Tatsuno Mitsu Roadside Station Hotels

"Rooms were clean and a good size. The public bath was fantastic with indoor and outdoor hot spring, sauna, and cold plunge. Location very convenient to train station and Himeji Castle. There were some decent izakaya nearby. Morning yogurt and evening ice cream and ramen great touches. "

"Nice, spacious room. Early check-in allowed (a rarity in Japan!) Small but functional onsen. All in all well worth it."

"I made the very bad mistake of booking a smoking room without realizing it. At check-in the hotel was almost fully booked, disaster. The check-in people found a simple room in exchange, they went out of their way to help. Big thanks!"

"Hotel a bit dated"

"Absolutely value for money. I had no breakfast and therefore not in a position to make a comment."

"Staff was very helpful and friendly. The room was very clean and well equipped. Exactly what I wanted for a one night stay"

"Staff is very polite & helpful, but the room needs sofa"

"Tatsuno is a charming, former samurai town that is easily explored on foot. We were in the area to visit the Hijemi Castle, and were very happy to be in Tatsuno, away from the bustle of tourists. The machiya is large, beautiful, elegant, and very comfortable...we could spread out and relax. We loved our short stay in the refurbished traditional home. As designers, we appreciated the architecture and tasteful decor. The traditional bathroom, with soaking tub, had lovely amenities. The garden is a delight. We had a great stroll around town and visited both the castle and the Shoyu Museum, which was very interesting. Would highly recommend Villa Kurasu. Beautiful home, host/innkeeper was very nice. It's challenging to get a taxi/driver, so if you don't have a car, be prepared to walk to the train station."
