Warm and welcoming guest houses are ideal for travellers who prefer unfussy accommodation with a personal touch. They are usually family-run, and your host will provide local recommendations and optional meals. Often cheaper than regular hotels, guest houses can also feature a cosy living room and a garden.
The room was traditional and surprisingly large. The location very near to the train station was great and the food was lovely. We were served a wonderful steamed fish dish for dinner along with a delicious sake tasting. The host really made us feel welcome. Tsuwano is a real gem, and I would totally recommend Hoshi Ryokan.
Authentic old building, great decorations with old movie posters and lanterns. Room was large with lovely tatami and screens. Shared bathrooms were plentiful and clean. Friendly hostess. Good breakfast and dinner. Good value. Very close to the train station. Great cultural experience with traditional musical instrument lesson and calligraphy gift. Loved the town of Tsuwano.
This is a family owned ryokan and the hosts lady was super nice. She met us at a train station since she knew our train arrival time. That was a nice surprise. The ryokan itself is quite close to the station a couple of minutes walk away from the main town street. Tsuwano is a nice little town and you could easily spend a half or full day there. We had a half board arrangement and it was a blast - full set Japanese dinner with a sake tasting and equally complete Japanese breakfast. Tremendous value and reception! Highly recommend!
Wonderful staff - not much English but they have a translating machine which was great. They were so welcoming and couldn't do enough for you. They created a calm and peaceful atmosphere in this traditional old guest house, well situated in this lovely little town. Fabulous Japanese style breakfasts.
The hostess was very kind and accommodating. The place was old but well maintained and full of character, while the bath and toilet were new and clean. The food was plentiful and very delicious. The room was very quiet and comfortable, overlooking a small Japanese garden.
