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

Aleksandra, Poland

the private room was very spacious and comfortable as well as air conditioned and a 5 minute walk from himeji station

Ele, United Kingdom

Cozy and a bit funky (and quite big) room with wide and comfy beds. Very nice and kind and talkative owner. Good location in lively neighbourhood.

Anji, Slovenia

Very cosy room - perfect for our family of four. The sitting area was a lovely touch. Two toilets and two showers - all very clean. The owner was super friendly. It is pretty close to both the station and Himeji castle, so we managed to get there as it opened to avoid the crowds.

Hikaru-san is a great host. Though I arrived around 10pm, she waited up and greeted me with a smile. Her guesthouse only has 2 rooms for guests, so it’s a very personal experience. Definitely check out her kimono shop when you have time. Good value. Great walking distance to the castle.

The facilities were not super clean and the bed honestly was pretty uncomfortable. Not sure if other guests understand the concept of shared bathroom as I’ve walked in there twice and found men in their underwear just chilling there. I would understand if it was a gender separated bathroom, but it was shared by all the guests regarding of gender.
Good location and very friendly and helpful staff
