Shironoshita Guesthouse Hostel

Very new rooms, the inside of the device is also great! The owner family is no better, if you want to chat you can also to the living room, the owners will use English or Japanese to chat with you.

Shironoshita Guesthouse gets 5 stars on all counts :
a — Super Clean, bright and brand-new
b — Super Kind and helpful hosts
c — Very good value for money, especially the single room.
d — Excellent location, close to the station AND Himeji Castle
e — Immaculately well-organised booking process etc.
f — Good atmosphere, Great place to hang out and relax I stayed 3 nights, and could easily have stayed 3 more. There's a LOT to see in and around Himeji.

This place is very nice, clean, comfortable, and easy to arrive there. Is close to a station and also to the main attraction place like the castle. And the owners and their son are very nice too. The breakfast is spectacular. I really recommend this place.

The best guesthouse in Japan so far. A lovely, welcoming family in a newly well build, clean & quiet house. Just 5 minutes walk from the Himeji castle. Our guests are so nice they treated us with ice cream & tea every evening and some japanese sweets when we left. A must! (and I am not saying that very often)

Clean and nice budget accommodation. Very friendly hosts. If you need a soft bed, this is not for you, but if you are after the Japanese sleeping experience then a good place to try. Owner speaks English which is a relief. I was on a room with my family with traditional sleeping mats on the floor. There are other rooms with bunks for sharing. Shared bathrooms but all very clean and nice. Overall a nice experience and a good place to stay while exploring the area and the magnificent castle.

Excellent mattresses and accommodations are clean and very modern! Door buffers and reasonable room size makes for a quiet night. The internet is slow, but the hosts are nice, so put down your phone and talk to people!

Tomo-San and his family are such kind and sweet people! What can I say? Their place is perfect, new and spotlessly clean and you truly do feel at home. Tomo-san gives you excellent tips on where to go (thanks to him we went to Engyo-Ji) where my boyfriend was able to go take pictures in his Kimono at the shooting location for one of our favorite movies (the Last Samurai).
They waved us goodbye until we were little dots in the distance and I can highly recommend these kind and wonderful people and their little guesthouse to anyone staying in Himeji! :)

The owner is very friendly here. We arrived on December 29, 2017 and in the evening the owner entertained us with traditional Japanese noodles. I like it very much! He also gave us a lot of travel advice.

Great place to stay! Tomo-San and his family were so welcoming and nice! Definitely recommend for anyone staying in Himeji!

Wonderful owners, very clean and comfortable! Lovely guitar! Thank you!

Tomo-san and his family are super lovely and helpful! The place is brand new and shining. Excellent facilities and the breakfast is wonderful too. Close walking distance to the castle! Highly recommend.
