The hotel is old but clean. The onsen is the best part of the hotel for me. There’s no water given in the room.
Free shuttle to train station is available.

Great hotel, nice facilities, specially the baths. The staff were very friendly and helpful.
The hotel is also within walking distance from himeji station and close to a groceries. The only downside for me was that my room was on the 3rd floor close to the pedestrian crossing. No noise at night, but in the morning you will get the sound from the crossing giving green light to the pedestrian.

Beds are hard. Like sleeping on plywood. They wouldn't let anyone into the public baths if they have tattoos, which left 3 of the 4 of us unable to use them.

The hotel is very clean and the staffs are very polite and helpful. The onsen in the hotel is very good, I really like it!
The hotel is pretty close to the Himeji Station, pretty convenient! There are free shuttle offered and bikes can be rented for free!

The first floor is a hot spring facility, and guests were able to use it as many times as they wanted, which was very satisfying!
I wasn't able to use the manga this time, but I'd like to come back and use it again next time!
The breakfast was also delicious and very satisfying!
I felt it was a little far from the station, but I was grateful that there was a free shuttle bus!
I'll definitely use it again when I come to Himeji!

The staff are very friendly, the hot spring facilities in the hotel are great, and the breakfast is delicious! Except that the location is a little far from the station and the rooms are a little old, everything else is pretty good.

It is more than 20 minutes' walk from Himeji Castle. There is a large supermarket nearby for shopping and free parking. The hotel has a sense of age and a large public bath. The affordable price is suitable for light travel.

It's a bit of a walk from Himeji Station (about 10 minutes), but there is a bus. It's a hotel, but it was great because it had a hot spring inside. There was also a manga corner, and it was like a small version of a super public bath. The building itself is old, but the inside has been renovated and is now all clean. The breakfast was also delicious.

The room type is old, the TV is still old-fashioned, the heater is very noisy, I was woken up in the middle of the night, the bed also felt vibrating every time the heater made noise, there were many people, the bathhouse was very good but there were many people, the breakfast was rich, many people had to wait It only takes 10 minutes to get a seat, and there is a shuttle bus to the JR station entrance. In a family-friendly hotel, children do not need to pay extra, and children's slippers and toothbrushes are also provided.

The only drawback is that it is far from the shopping area. There is a shuttle bus to the hotel from the south exit of Himeji Station, so it only takes 10-20 minutes to walk. The natural hot spring is free. In addition, you can also pay to book a private family bath room. The front desk staff is friendly, especially the older uncle. His attitude and service are very good. The overall experience is great!

You have to walk a short distance to the station. If you are tired from walking in Himeji Castle, you can come back and take a bath. For 800 yen, you can purchase a rock bath to relax your body. The room is quite decent, but quite big.
