The staff was very friendly and helpful planning my onsen and hiking trail. Don’t forget to rent the yukata it’s only 1,000 yen with handmade bag (the staff teaches you).

“Great stay especially if you're on a budget but want to experience Kinosaki onsen!”
The owner was very friendly, a bit too much almost. But I appreciate how he wants to help and be friendly for the costumers. I really liked the room and the service.

“Lovely Japanese Inn in Kinosaki”
The host is lovely. He taught us how to make bags from cloth. He is also very considerate to let us check in early as we were lucky that our room is ready. Learned a lot about Japanese culture. They provide evertyhing that is expected from a Japaness Inn - toiletries, hairdryer even curling iron! There's free tea in the lobby area. It is walking distance from the train station.

Very nice accommodation. The tatami room was comfortable and well equipped with airconditioning to sooth the summer weather. Easy to find from the map and is walking distance from the train station. The host was very helpful and friendly! Will visit and book here again when I get another chance.

The owner was very helpful and gave me a lot of tips on how to spend my time in Kinosaki. He even told me a particular spot i could see fireflies at night, that was really nice. The room was very traditional with tatami and futon.

“A welcoming and stylish place, the perfect blend of functional modernity with a traditional feel”
I loved the way the space had been designed, was well laid out and very beautifully decorated. Yoshi kept the place so immaculate, I have no idea how he manages. He was always attentive to answer questions and happy to help demonstrate how to wear the traditional Yukata. What a gem of a human!

“Wonderful stay, very authentic and relaxing!”
Wonderful location with close proximity to nearby onsen (public baths). Features tatami rooms with a truly authentic Japanese feel perfect for relaxation while also offering traditional yukatas to wear for your trip through the town / to the onsens (ideal for scenic pictures over the river). Everything was clean and really well-kept, all in all a fantastic stay, I would highly recommend it!

“A good stay for a decent price”
Clean, everything you might need is available on spot, tge house is super stylish, and if you need advice on anything, ask the owner. He might seem a bit square, but is really nice and helpful. We got to leave our bags for free at the house after our check-out until 14 and this made our stay even more enjoyable.
