The hotel was conveniently located near the train station, making it easy to go out for dinner. It was also close to Himeji Castle, so I could take a walk after dinner and see the illuminated castle. Amenities were available at the front desk, and you could take what you needed. I especially liked the soft toothbrush. Overall, the room was clean.

This hotel is conveniently located right outside the south exit of Himeji Station, offering friendly service and luggage storage. The rooms are like new, with mattresses that are just the right firmness. The bathtubs are deep and long, with excellent water pressure, and DHC amenities and a powerful hairdryer are provided. Complimentary bottled water is offered in the room, along with a coffee maker and tea bags. The excellent location makes getting around extremely easy, with a wide variety of dining and shopping options nearby. The guest rooms are well-equipped, clean, and comfortable, and check-out time is 12:00 PM. Using the Setouchi Area Rail Pass in conjunction with your stay will save you time and make traveling around the area even more convenient.

Night ramen and breakfast are on the 2nd floor, and the hot spring is on the 12th floor (with popsicles/Yakult). The hotel staff is very enthusiastic and greets you kindly (without any signs of burnout). The most amazing thing was that the staff helped to push the luggage into the room!

Location: Close to the station, but a bit of a walk to the main shopping area (maybe 6 minutes on foot?).
Cleanliness: Relatively clean. I booked a twin room for around $30 USD on Klook, so even if it were a little dirty, I wouldn't have minded.

very good price JR region pass that we can catch All High speed trains between Shin-Osaka and Okayama with free reserved seats. moreover we can travel to Takamatsu , Amanohashidate and Kinosakionsen within 5 days.

It's super easy to use today; just use the card and you can redeem it at the automatic machine. Just show the QR code and scan your passport, then select the start date. It's very convenient now and worth it. Just traveling to Hiroshima alone makes it worth it, especially riding the Shinkansen.

We got the Kansai Railway Pass and it was one of the best decisions for this trip. We were able to visit Kyoto, Nara, and Kobe without worrying about separate tickets or complicated fares. The trains were frequent, easy to follow, and the pass made traveling between each city super hassle-free. It’s a great value, especially if you plan to explore multiple areas in Kansai. Definitely recommending this pass to other travelers.

Sanyo Sanin pass was very great and easy to use when traveling in Kanto region. we have used it on our travels all the way from Hiroshima, Himeji and Kobe. Highly recommended it for people who wanted to explore outside of Kyoto and Osaka. Shinkansen was very punctual (unless there are unfortunate events and bad weather conditions). It offered unlimited travel on JR trains, including the shinkansen (except Nozomi/Mizuho), which made moving between cities like Hiroshima, Okayama, and Fukuoka incredibly easy and affordable. I saved a lot compared to buying individual tickets, and the convenience of just hopping on and off trains with a pass was unbeatable.
