Shironoshita Guesthouse, hotel in Himeji

Shironoshita Guesthouse offers accommodation in Himeji. Each room is equipped with a shared bathroom. Shironoshita Guesthouse features free WiFi throughout the property. A flat-screen TV is offered.

We had a wonderful stay at the Shironoshita guesthouse. Tomo-san is a great host, and everything is perfectly organized and clean. The location of the guesthouse is also perfect, within walking distance to the Himeji castle, restaurants, a convenience store as well as a local train station very close. Also the breakfast was very delicious. We can definitely recommend it.

Located on a lively traditional shopping arcade, Himeji 588 Guest House features affordable Japanese-style accommodations.

The place is on the way of the Castle when you arrive from the Train station. So it's really easy to find. The people were really nice, and we had no problems with our luggages.

    The onsen experience was really good. It was a little daunting as the boys and my daughter hadn't been before, but it wasn't hard to work things out. It is however, primarily for and used by locals. The twin share room was a good size, although priced to match.

    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.

    Tomo-san was a great host. Everything in the space was well organised and clean and considered. The accommodation is a short walk to a local train line, and within 10 minutes walk to the castle entrance.
