Although it is about a 10-minute walk from the main streets of Kinosaki, I believe this is one of the best hotels in terms of value. It offers affordable prices, spacious rooms with stunning views, huge variety of Yukata (wiki) and Geta for you to wear around the town during your stay, a relaxing lounge with complimentary snacks and drinks, and a huge restaurant. Plus, the highlight is the expansive onsen with various baths and saunas.

They also run a regular shuttle bus between the center of Kinosaki and the hotel for those who prefer not to walk.

Important note: This hotel's public onsen allows guests to enter with only small tattoos that can be covered by a patch. If your tattoo is larger, you won't be able to use the onsen facilities.

To summarize, while not directly in the center, this hotel provides excellent value with its comfortable amenities, stunning views, and convenient shuttle service. Just keep the tattoo policy in mind for onsen access.
