Onsenminshuku Kosakaya

Location 10/10: in close proximity to the railway station, bus station convenience store. They have parking spaces, for cars and bikes. also kind of close to the town center, where the restaurants are and the store are. Staff 10/10: friendly and welcoming, tried their best to explain the how things works. facilities Basic facilities, toilets are abundant, clean. Sinks are clean. individual room, with AC, and TV, there's a drying wire in the room, where you can pull out a nylon wire to the other side of the wall and hang your towels or clothing. there's an actual onsen, very cool, although, in my opinion, it closes fairly early, travellers should plan ahead when they want to try it out.

New location is a short stroll from train station. Smoking allowed in the room but my room definitely smell nothing like it! Instead it was clean and fresh. On the second floor there is a shared unisex toilet (multiple cubicles and 1 urinal) and wash basins. Down the corridor there is also a single wash basin and round the corner another western style toilet. Great for wintery night... Owner's wife Tomoe san cooking is homey and all dishes were delicious. Would rather eat here than to one of the many restaurants in town centre. A good base for visits to the obsens on island, Shingu and Taiji. JR train to Nagoya and Shin Osaka both run by Kii-Katsuura.
