応援したくなる町家風ゲストハウス

コロナ禍で外国人観光客をはじめ他の宿泊客が居ない貸切状態でした。昔ながらの町家を改装された手造り感あふれる内装で、黒光りする柱が印象的な古民家風ゲストハウスです。オーナーさんが気さくな方で、初対面にもかかわらず話に花が咲きました。名前の通りガハハと笑いました。

丁度、西日本豪雨災害に遭遇し姫路に缶詰になりましたが、たいへん快適な滞在でした。親切なオーナーの女性とは旅や今までの来し方等、様々な話ができ楽しいひと時でした。居合わせた各国の人たちともオーナーを中心に良い時間を持ちました。ありがとうございました。また是非、泊まりたいです。

Close to Himeji Castle

Great for a short stay to visit Himeji Castle. It’s close to the castle which opens at 9:00 so you can sleep in a bit and still get to the castle for 9:00 when it opens if you want to avoid the crowds.
