Kinosaki Onsen is a traditional hot spring town where you can enjoy six outdoor hot springs in yukata.

We operate as a bookstore, as the name suggests, but because we want to create a place for people to gather, we use the first floor as a bookstore and cafe bar, and the second floor as a guest house, not only throughout Japan, but also for people from all over the world.

You can enter the hot spring within a 1-minute walk and relax while reading a book in your room◎
Feel free to interact with locals and travelers from all over the world◎
You can enjoy Kinosaki Onsen in a style that suits you.

Our shop has no luxurious facilities like a ryokan, and you may not be able to provide enough hospitality.
But as a place to meet, we can help you make your trip more fulfilling.

Please use our shop and have a wonderful time.

* We are not a dormitory, all rooms are private.
Please relax without worrying about your surroundings.

[Please be sure to read]
Because we are a small operation, we may need about 30 minutes to make beds, etc. at check-in, only for guests who book on the day. We are very sorry, but in that case, please spend time in the 1st floor cafe space.
* If you can go outside immediately, you can leave your luggage first.

We are a bookstore where you can stay, but we do not provide luxurious facilities like a ryokan so that you can enjoy Kinosaki Onsen casually. Please only make a reservation if you have read and agree to the following notes.

< Notes >

① It is easy to hear the talking and music of the café & bar on the 1st floor.
② There is no bath or shower. The outdoor baths of Kinosaki Onsen are open from 7 am (with some exceptions), so please use them.
③ We do not distribute yukata rentals or day tickets for the outdoor baths.

Guest access
It is a 15-minute walk from Kinosaki Onsen station and a 1-minute walk from Kouno-yu.
In addition, free parking is available for one car per group, so you can come by car.

Other things to note
We are located on the second floor of a bookstore & cafe bar
Also, the ceiling of the bookstore space is thin, so it is easy to hear conversations and background music. (Especially rooms with a veranda)
We hope you will only use it if you understand this.
(The cafe bar is open until midnight)

About the surrounding environment
During your stay, you may be affected by the external environment, such as construction noise in the surrounding area, the sounds of neighboring residents, and temporary odors. These are events outside the facility and cannot be managed by the facility, so we cannot provide refunds, discounts, etc. for these reasons.
Please understand and make a reservation.
