"A very nice hotel close to Himeji station and the castle. The breakfast is very generous and the hotel staff are very attentive. It is impeccably clean. However, the rooms are quite small and there isn’t even space under the bed for any kind of luggage. Bear this in mind if you have a large suitcase (you might be able to store it closed and vertically in the small wardrobe)"

"Breakfast and dinner included and the food was very good. The rooms are a little small and dated but the food more than makes up for it. The staff were very friendly and helpful. "

If you’re chasing something truly unique in Japan, skip the big cities for a night and stay in Fukusaki — a small town quietly famous for its yokai folklore. And if you do, there’s one stay that absolutely makes the experience unforgettable. The space itself is incredibly homey. You get that instant exhale when you walk in—like you’ve arrived somewhere safe after a long journey. It’s clean, thoughtfully arranged, and full of little details that make it feel personal rather than staged.

Only great things to say about this hotel . Rooms are sufficiently spacious and clean with good WiFi connection . The morning breakfast has very good spread and the view ( especially if the breakfast is set in the 14th floor ) is excellent with view of the Himeji castle. Here too there is free coffee until 22:00 hrs at the reception area . The staff are very friendly and polite. This hotel has many elevators and hence there is no wait time at all . The hotel itself has a direct connection to the...

Tatsuno is a charming, former samurai town that is easily explored on foot. We were in the area to visit the Hijemi Castle, and were very happy to be in Tatsuno, away from the bustle of tourists.
The machiya is large, beautiful, elegant, and very comfortable...we could spread out and relax. We loved our short stay in the refurbished traditional home. As designers, we appreciated the architecture and tasteful decor. The traditional bathroom, with soaking tub, had lovely amenities. The garden is a...

This hotel is excellent. Friendly service, they're attentive to your needs at all times. Amazing breakfast. I'm an experienced traveler and Marriott or Hyatt hotels could only dream of the attention and service this hotel provides.

Everything about our short stay was lovely. The town was very quiet while we were there - our stay was primarily to visit the castle ruins (which we recommend!). Very charming town. The inn was very relaxing and we enjoyed the on-site onsen, and the excellent Japanese breakfast.
The room was WONDERFUL. We loved the traditional architecture-with modern amenities-and the room was clean and had very comfortable and quiet. The bathroom was modern and the complimentary drinks in the mini-bar area...

New hotel right on the bay in northern Awaji. Rooms are wonderful - spacious with great shower & beds. Our room had a spectacular view! The lobby is very nice and welcoming. The staff speak reasonable English for those who do not speak Japanese. The beach at the hotel is nice and not crowded. The sand is pretty good but it gets a little rocky right at the edge in the water (not an issue at all). They do have some food items for sale but do not provide any food besides a miso soup packet (which...
