Set in Matsue, less than 1 km from Lafcadio Hearn Memorial Museum, KIAN the guest house near the castle has a garden, private parking and rooms with free WiFi access.

Excellent tatami room in a guesthouse in Matsue. It is close to Matsue Castle and well connected to other areas, including Matsue Station, by bus. There are some great restaurants about 10 minutes’ walk away and a nice bakery close by for breakfast. Emi-san is an exceptional host who is very welcoming and gives great advice to help you enjoy your stay. I would absolutely recommend.

Situated within 8.1 km of Mizuki Shigeru Road and 15 km of Lafcadio Hearn Memorial Museum, COCORETO The Guesthouse Daikon Island features rooms with air conditioning and a shared bathroom in Matsue.

The owner is the most kind and considerate gentleman I have ever met. He went out of his way twice to return lost items to me, He always has a lovely smile on his face and is very nice to chat to. He even went out of his way to translate an english version of the local restaurants menu for use for guests. The beds were super comfy, the kitchen area is well stocked for any use you may have, the toilet and shower area are clean as is the communal area.

    Yuji, our host, was very helpful and welcoming. We had some very good conversations with him. Also, he kindly offered to give us a lift to the train/bus station to save us a 30 minute walk which we gratefully accepted. We virtually had the Guesthouse to ourselves with only one other guest there whom we hardly ever saw. We would stay here again if we came back.

    Our host was so wonderful. So helpful and kind and has very good English which was great for help in understanding the area including the local onsen and temples. Our host was very easy to contact and was a great help with organising transport, shopping. The house is in a quiet area with beautiful well kept gardens and the natural landscape has such beauty. Lovely spacious home with long views to Matsue and the mountains.

    Friendly staff, quiet area and very comfortable amenities. Four outlets to a bunk, shower stalls and toilets all reasonable size. Nicest bunk mattress I’ve had in years. Been to many hostels in Japan and this was one of the most comfortable.

    It was a great experience to live in a Japanese house. The house is clean and spacious, beautifully decorated, and fully equipped with daily needs. I also loved the quaint garden at the back of the house. The host is extremely hospitable and helpful too!

    The host was extremely polite and helpful. I wouldn't be able to continue my bike touring journey without his help - for which I'm still deeply thankful. I hope you've got your rope back through the mail! Great couple of food options nearby and the neighbourhood is quiet. There is a garage with tools which was a wonderful addition for a biker.

    Definitely one of the nicest capsule hotels or hostels I've stayed in. The female-only bedroom was quiet and well-ventilated, the shared bath/shower/locker facilities were clean and comfortable, and the location is conveniently just a few minutes' walk from the train station. Breakfast was also good with a nice selection of Japanese and Western foods.
