Mikuniya

Kansai


This long-time traveller favourite is a reliable choice and has friendly, English-speaking staff. Rooms have toilet and sink, and the communal onsen bath can be used privately. Dinner is served in the rooms; if you opt for the Western-style breakfast, it's served at Cafe & Bar 3rd, next door.

Heading into town from the station, it's about 150m along on the right; look for the rickshaw.
