One night and two meals costs 8,500 yen including tax, and there are fewer and fewer cost-effective guesthouses these days. The building seems to be at least 50 years old, but I felt that the cleaning of the baths, toilets, and guest rooms was on par with hotels across the country. For dinner and breakfast, there were many hearty dishes and I felt very welcomed.If you see this commentI hope that your mother will always be healthy and provide you with delicious food. I always stop by when I travel to the Kii area.

The staff are all so kind and care for the guests. Rooms are big and the meals are incredible! The bath is shared so being flexible with bath time is something to keep in mind.

I had no idea that there was such a Showa-style inn near Kumanoshi Station. I made a reservation for 1 night and 2 meals plan. When I entered the room on the second floor after checking in late, I found a fluffy futon already spread out in the Japanese-style room, which was too large for one person.First, let's have dinner. The dining room is located on the first floor. It has heating and a TV. When he brought me the sashimi later, I asked him for a beer. Next, we have freshly fried fries and boiled fish, and now we have everything. It suddenly became winter-like cold today, so she made me a kimchi hotpot. I wouldn't say it was extravagant, but there were so many dishes, and the food seemed so homemade that I ate so much rice that the rice bowl was empty.The bath was clean and had nice hot water, and the bath towel and bath mat were also comfortable.It's a retro, rustic, Showa-era inn, and the interior is showing its age, but the hospitality is top-notch and the cost performance is top-notch. If you come to that area, you'll want to stay at Kinanso again! This is such a ryokan.The next morning, on my morning walk, I went to see the World Heritage Site Hananokutsu Shrine and Shishiiwa Rock, which the landlady had told me about. It was very slow.

Thank you for your help in walking Iseji.Since it was early in the morning, I was very grateful to have a "dinner only" plan.The room was on the 2nd floor, and although simple, it was clean and equipped with WiFi, TV, kettle, yukata, toothbrush, towel, air purifier, etc., so I was able to spend my time there without any inconvenience. (The bath and toilet are shared)It seems like the mother is managing everything by herself, which makes me want to support her.The bath was spacious and hot, and I was able to soothe my fatigue.I also enjoyed the dinner, which included small side dishes with delicious flavors.thank you for helping me

The owner of the inn has passed away, so the landlady is running it almost by herself. Therefore, many customers will not be able to enter. Although it is an old-fashioned inn, it seems to be well kept, there is an air purifier in the room, and Wi-Fi is available. The bathhouse is not very large, and there is only one bathhouse, so it is like a private bath. It seems like he doesn't take a bath in the morning, and he doesn't take baths until around 9:30pm at night. I don't think it's an inn that stands out for its food, but the hostess's mother-like personality makes you feel kind.
