very convenient hotel, 1 minute walk away from himeji station. luggage storage available before and after check out so you can ditch your bags and go enjoy the castle! staff were extremely friendly and accommodating even letting us check in 2 hours early.

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.

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!

The hotel's location is perfect. It's adjacent to shopping areas and within walking distance of Himeji Castle. The breakfast is substantial. Parking was also convenient and reasonably priced at 700 yen.

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.

Fantastic 5.0
It was divided into the East Wing and the West Wing, and I stayed in the East Wing. The East Wing itself was too cold, and the hallway from the elevator to the room was not heated. I went to use the coin laundry in the West Wing, and the West Wing was very warm as soon as I got off the elevator. I went back and forth several times for laundry, and they were all Japanese. In the East Wing where I stayed, I only met us and Chinese guests. I want to believe that we were not the only ones assigned a room in such a cold place. The desk staff were all friendly. I chose this place because of the hot springs and free parking. The hot springs had many baths and even a mist sauna. Many customers came just for the hot springs. There was plenty of parking, which was convenient.

The room is larger than a typical Toyko Inn hotel room. The location is at the south exit of the station, which is very convenient. There is a parking lot, and coffee and ice are provided. There are many business travelers. The cleanliness level is normal, and the location is good.

Value and convenient! The price of this ticket is just a round trip between Osaka city and KIX airport by Haruka train, but it also allows you to travel on any other regular JR service in four days! You can get to Kyoto, Nara, Kobe, Wakayama. it is just of great value.

Fantastic 5.0
The JR Pass is excellent value! We only waited about 5 minutes in line at the Kansai Airport counter, and the staff immediately helped us reserve seats on the Haruka train. From queuing to boarding, it took just 15 minutes in total. It's fantastic to have unlimited rides on the Hello Kitty Shinkansen and trips to Hiroshima included. For a 5-day pass focused on the Kansai area, it offers extremely high value. The only downside is that it doesn't cover Nozomi or Mizuho Shinkansen services between Kyoto and Osaka/Shin-Osaka. However, the Thunderbird limited express train that operates on the same route is also very comfortable and pleasant."
