I used it for bike touring.It is a little far from the center of Himeji, and it takes about 10 minutes on foot from the nearest station.It was very helpful that we were able to store our luggage and motorcycle before check-in.Motorcycles can be parked under the eaves in the back parking lot or in front of the hotel.There was also a large public bath, so it was nice to be able to relax and stretch out my tired legs.I stayed in a smoking room, but I didn't notice the slightest smell of cigarettes.The room was also clean and I had a comfortable stay.There was a convenience store and a 24-hour cheap supermarket nearby, so I didn't have any trouble shopping.Recommended for touring use.

There are many good things about it, such as free parking, large public bath, location, and free rice (although you bring your own side dishes). It's a blessing to be able to stay in the 5,000 yen range in this day and age. I had a good impression of the staff who guided me to the parking lot.Inside the building, the sounds from the rooms can be heard all the way to the hallway. This may be difficult for nervous people, as they don't have disposable slippers.

Only used when it is absolutely necessary to stay overnight. Parking is free and helpful. There is no water service, but you can buy it from the vending machine inside the hotel. There were only students and male customers.

2024.8 I stayed in a single non-smoking room.Guest roomLarge and small towels, disposable slippers, and disinfectant spray provided. Bring necessary items such as toothbrushes, hotel clothes, razors, and tea bags from the lobby.BathhouseWomen can enter with a password, so it's safe. Facial cleansing foam, tissues, hair dryer, razor, comb, cotton swabs, water cooler, and one washing machine are provided. There is no lotion etc. 4 washing areas.You can hear everything from the next room, and you can also hear it from the hallway. Be careful of the volume. I was also concerned about the sound of cars.When I lifted the futon, there was long pubic hair. feel ill. It's the worst.There is one elevator. 1 microwave in the lobby. I'll wait.The customer service of the male staff member who directed us to the parking lot was excellent, but I was concerned about the smell of cigarettes in the elevator and the lack of cleaning. Pubic hair is definitely not allowed!

good pointsFree parkingClose to convenience storeLow prices even during the Obon seasonBad pointsNoisy (Road noise can be heard in rooms facing the road)Noisy (other guests come and go throughout the night. You can hear the sound of something hitting the wall)Noisy (my room was in front of the elevator, but I woke up every hour due to noise)Items that appear to be women's underwear are found inside the elevator.A key was inserted into my room door at 6am and I tried to open it.I stayed for 2 consecutive days, but I was seriously sleep deprived.Maybe because it's cheap, I feel like the guests have bad manners.It was a bit disappointing
