inn district), so the noise of cars is loud, but this inn, which is just one street away, offers a relatively quiet place to sleep. Masu.It is not a luxurious room like a traditional inn, but there are many restaurants along the road from this inn to Kinosaki Station, so if you enjoy seafood at the restaurant above the fish shop and take a tour of the public baths, you will be able to fully enjoy Kinosaki Onsen. You can enjoy it on a low budget.
