The whole property is gorgeous! Yuki is an amazing host who makes you feel at home straight away and helps you with anything you might need. We had the best time being able to get a more authentic experience of Japan and could have stayed for ages!

The location in this beautiful remote area of kinoki is also the tricky part, as buses to kinoki center are infrequent, it’s best for people who have a car or would use the bicycle (as I did) . It’s recommended to check beforehand if the bicycles are available.

It’s a cozy cottage near by the sea, the owner yuko is friendly and prepares amazing miso soup for breakfast.

Nothing too serius, but it is a little far from Kinosaki by foot, specially if you need to make the trip multiple times. I would recommend not being stubborn like I was, and try to plan your trip around the bus timetable, or ask the owner to take you by car once in a while... or don't, and rack up those daily steps ;)

It's a very cozy house with a very friendly cat, next to a beautiful onsen town :) It is a little far from the nearest supermarket, but you can order food at the accomodation, so that's very convenient. The whole vive is very friendly and positive, and I had a great time getting to know my roommates while enjoying the beauty of the area.

A ways out of town but if you can organize a ride through the owner or borrow one of the 2 bikes it's actually an awesome location near the sea side.

Great place near the beach.

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!!

Yuko runs a fantastic guest house. It is a real travellers place and as such has a great atmosphere and it was a real pleasure to stay. Her cooking is fantastic and both the evening meals I had were v.good value for money and thoroughly enjoyed.

what an amazing place! Yuko san and her family are caring and friendly owners, they help you with everything and make you feel at home. Possibility to use bikes and yukata rental for the onsen. Cozy atmosphere, comfortable beds and Japanese style with very nice modern elements. Super recommended.

The owners are so warm and welcoming! And they have te cutest cat. The bed was really comfortable, with heating (AC) and a warmwaterbottle.

It is a bit far out of town and so consideration of transport to and from needs to be taken into consideration. The house is not far from the beach and coastal area.

The staff were very friendly and helped with transport into Kinosaki.

everything was great

The location was amazing right next to the beach. The property was nice and comfortable and super warm.

Location. Buses are infrequent so plan ahead. You do not want to walk from Kinosaki trust me. However I believe I could have scheduled a ride to be picked up from Kinosaki!

Very friendly, went on an off time so it was quiet. Offered cold beers at a good price. Nice quiet area to walk. I believe rides are available if you schedule them prior. Spoke English.

Awesome place to stay ! The owner is so nice and the guesthouse is comfortable and has everything you need. There is a lovely family atmosphere around. We were also able to enjoy the beautiful Onsen of Kinosaki nearby. Thanks again for the beautiful moments !

My stay was fantastic - the hosts offered to pick me up from the train station, and also drove me to and from the town centre when I wanted to visit the local onsen. I spent the evening getting to know the hosts and the other travellers around the fireplace. The share room was really comfortable as well. Thank you !

Nothing really

We had a great stay. Yuko is such a great host, friendly. She helped us out with getting around and made a very tasty breakfast, can highly recommend that. You can borrow bikes and it is a peaceful place to enjoy after being to the onsens in Kinosaki Onsen.

The property is just a bit far away but it wasn’t a problem, actually an advantage. Be careful with the road. Use a light when walking at night.

The rooms were traditional and there was a cozy clean atmosphere. Yuko provided us with bikes and helmets to get to kinosaki and explore around, which was very helpful! Hideya is about a 30 minutes bike ride from kinosaki onsen but the surrounding area is so beautiful and quiet! She is so nice!!!

I stayed here with a friend while I was visiting Kinosakionsen, Yuko and her family were extremely nice and welcoming! The house was beautiful, homely and had everything we needed, it was exactly as the name implied. The town and surrounding area are a must to see in Japan and if and when I return, I will definitely stay again! It's slightly further from the town center, so it's perfect for cycling and sightseeing, I recommend to anyone visiting Kinosakionsen!

Nothing, really.

The friendliness of the hosts. We were picked up in Kinosaki and then taken to the hostel. I was very sick and didn't bring any medical supplies. She gave me some ibuprofen. The following day, she also agreed to bring us all the way to Genbudo Park.

If you are staying here to go to the Onsens in town it is a 50 minute walk or 20 minute bicycle ride. Sometimes the host can drive you into town for small fee. Cab ride is $1800 yen. 10/23 Shared bathroom but no problem during our stay.

Near the sea /beach Yuko is a wonderful host, made us great Japanese breakfast. Drove us into town when needed. Rooms were spacious. Gave us extra trip up to the top of the Mountain for the view.

Such a lovely place and host. She picked us up at our previous hotel and was very helpful all the way. She lent us some bikes so we could explore Kinosaki and even made breakfast for us! The area is so beautiful and we hiked up a mountain which our host recommended. It does indeed live up to its name. Absolutely recommended! Thank you for accomodating us:)

Stayed in October 2023

If you don’t have transportation, just know it is a ten minute drive to the town. The host can give you a ride, but it’s a bit too far to easily walk.

Very affordable ryokan close to the onsen! Free parking and a room big enough to fit our family of four. Downstairs kitchen and dining table made it easy to have dinner and breakfast. It was also very quiet. Loved the cat, too!
