Personally, I liked the breakfast they served and the other guest also offered me some of his cereals, haha.

Located on a lively traditional shopping arcade, Himeji 588 Guest House features affordable Japanese-style accommodations. Free WiFi is available and guests can watch DVDs on the flat-screen TV in the shared lounge. JR Himeji Train Station is a 10-minute walk away.

It's located a few steps away from the castle and at walking distance from the train stations, close to restaurants and shops. The lady host was super nice and friendly, she will explain where's everything and how it works. The facilities are modern, clean and with a nice style; I really liked the decoration. The bed was comfortable, the bathroom clean, and the common area comfy. I definitely recommend it.

    Great location right next to station and near the castle. Room was comfy. As it’s like a hostel though we had a room to ourselves with 4 bunk beds so there was no lock on the door. The walls are also very thin and you can hear other people having conversations and we were woken up in the night by it.

    Best location possible for Himeji: directly between Himeji station and the castle grounds. You can walk under covered streets the whole way if it's raining. The owner is super nice, even gave us some free cake! It's 100 yen to rent a towel, but I feel that's reasonable. Of course it is hostel-style so the quality of your sleep is reliant on the other guests but everyone who was there when we went was nice and quiet at night.

    Travelling through Japan for 3 weeks we will definitely always remember our stay at Shironoshita Guesthouse. Unfortunately we were only staying in Himeji for one night. Tomo-san is a great host, and made sure that we felt at home. If you have questions don't hesitate to ask him. Everything in the guesthouse is very well thought through. If you're looking for a good place to stay in Himeji, this is it.

    I almost always stay here when I come to Himeji. It's cheap, relaxing and has a unique vibe. The hostel is really close to Himeji Castle and fairly close to the art museum too, which made it perfect for me and most other tourists.

    An adorable little guesthouse run by a charming Japanese man and his family. They were incredibly helpful and hospitable, and had a host of suggestions for us to make the most of our brief stay, including sharing his supplies so we could enjoy the local bath house. Very attentive hosts! Himeji isn't a bustling metropolis so we enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere of the local neighbourhood. Excellent location, a short walk to the main sights and Himeji station. Thank you again Tomo-san!
