First of all, shake the idea that you're in Matsue. That may be what it says on the address card, but the experience is completely different. You're sandwiched between the mountains and the sea, and the city is far away. You're in a quiet, private little slice of rural Japan where the sunrise breaks silently over the wharf and the black kites steal the castoffs from the fishermen on the rocks. If you're very lucky, and very still, you may hear an osprey hunting for its breakfast before the larger boats rumble to life. The old man who waits for you in reception greets you with warmth and enthusiasm, and what strength time has stolen from his hands has not yet abandoned his smile, which betrays the pleasure and pride at the history he sustains in this small Inn which is older than my country. Wake early, and travel just a few minutes along the coast to the small lighthouse where you can sit in silence and admire distant Mount Daisen, a prominent silhouette even from across the Sea of Japan.

Unexpectedly and without us asking the owner was waiting for us at the station and gave us a ride and remembered us from our stay of many years ago. View from the room is a nice Japanese garden and pond filled with koi.

My first 10 rating. Our room was fantastic, with a large sitting area, separate sleeping area with comfortable beds and private outdoor onsen. Staff were uniformly friendly, helpful and polite. Our meals were excellent and very filling. Each large window in our room looked out on different areas of an impeccably designed garden. We are already planning our next visit.

Shokinkan is a truly magical place operated by incredible people. Nestled in a gorgeous, ancient temple complex, the grounds are extremely fun to hike/explore during the day, with plenty of opportunities to learn about the history of the place through thoughtful signage and the wonderful staff. The food was absolutely delicious - we were eating a feast of unique foods specially prepared for us every evening and morning, which made the experience epic. Okami-san and everyone else here gregariously welcomed us with cups of beautiful matcha, and even shuttled us to and from Yasugi station and to the Adachi Museum of Art. I will never forget this place!

The breakfast was really good and the employees were kind. The small onsen was also geat-- it was clean. If you stay for more that 3 days you can get a free performance of a traditional Shimane instrument. The location is about 20 minutes away from Tamatsukuri onsen station but it's near a cafe and other restaurants.

So close to the fishing harbour, the room I was assigned was facing it and it was a wonderful view to wake up to every morning there. The room is clean, the futon is very comfortable!

This is a family owned ryokan and the hosts lady was super nice. She met us at a train station since she knew our train arrival time. That was a nice surprise. The ryokan itself is quite close to the station a couple of minutes walk away from the main town street. Tsuwano is a nice little town and you could easily spend a half or full day there. We had a half board arrangement and it was a blast - full set Japanese dinner with a sake tasting and equally complete Japanese breakfast. Tremendous value and reception! Highly recommend!

This is a traditional ryokan which has great food and really lovely staff. We were so well taken care of. Dinner and breakfast were delicious and varied on each of the 3 days that we stayed. Our room was spacious and had a delightful sitting area. The location within the temple grounds was beautiful. We were picked up and dropped back at Yasugi train station, as well as the Adachi museum. Highly recommended.

The room was amazing, and the staff were all super friendly despite the language barrier. There's a fridge and A/C in the room, and a yukata for sleeping as well. The bed is big and comfy. It's less than 5min from Izumo Taisha and in a lovely location in general, but quite far from the train station.

This was a luxurious treat and we all enjoyed it from the welcome by the general manager, the hot spring bath, the food, the room. One of our group had a massage which was very good and reasonably priced. Breakfast was an amazing buffet of Japanese and Western dishes. The hotel provided transport by shuttle bus to and from the hotel. Communications via booking.com worked well.

Perfect! The staff made the stay extra special - they were so kind and welcoming despite our lack of Japanese. The food was consistently exceptional, everything so tasty and beautifully presented. We especially enjoyed getting dressed up in yukata for dinner.
