Booked a single room which is very good value. Although bathroom were shared, other guests were quiet so my stay was enjoyable. Owner is very nice and welcoming and breakfast was very good.

Great stay in a convenient location and nice hosts
Incredibly welcoming and nice hosts, the property is very well located near the castle and a train station. Everything was very clean, convenient, with a very homey feel which made the stay even more comfortable. Slept very well, absolutely no complaints, would recommend and stay again if back in Himeji.

Very nice guest house, super clean and the family was lovely. A good location near a JR station and a short walk to Himeji castle.
Room is very clean, has everything you need. Also shared bathroom big enough. New clean toilet, like everything else looks recently build. The owner of the property is very helpfull. Don't be scared to ask him questions. Also his English is very good.
역에서 멀지 않고요. 근처에 좋은 식당, 편의점 등이 갖춰져 있어서 편했습니다. 히메지 성을 비롯한 여러 명소에 가기에도 좋았고요.
친절하게 맞이해주시고 이것저것 챙겨주셔서 감사했습니다. 편안하게 쉬고 여행에 대한 여러가지 도움을 받을 수 있는, 무척 좋은 숙소였습니다. 다시 방문하고 싶은 곳입니다.
