She owns several cats, some of whom wander around the first floor area, but everything is still so clean. The guesthouse is close to the station and very clean too. Very useful kitchen for anyone to use if they want to cook for themselves. Overall, I would love to stay there again!

Guest House Yonemuraya offers accommodation in central Matsue, 5 minutes walk from Matsue Castle. Free WiFi is featured throughout the property and private parking is available on site. Matsue Station is 15 minutes on foot or a 5 minute taxi ride away.

Guest house Yonemuraya was a pleasant surprise. It was so much better than staying at a hotel, as it felt like a more authentic Japanese experience. I travelled to Matsue for a conference at Kunibike Messe convention centre and this was only a short walk away. Emi-San was an excellent host, helping me with finding place for dinner, sightseeing and shopping ideas when I had time off work. There was a lively restaurant area nearby, and the train station, castle etc were within walking distance.

    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!

    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.

    A great hostel with lovely facilities. There is a kitchen, a common living room and an outdoor area where you can smoke. It's an easy 10 min walk from Matsue train station and only 5 minutes from the entertainment district. There is a nice restaurant beside the entrance to the hostel. The ladies dorm has 6 beds and you are provided with a door code for the front and room door. There is a quiet time imposed from 11pm.
