The owners are the best. They make you feel very welcomed, the place is nicely decorated, they put a lot of love into it. It's close to a JR station, walking distance from the castle.

A wonderful experience that you won´t get in a Japanese hotel.

Tomo and his family are awesome. They are the perfects hosts and you immediately feel very welcome in their lovely guest house. Tomo has everything worked out. There is a nice community room, where you have a chance to write postcards (or look at all the lovely guest books with reviews from other guests from your or other countries) or get in touch with the other guests. He also has a list of restaurants and the Okonomiyake restaurant round the corner was great. We had a fantastic stay and when we travel to Japan again, this little guest house will be on our list to visit again. The room was big and Tomo explained well how to get the Japanese beds ready. Sleeping on a traditional Japanese Futon was a really nice experience. The breakfast was a real bargain and very tasty. One day we got the traditional almond toast, on another day we had ham toast and a joghurt. The green tea was really nice. And for a small fee you can even wash your laundry there. AWESOME!!!

Friendly, comfortable with great opportunity to get together with guests from a range of countries

Tomo San was a friendly host. The facility was a bit further out of the town activity centre but still easy to access. Breakfast was good and the ability to socialize with other guests around the kitchen table was a great plus. Again - shoes off at door. Can honestly recommend to anyone who can integrate into a guest house environment.

Nice host family, very good place to return many times

Really very nice stay, the host family is very nice and attentive to details, so our stay was very comfortable. Very clean and easy, there is everything one needs and excellent breakfast. The location is perfect for sightseeing in Himeji. Very good typical Japanese food close by.

Thank you!

The house was was very clean, comfortable and well organized. A special mention goes to Tomo-san, my boyfriend and I suffered from food poisoning and weren't able to move to the next location, Tomo-san let us stay one more day even though that day was a festivity and the guesthouse was supposed to be closed. He really saved us and showed us what is the meaning of hospitality and generosity. I can only reccomand Shironoshita Guesthouse for all those who want to experience the true Japanese hospitality and warmth.
