This guesthouse is the perfect way for backpackers to enjoy this magical onsen town without breaking their wallet. It’s a five minute walk from everything, big, spacious, affordable, and traditional, with futon and tatami.
The owner is nice and professional. He gave me better recommendations than the tourist information center, dried my deluged boots multiple times without me asking, and informed me of potential delays to trains due to snowstorms.
Don’t know about the shower because I didn’t use it.
Toilet was clean and well maintained.
I stayed in the women only 6-bed dorm.
The room had a faint weird/bad smell. I couldn’t find the source but seems it was also in the blanket. If you’re very sensitive to smells (like me), then it might put you off at first but as you’re in the room longer, you don’t smell it anymore.
The staff was very friendly and professional, with lots of advice and tips.
We loved our stay. The location is perfect, the rooms have beautiful tatami floors and paneled doors and windows. We slept really well on our futons. The yukatas you can rent are very pretty and well taken care of. The host was extremely nice and helpful. The place was very very clean. We had a lot of fun chatting to the other guests in the evenings in the common space downstairs. We will definitely stay here again on our next visit to Kinosaki!
