The room itself was as I was expecting, pretty simple, the facilities were nice and very clean. However, the owner Tomo-san exceeded my expectations, as he was very friendly, helpful, and accommodating. For example, the night we arrived he offered us suggestions for restaurants, and as we went walking around exploring the neighborhoods and looking for food, it began to rain. He drove after us, lent us umbrellas, and then offered drove us to the covered mall so we could look for food without being rained on. Location is also within walking distance from Himeji Castle and a local train station. Would recommend staying here.

The facility meets expectations for cleanliness and comfort but what makes this place great is the host. Tomo-san makes an extra effort to make you feel welcome and comfortable. He anticipates your needs and for example has a list of nearby restaurants and brochures for touring the city. The location was convenient for seeing Himeji’s highlights and accessing transportation connections.

The owner. I spend 3 weeks in Japan (cca 10 places) but I like this owner the most. He visited some 50 countries and knows perfectly what travelers need. And because we are travelers we have to support another traveler. He speaks very good English and its also unusual in Japan. The hostel is new and I appreciate his decision to run hostel instead of some office work. How many of you had dream to run own hostel for another travelers but you are still in work you do not love? The place is spotless, location very close to the castle and will meet all expectation you could require from this kind of accommodation.

Guesthouse is just a 10-15 minute walk to Himeji Castle. When I arrived, Tomo-San greeted me with a warm welcome. The bed is very comfortable and the toilets are spotless. It’s definitely the best guesthouse to stay in when in Himeji Castle. Note that only cash is accepted.

The local train wasn’t running because of a typhoon, the owner drove us to the Himeji station personally. Amazing host in every way.

Very clean, exceptionally so, with very nice restroom and shower facilities in particular. Staff was also incredibly accommodating, even changing my room for me when a couple of the other guest were being a bit loud in the room right next to me. I didn't even say anything to him, he just came out and offered, and moved everything over. The location is also excellent - it only took me 10 minutes to walk from there to the castle, and that was while carrying all of my stuff.

I have to say I have really enjoyed this accommodation. I just wanted to spend a night in Himoji. But the host and facility overcame my expectations. He was very kind and willing. In the evening he invited me to met other guests in the shared room to talk to each other and I think we really enjoyed it. So I absolutely recommend staying in here.
