Tokiwa Bekkan Ryokan

A shuttle bus runs to each Ryokan (Japanese inn) every time the express train arrives at Kinosaki Onsen Station. This is a quaint Japanese-style Ryokan (Japanese inn) with four two-story wooden buildings built in a 4,000m2 Japanese garden. The inn has only 23 luxuriously furnished rooms and is renowned for its attentive customer service. The inn has a large public bath and an open-air bath, where you can enjoy colorless and odorless hot spring water that is gentle on the skin. Dinner is kaiseki（a traditional Japanese multiple course meal ）made with local seasonal ingredients, and you can enjoy Tajima beef and Matsuba crab in winter.

If you're a man traveling solo and looking for a quiet place to stay, I think 'Tokiwa Bekkan' is an excellent choice. Kinosaki Onsen is famous for its 'Sotoyu Meguri,' which is hopping between the different public bathhouses, but the ryokan's own large bath (daiyokujo) offers its own kind of hidden luxury. You can soak leisurely in the hot spring while gazing out at the garden. The inn itself has a very calm, settled atmosphere, so you'll feel completely comfortable staying there alone. If you choose the 'breakfast only' plan, I think you'll find that it often fits within your budget. It's definitely worth checking out.
