It's far from the station, desolate, old, and the rooms are small.Because of that, it's reasonably priced, and the users are happy with it, so it feels like they don't have to worry about it or cause any inconvenience to them.Being close to a super public bath is a big plus.

Some key points: NOT disability accessibleShared showers, separated by genderShared toiletsRoom has a sinkRoom has an airconDespite arriving 5 minutes until final check in, I was greeted kindly. The attendant's English is good, but it's always better to know some Japanese.I am staying here for a night as a foreign student on my way to Tokushima.Unfortunately, it's noisy because of the shared bathroom and because the doors shut heavily on their own. It's not because the guests are being noisy on purpose.The building is old but lovingly cared for and clean. They offered me a towel since i didn't think to bring my own for the shower, and have shampoo and bodywash available in the stall.They also have some pitchers of water and an electric tea kettle out for shared use, and a small refrigerator.It's only a 10 minute walk from the station, and less than 5 from a Family Mart and Nakau (A chain udon and soba place).I got the traditional-style room and the attendant kindly showed me how to make a futon. It's small (3 tatami mats) but could comfortably house 2 people. Traveling alone, it's plenty for a low-cost night's stay without any frills or extras.As long as you're okay with shared common areas, the price tag is absolutely worth it. I will stay again if I'm visiting the area.

They were very kind.The room was clean and I had a comfortable stay.Since it was a hot season, just a shower was enough.

I checked in nervously as I was using a guest house for the first time in a while.I was greeted by a bright and cheerful man with a very smiley face, and when I lost the discounted bath ticket I had purchased, he kindly dealt with my problem by turning on lights around the area and on the road and carefully searching for it with me. After experiencing the "humane service" that is different from the hotels I usually use, I realized that guesthouses are good too...^_^The post station is a 10-minute walk from the station, and there are interesting bars, beaches, and bathhouses nearby.Showers and toilets are shared, but each room can be locked securely, so you can stay with peace of mind.What I found very interesting was that the front desk staff videotaped the check-in process and kept a record of the check-in process, and also made it possible to remotely check who left the room when checking out. very wonderfulThere are many different styles of guesthouses, but this was the one that made me want to come back again.

It is conveniently located facing National Route 2, about a 10-minute walk from Tarumi Station. It is close to Azure Maiko (Maiko Park), and you can also go to the super public bath Taihei no Yu in about 5 minutes on foot. I was able to purchase a discount ticket for Taihei no Yu for 750 yen. On Saturdays and Sundays, the regular price is 1000 yen, so it was 25% off!The room I stayed in was a bunk bed room, but it was a private room with a lock. It may be that they usually share a room, but it is unconfirmed. The room had a sink and a closet where I could store my luggage, so I had more room than I expected. There is a small folding desk and cushions, so you can buy meals at Aeon stores in front of Tarumi Station.There are many restaurants near Tarumi Station, so you can eat at Taihei-no-Yu or use Family Mart and Naka-U, which are within walking distance.There is also a microwave, water heater, and refrigerator/freezer in the common area. I was fishing the night before, so having a freezer was helpful.It's a bit old due to age, but considering the price, it's good enough. Although I didn't use it this time, there is also a shower room, so next time I'll skip Taihei no Yu, which is crowded on weekends, and use the shower instead.Tarumi Station is also a stop for JR rapid trains and Sanyo Electric Railway limited express trains, making it a suitable base for sightseeing to places like Kobe, Akashi, and Himeji!The sunset view of Akashi Kaikyo Bridge from Maiko Park is spectacular. Please come and visit us.There are several guesthouses in the Akashi area from Kobe, but we recommend this one because it has a spacious living space, you can enjoy the seaside view, and the surrounding environment is good!

Very well located, 10 minutes walk from the station and shops.Next to the seaside, the beach with a view of Akashi Bridge.The staff is very kind, very helpful and does everything to make you feel good.The common areas are very clean, toilets on each floor, a sink in the room.We spent 2 weeks in a traditional family room with 2 children.It felt like home.The quality/price ratio is great! I highly recommend you!

My family of 4 used it. I used it for an overnight stay en route to my destination.It's a simple hotel with a very clean feel. The staff's response was very pleasant.Although the equipment feels old, it is well maintained and I felt comfortable using it.WiFi is available.The toilet is outside the room and shared by both men and women. There is a wash basin in the room.There are no amenities. It's a simple hotel.There are no baths, but shared showers for men and women are available 24 hours a day.There is also a super public bath within a 3-minute walk, so I used that this time. The super public bath was easy to reach even with children's feet, and it was a spacious and comfortable facility.Adult tickets can be purchased at a discount at the hotel.You can faintly hear other guests. Also the sound of running water. Since we had children with us, we were careful not to make as much noise as possible, but I wonder how the sounds in our house were heard.The staff was so nice!I felt that they were working hard to make their customers feel comfortable!

I used it with my children. It's about 10 minutes from the station, and it's flat and easy to navigate, so even young children can walk there. It's very convenient as there are sandy beaches, hot spring facilities, Hoshino Coffee Shop, Nakau, and convenience stores within a 5-minute walk. The older brother and older sister at the reception were kind and helpful with the children. I will use them again.
