リーズナブルで快適な宿。オーナーが最高！

丁度、西日本豪雨災害に遭遇し姫路に缶詰になりましたが、たいへん快適な滞在でした。親切なオーナーの女性とは旅や今までの来し方等、様々な話ができ楽しいひと時でした。居合わせた各国の人たちともオーナーを中心に良い時間を持ちました。ありがとうございました。また是非、泊まりたいです。

Close to Himeji Castle

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.
