Himeji 588 Guest House
670-0012 Hyogo, Himeji, Honmachi 68 Honmachi Shopping Avenue, Japan – Excellent location - show map
Best location possible for Himeji: directly between Himeji station and the castle grounds. You can walk under covered streets the whole way if it's raining. The owner is super nice, even gave us some free cake! It's 100 yen to rent a towel, but I feel that's reasonable. Of course it is hostel-style so the quality of your sleep is reliant on the other guests but everyone who was there when we went was nice and quiet at night.
Located on a lively traditional shopping arcade, Himeji 588 Guest House features affordable Japanese-style accommodations. Free WiFi is available and guests can watch DVDs on the flat-screen TV in the shared lounge. JR Himeji Train Station is a 10-minute walk away.
