Although it is located in the center of a bustling hot spring town where the sound of geta (wooden clogs) echoes, once you step inside, you will find a quiet and tranquil space where time flows slowly.
It is a wooden structure built in 1927 (partly constructed in the 1945’s), and the east wing with the entrance is a rare three-story wooden structure today.

The charm of Mikiya is the high quality atmosphere with a hint of culture even today.
Take the lobby, for example.
The wooden structure, a registered tangible cultural property built in 1927, was renovated in 2013 to create a calm and mature space that combines modernity and history.
Next to the lobby, a “library lounge” has been set up.
The library lounge is located next to the lobby, where you can take your time to enjoy your favorite book selected by book director Masataka Haba from a collection of approximately 250 books.
The 300 tsubo Japanese garden is also a sight to behold.
In “At the Castle,” the author wrote, “My room was on the second floor, a rather quiet room with no neighbors.
When I got tired of reading and writing, I often sat on a chair at the edge.

Hotel Mikiya Cuisine

Kinosaki has an abundance of flavors from season to season.
The local cuisine that makes full use of these ingredients is truly exquisite.
Crab is the most popular!
The secret to its deliciousness is the relative proximity of Tsuiyama Port to the fishing grounds.
The secret is that Tsugiyama Port and the fishing grounds are relatively close to each other, and the freshness of the snow crab is maintained by the “day-trip operation” where the crab is caught that day and brought back to the port.
In addition, the soil off the Tango Peninsula, the fishing ground, and the food for snow crabs are said to be the conditions for growing good snow crabs.
With all these conditions in place, you can enjoy snow crab with sweet and tight meat.
