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.
