ACCOMMODATIONS Suigou

Really nice place to stay, there's great value here if you're looking to stay in Kinosaki as it's super affordable. It's only a 10 min walk from the train station and the nearest onsen, which isn't bad at all. The staff were very friendly and welcoming.

I was told not to open the window blinds due to issues with stinkbugs, but I don't view that as a problem, since I spent most of the day in the town anyway and I never saw a stinkbug in the room. The room I stayed in had climate control, which I could adjust. There is tea, table/chairs, and a sink in the room, which was nice.

They don't serve meals, so I would recommend to try to eat dinner at a restaurant early, as most of the shops close pretty early in Kinosaki. I had to turn to the 24/7 kobini for dinner lol (it was pretty tasty though).

The room comes with a pass to the 7 onsen and a towel and Yukata to borrow. They also have geta that you can wear, which was really cool! The bathroom was clean, but it only has a Japanese style toilet though, so keep that in mind if that would be an issue for you.

Overall, this is a great find in Kinosaki, I'd definitely stay here again.

My room was clean and had a great view of the garden out front. The woman that checked me in and out was very nice. I speak almost no Japanese and had no issues. A short walk to the nearby onsens. I hope to return.

Very good address.
Comfortable Japanese room.
A bit off the center of Kinosaki onsen, but you can reach the station in less than 10 minutes by foot and the center of the city in less than 15, so it's not a issue.
The people at the front desk are nice and welcoming.
Nice sentō on the first floor.

It's an old inn, so there is neither breakfast not WiFi in the rooms (there is WiFi in the lobby).
It's not a problem once you know it (especially when you travel with a pocket WiFi), but it's better to be aware of that

It's located a 5-10 minute walk from the train station, in the opposite direction from the public onsen and all the shops. This meant it was particularly quiet. The staff accommodated me leaving my luggage there a bit early while I visited a few onsen before checking in. However, none of them spoke English, so I had to make do with rudimentary Japanese. I didn't use the amenities other than the sink (onsen were close enough to not need it), though it is an old building with shared Japanese style toilets. I think the indoor and outdoor bath are "private", in that you lock the door when using it, and there was no men's or women's seperation. The included onsen pass was definately the highlight, as to visit all 7 individually would be over 5000 yen (i think). The properties garden was amazing, visible from my room.
