She knows all the local knowledge and can tell you all about many things. The cats are very cute and she keeps the house very clean even with all the cats!

This guest house offers a garden, a bar, as well as a shared lounge. The accommodation provides a shared kitchen and luggage storage space for guests. It's a very cute guesthouse with the most welcoming hosts. The guesthouse is located right next to a little secret path to the sea and next to a little seaside town with amazing rock formations and views. I was travelling without a car and the public transport is a little difficult, so the hosts always made sure that I can get to places without any issues.

Guest House Yonemuraya 2 stars

Matsue

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.

Shimane Museum of Ancient Izumo is 35 km from the guest house and Izumo-Taisha Grand Shrine is 36 km away. The guesthouse is located in a very sleepy town, so I didn't expect there would be much to do other than go to bed. Instead, I had one of the best nights of my trip! The workers and guests I met in the common area were great fun and we all stayed up late talking and playing board games.
