I very enjoyed my stay at Shironoshita guesthouse! The place is very clean and feels very like Japanese home. Tomo-san and his family are very lovely and so welcoming. I had an amazing experience in Himeji. I really recommend! Thank you so much :)

Nicolas Japan

Host was gracious and accommodating and very helpful.

Benjamin United States of America

Tomo-san is an amazing host. He was really helpful and welcoming. Place was clean and comfortable.

Sabuhi Azerbaijan

The host and his family are very likeable. I really enjoyed my short time here with them! Our room was really cosy, I didn't expect to be such at ease! It's really close to the castle and the railway station (maybe around 5-10 minutes for the first And 15 for the second) There are buses anyways so it's perfect :) Would totally recommend, if I ever come back to Himeji it would be at this place!

Constance France

Amazing and clean facilities. Very friendly and hospitable owners.

Joseph United States of America

Everything new and very clean. The family who run it, is very nice

Gal Germany

Almond toast is the best! Proactive owner to all inquiries especially when my flight got delayed I have arrived late at the hostel. Well-themed hostel to Sakura season. It feels everywhere in the hostel the cherry blossoms.

Dimple Philippines

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.

Aleksander United States of America

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.

Joel United States of America

The owner is a nice guy and helpful. The place is clean. Location is walking distance to the Castle.
