This is a very special guesthouse, standing for 200 years. It has been very well maintained and refurbished. It has been stylishly decorated, while maintaining its original charm. Guests can use the lounge area that looks onto a small courtyard which is very tranquil and the perfect place to chill. It offers a lot more space than usually available in Japan, with modern facilities for shower. Special commendation to Oki who has been extremely welcoming and helpful from the start, and throughout my stay. Their breakfast are truly exceptional. The almond butter toast is the best I've ever tasted and having a small bowl of soup in the morning is so warming. It is located directly in the merchants quarter, and close to the bus stop. There are very few people, so it's amazing to walk down the historic street and soaking in the atmosphere of ancient Japan, in peace and quiet, especially in the evenings.

Staff - Friendly and attentive. There was a lovely lady who remembers us and would check in on us on our stay and breakfast choice. Location - Pretty convenient. Lots of malls nearby so food and shopping are easily accessible. Room - Super spacious. The standout is definitely the bathtub - the best ever had!! Interior wise, you can tell this building has been around for a while, which depending on your taste see it as dated or grand. We see it as a plus because we don't see this sort of interior much, and it's a nice change!

Our stay was genuinely enjoyable thanks to a mix of thoughtful amenities and charming design. - The location was incredibly convenient - perfect for exploring the area and just a short walk to the nearby onsen. - The building itself has a cool heritage vibe, beautifully maintained and full of character. - Our room was both private and spacious, offering a level of comfort that made it easy to relax - Parking was a breeze: all-day access for just 1000 yen, and the hotel even arranged pickup and drop-off from the carpark. - The staff were fantastic - friendly and proactive. They helped us arrange luggage delivery to our next hotel, which made our travel much smoother.

Amenities were high quality and skin care lotions all provided for a full onsen and ryokan experience. Yakatas were beautiful and sizes for whole family. We really enjoyed the traditional Japan experience and beautiful tatami room with amazing view of the mountains. We wanted to stay another night.

Kobe being a little smaller than Kyoto and Osaka, seems a little more relaxed. It is close enough to Osaka and Hiroshima to do a day trip and has a lot of unexpected surprises, like waterfalls located 15 minutes walk behind San Kobe station. There are also a number of Ropeways and Cable Cars that take you up to the hiking trails in the mountains behind Kobe. The waterfront area is also very interesting, with an earthquake museum, which details the restoration of the Kobe Harbour after an earthquake, in just 2 years. There is also a nightly light and water show near the Kobe Tower.

After staying in Kyoto, it was refreshing to stay in a smaller, quieter city for a couple of days. Himeji, had ample malls and restaurants to satisfy the needs of all tourists and yet has a nice small city feel. We saw the castle in the afternoon, and didn't encounter large crowds. The Koko-en Garden was relatively quiet when we saw it in the morning.

Kinosaki onsen is a charming small town. Most of the tourists were Japanese who come to the hot springs. Most people are dressed in traditional yukatas and walk around the town in them and wooden sandals. We also took a short train ride to Takeno Beach a beautiful beach on the sea of Japan.

I visited the theme park Nijigen No Morii with Naruto and Dragonquest Island and both was amazing. Ill definitely come Back to the Park. It's a bit tricky to get around with the local (limited) buses as there run only about once every hour so a rental car ist the better option. From Iwaya Port theres a Shuttle bus to Nijigen No Morii and the hello Kitty sites, it's free and stops on a couple of sites along the route. The Shuttle operates from 10am to 9pm.

Amagasaki is a great 'real' town so close to Osaka, but with its own character. We saw a diverse mix of people from all walks of life. Working class, business people, skateboarders, old people playing ukelele in the park. There is a nice old shopping street which is not to be missed. Some good old 'Showa' era coffee shops. We didn't get to do half the things we planned. Will be back!

Located in Hyogo Prefecture along the Seto Inland Sea,...

Located in Hyogo Prefecture along the Seto Inland Sea, Akashi is a charming coastal city known for its outstanding seafood and relaxed atmosphere. While it may not be as famous as nearby Kobe or Osaka, Akashi offers a deliciously authentic experience that’s hard to beat. One of the city’s signature dishes is Akashiyaki—soft, egg-rich dumplings filled with tender octopus. Unlike Osaka’s takoyaki, Akashiyaki is gently dipped in warm dashi broth, highlighting the freshness of the seafood. Akashi is especially known for its high-quality octopus (madako). Thanks to the area’s fast tidal currents, the octopus here grows firm and flavorful, making it a prized ingredient across Japan. Local fish markets also showcase an incredible selection of fresh anago (conger eel) and Akashi-dai (sea bream), straight from the surrounding waters. Whether you enjoy sushi, grilled fish, or something uniquely local, Akashi will leave you more than satisfied. It’s the perfect spot for travelers who want to explore Japan’s culinary diversity beyond the big cities. Discover Akashi—where the sea meets tradition, and every bite tells a story.
