The location is fantastic for visiting Himeji Castle and close to ships and restaurants. Your able to drop off luggage before checking. The staff was very friendly and the communal space is small but cozy.
Great for a short stay to visit Himeji Castle. It’s close to the castle which opens at 9:00 so you can sleep in a bit and still get to the castle for 9:00 when it opens if you want to avoid the crowds.
