A lovely place to stay in Toyooka
Pros:

It’s a cleverly renovated and beautifully decorated house, with all the comfort of modernity.

Cons:

The stairs leading up to living room and bedroom can be a bit challenging for elderly or unfit people, or people traveling with large suitcases. We only had our backpacks so it was OK for us, but I can imagine how difficult it could be to carry large suitcases upstairs (but one can also leave them downstairs as there is plenty of space downstairs).

Pros:

Wir hatten einen super tollen Aufenthalt. Die ganze Wohnung ist super schön und modern eingerichtet. Es war alles sehr sauber. Der Empfang war sehr herzlich und freundlich. Ein besondereres Highlight waren für uns die super bequemen Betten! Die Lage ist optimal. Sehr nah am Bahnhof und doch sehr ruhig. Wir konnten nachträglich noch Frühstück buchen, das uns jeden Morgen frisch zubereitet gebracht wurde. Es war einfach klasse!

Cons:

Alles top!

Beautiful boutique property with lots of unique character.
Pros:

Absolutely beautiful boutique property with lots of unique Japanese character and thoughtful touches. So comfortable, and a great place to unwind. Very well equipped kitchen. Stunning deep soaking bath. Short walk to Toyooka Station and Kinosaki Onsen is very accessible by train, so this makes a great alternative to staying in Kinosaki Onsen. The property also has a sister hotel a couple of minutes walk away, with a guest lounge and bar. The breakfast was excellent. Staff were helpful in making recommendations and restaurant bookings.

Pros:

It was a nice property. The yard was also very pretty. Access to the other hotel was also nice, and they have a free lounge. It was overall a cool experience to stay in a renovated storage unit.

Cons:

Unfortunately, the place was smaller than what appears in the pictures. I believe a lot of space is taken up by the stairway and empty space. The price was also higher than expected due to additional fees.

조식 먹을 곳이 있었으면 좋았을것 같아요

Beautiful home with gorgeous stone bath.
Pros:

Beautifully decorated home just a shotr walk from the nearest train station with a large stone bath. The small garden was tranquil and private. The staff were amazing and accomodating to our requests.

Cons:

Even with the heaters on throughout the home, it was still a bit chilly but that is to be expected for more traditional Japanese homes. Just bring a sweater if you are sensitive to the cold.
