Hostels in Hyogo Prefecture, Japan

This was the accommodation I chose to visit Himeji Castle. The facilities were clean, and each bedroom had a TV, so I could even watch Japanese programs. There was also a co-working space available, and both the accommodation and the co-working area had manga that you could freely read. It’s only about a 5-minute walk from the station, which is very convenient, and about 5 minutes by bus to Himeji Castle. I also visited Kokoen Garden next to the castle, and during the spring season, it’s open at night as well—so after enjoying the night view, I could easily return to the accommodation. 히메지 성을 보러 가기 위해 선택한 숙소였어요 시설은 깨끗하고 침실마다 TV도 있어 일본 방송도 볼 수 있었어요 코워킹 공간도 이용할 수 있었고, 숙소와 코워킹 공간에는 만화책도 있어서 자유롭게 볼 수 있어요 역에서 걸어서 5분거리로 엄청 가깝고 히메지 성과는 버스로 5분 거리에요 히메지 성 옆 코코엔(일본정원)도 구경하고 요즘 봄 시즌에는 야간 개장도 해서 관람 후 숙소로 편하게 도착할 수 있었어요

Loved this nice little place. Excellent location right near the Nada station and bus 92. My private room was larger than expected, great AC, opposite the showers and toilet. Most important the bed was very comfortable! There is a train passing by now and then. I didn’t bother and slept well. There are free earplugs available. If you can sleep in a train, you won’t have any problem to sleep here. On the 1F a kitchen, relax and meetup area. Great to meet and talk with the other guests. Staff was excellent, very welcoming, in English 🙃.

the food is most generous and sumptous, and very high standard. We stayed in couple room with a private onsen tub. This make our stay most memorable as my wife was recovering from a major surgery. When we request the staff to add another layer to the futon mattress, he told us to do it on our own since the futon are in the room. When we told him that my wife is unable to do so due to the surgey, he oblidge to our request but unhappily. Apart from this unpleasant encounter, we decided to return again to this place.

Everything was good, but when I tried to pay the additional amount when checking out, they told me to pay even the room price I paid in advance when making the reservation, saying it was a 'tax'. After 5 minutes of us checking and finding out, they suddenly said to themselves, ”Oh,” and told me the amount to pay again. It was so At first, I thought it was a mistake, but when I thought about it, I saw that in Japan, even for small mistakes, they apologize repeatedly and say Moshiwake Gozaimasu, but the employee never said a single word of gomennasai. Are we Mistake? So, I guess we just said Hi My Steak and that because we are foreigners, we tried to eat the cash by ourselves, but if you read the review, don't live such a pitiful life. Really. And if you are a foreigner who wants to go here, beware of the guy wearing glasses who looks like the manager.

A nice and clean budget stay. Nice staff service. Happy to find a nice and clean microwave oven when I just needed one. All guests are civilized in all aspects. No noise at all at night although many clients sharing a same room. In summary, a nice and comfortable one-night short stay for me.

One of the cheaper options in Kinosaki Onsen. The rooms are clean and functional. The biggest downside was the water pump right outside of our window, which could be heard the whole night. The shared facilities were generally well equipped, but we missed a washing machine to do our laundry.

It’s probably the best accommodation in that little rural area. Very nice and clean. Only setback is the stairway up to the rooms was very steep. Also the bathrooms are on the lower level therefore taking a shower/bath is not as convenient. Fortunately there were toilets upstairs.

This is an inn, not hotel. Expect to share bathroom and toilet if the other room is booked and owner imposed a curfew between 11pm and 7am, no good for families, lone traveller maybe.

This is a very cost-effective youth hostel in Kinosaki Onsen Town. The hot spring town is relatively small, so it doesn't matter where you stay. The room is in the form of tatami and you have to make your own bed. When I checked in, there were only two people in the room including me, and my roommate was relatively quiet, which was nice. There is no floor heating in the public areas of the hotel, so it is quite cold. There are two toilets and two washbasins in total. When I used it, it was a coincidence that I didn't see anyone else and didn't have to queue. There is only one bathroom, on the first floor. I didn't use it because I went to the public hot spring. There is also a small kitchen on the first floor where you can simply heat up rice balls or something.

Unfortunately they were not able to communicate in English. For our second night they ask us to take breakfast @ 8 am
