Sumatakyo Onsen Tours

Very friendly staff. I caught them in the middle of renovations of a couple of floors but they were consensus of work hours. 10 minute walk from jr rail station.

The staff was very accommodating. There aren't any restaurants around, so including meals with your reservation is highly recommended.

A good spot to stay in Kinosaki. The room itself was pretty outdated with an old tv - I really enjoy when hotel TV's have casting capabilities which this one did not. But the service and meals service was excellent, it's a self-serve buffet style dining which is great if you're a slightly fussy eater like myself. A little disappointed that the room view was blocked by netting for maintenance, which Inwas advised prior to arrival but after booking. I think some form of discount would have been nice for the inconvenience considering I had booked a river view room.
