Very nice host, clean room with electric heater and air condition, good location.

Hsin Taiwan

Our family of 5 very much enjoyed our stay - rooms were cosy and comfortable, bathrooms clean and hosts were super friendly and generous. Location is excellent, half way between the train station and the castle and in a shopping arcade, which unfortunately was closed during our stay due to the New Years holidays. Our kids enjoyed talking to Hikaru and loved the decor.

Erin Australia

Stay longer in Himeji. Behalf the castle, there are more interesting spots to discover. Drink a coffee from the siphon with almond toast at hamamoto coffee. Climb the stairs at the hill to have a nice view on the castle. Try a kimono at your hostel. Sake tasting at a local bar...I love the city!

Marijn Belgium

Splendidly welcoming and helpful. Good English spoken and a lot of information available about what to see and do.

Margaret United Kingdom

The host was very nice and friendly. I could not have better. Thank you very much for your help !!! I just regrte if was such court but I wish you all the best !! Myriam

Myriam France

The location was absolutely suberb. Great place to stay the night between the train station and the castle. You can easily beat the morning crowds and be the first person to explore the beautiful castle when it opens.

Patrik Finland

Lovely place with a very authentic japanese feel. Classy decor, extremely lovely staff and great location. Will return for sure.

アメト United Kingdom

Lovely private room in a characterful flat. Charming owner (looking fantastic in a kimono). I stayed in the twin private room. The beds are bunk beds but are double sized so very comfortable. The room is big with a hammock chair and two leather sofas with a nice wooden table. Shared showers and toilets are all very nice (three pretty discrete toilets and two showers). Also a nice living room area. There is a kitchen area but I didn’t really use so can’t comment on. Easy walk from the station and also to the castle (10 mins to each).

Robert United Kingdom

A beautiful old house with a very nice owner. The room was spacy and had a good air-conditioning. Very nice!

Toni Finland

Very nice owner! She told as about good food and did everything so we could have comfortable night. Nice and clean bathrooms and room! I do really recommend!

Hikaru Fukuda

お買い物や食事に便利な商店街の中に位置しています。外観は近代的な着物店ですがドアを開けて階段を昇ると、そこには伝統的な日本家屋に現代のエッセンスを加えた素晴らしい古民家風ラウンジがあります。甲冑やアンティークのタンス、食器類や装飾品はとても素晴らしくとても居心地の良い空間になっています。客室は2室しかなく、家庭的な雰囲気です。布団は最高級の羽毛布団ですので、寝心地が大変良いです。睡眠不足のお客様はぜひ党宿でお泊りください。きっとぐっすり眠れますよ。

こんにちは。女将の福田ひかるです。日本の伝統文化が大好きで、ゲストハウスの1階で着物販売とレンタルのお店をしています。インテリアにも興味があり、ゲストハウスには様々手つくり品が飾ってあります。 手芸も大好きでいろいろなワークショップを開催しています。着物体験は本当に素晴らしく、旅の思い出に花を添えます。特に、好古園では着物の写真がとても映えるので、おすすめしています。
