Himeji Station Front Universal Hotel South Entrance

My first trip to Himeji. Amazing value for money. I happened to have a Room on the same floor as the bath, which was great. You can hear some train noise, but the Room is spacious and the food is delicious. It’s right by the station, too. The view was also nice—a train view. The male staff member at the front desk was pleasant as well. I sometimes go to Kobe, but Hotel prices are high and availability is limited, so I even thought it might be worth coming by train to Himeji instead, doing some sightseeing, and staying overnight here.

Breakfast and dinner included, plus a large public bath at this price!!On this motorcycle trip—Himeji, Kurashiki, Hiroshima (now), Yonago, and back to Himeji—we’ve been staying at Universal Hotel the whole way!!
