The owner Mizuho Ooishi is an amazing hostess, making sure I was well received, comfortable and welcome. She told me about Kinosaki history and we had a lovely time chatting.
I love the entrance and the garden view from the sitting room. Mizuho-san arranges the ikebana flower design for that room which was colorful and a lively part of the room. The dorm room is spacious, and I was lucky to have it all to myself during my stay. Complimentary clean pressed yukata, obi and hand towel as well as the clacky geta were available for use at the onsens. The kitchen is well equipped, well-organized, and clean. There is also a vintage back massage chair one can use for JPY10!
I look forward to another visit soon.

Very clean, comfortable accommodation in a historic building with wonderfully friendly and helpful hosts. Laundry facilities are available. Dinner was a large amount- three dinners was more than enough for four people. The breakfast was also large and extravagant.. keep in mind they eat whole fish for breakfast in this country ;). the village is beautiful and the beach is completely empty. The property is literally a quarter of a block from the beachfront.

This place is a hidden gem. The owner was super nice. He had food to purchase when almost no one in town had any hot meals to purchase due to slow season. He is at the foot of a temple which you can take a rope car straight up a steep hill or you can climb a thousand stairs (really cool). The hot springs that come out the ground makes beautiful streams with koi fish in some areas. This room felt really secure and quiet although the first floor is a bookstore slash Cafe. My friends were in a nearby hotel and they came to hang out at my hotel/Cafe with me and the hospitality is off the charts. I can go on and on and still not cover half. This is a walking town that you feel really safe in. All the store owners have stories and are so inviting. The onsens were not my thing, but my friends gave them 5 stars I cannot find any negatives. Oh, maybe an extra pillow will be nice, but I never asked because I was so comfortable in every other way. Rent an ebike across from the train to go to the zoo and park. Free battery changes feel like Formula 1 pit stops. Oh, and walk a lot. This place grows on you quick. Hope this helps your Kinosaki trip. City pictures included.

Tak the host is fantastic...friendly, helpful, and he speaks decent English. His customer service attitude makes his small, simple guest house a mouse that roars. The bookstore in front where guests check in is cute, fun and interesting, a nice, welcoming space.

Very clean, A very good price I think. Very close to the beach and quite a few good restaurants. Not super busy when I went. The town is small enough you can walk most places, but to the train station is a bit far. There are occasional busses if you don't have a car.

Warm and welcoming guest houses are ideal for travelers who prefer laid-back accommodations with a personal touch. Usually family run, these hosts will provide local recommendations and even optional meals. Guest houses sometimes feature a cozy living room or a garden – and are still cheaper than most regular hotels.
Great value for money, brilliant host. The week we were there was very quiet with 2 other guests. Host is lovely and helpful. Lights downstairs go off at 10 pm. Very nice considering it is a hostel and sharing bathrooms/toilets. Very clean. If you come for the onsen, some onsen closes on a certain days of the week. Lovely experience to enjoy in Japan.
I really enjoyed my visit to Takeno, a quiet, traditional fishing village. The guest house was simple but really lovely, and spotlessly clean, and Keisuke made sure I had everything I needed. The sashimi set for dinner was the best I have had in Japan - fish fresh straight off the dock. It was also really relaxing to hang out downstairs in his bookshop bar. All round a great experience.
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!
We had the best stay at Yuko`s guesthouse near Kinosaki Onsen. Yuko is extremely friendly and cooks up the most amazing food. The property is located close to Kinosaki Onsen and it is easy to get there using the bikes provided or the local bus system. The area surrounding the property is beautiful and quiet. We would love to come back one day!!
Chihiro and Mizuho are delightful hosts and it is a privilege to stay at an authentic onsen guesthouse. The sisters are so helpful on sharing the offerings of their town in spite of their basic English.
Wakayo feels like home! Two beautiful sisters running a lovely, traditional guesthouse who were the warmest & most welcoming hosts I think I have ever met. A very charming place. I will be back! Thank you so much. :)
Great hosts and in a great location, a short walk from the station in the middle of the town. Everything was perfect for our stay. Free onsen passes were included with the room which was a bonus, and they provided yukata and instruction on how to wear them and how to use the onsen. We didn't opt for meals during our stay, but they left us tea in our room each evening which was really nice.
