Hostels in Shimane Prefecture, Japan

The hotel is located near Matsue station. The front desk agents were very polite and did their best to talk to me, despite my very broken Japanese. Guests are given a locker, protected by a keycard. The locker itself was good enough for me, who took only a conventional backpack and a pair of shoes, but might not be enough for those who are not traveling light like that. The bathrooms were shared and quite clean, fully furnished with amenities for showers and personal hygiene. WiFi was included and it was quite decent for general use, even when inside the shared bedroom. The bed capsule had a pillow and a blanket, lights and power outlets for phones. I had more space than I imagined, enough for me to sit on the bed. The only downside of this room type was air circulation, probably due to the hot climate that's been the standard here in Japan lately, but I think the fans could work more efficiently or the capsules could use an AC outlet. Other than that, I recommend this location and will certainly stay with them again.

Nicely situated in the centre of one of the two main streets in Yunotsu. I stayed in the bottom capsule which is much more spacious than the top capsule since you get space to put your belongings. Kitchen was equipped with basic condiments like soy sauce and cooking oil. There is a coin laundry facility in the adjoining building - 500 yen for wash and 100 yen per 10 mins of drying. The only concern I had was with the check in process, which luckily for me I was informed about before by reading the reviews. Check in is at Kazeto, another hotel around 5 mins walk away from Watowa. This can be troublesome for guests arriving by foot as you’ll need to backtrack to Kazeto if mistakenly arriving at Watowa first. Staff at check in were helpful and friendly (English speaking) and provided ample information about the facilities and attractions in Yunotsu and surrounds.

全室海が見える。バスルームは清潔。歯ブラシアメニティは有料て300円。簡易キッチンと2ドア冷蔵庫あり簡単な料理ならできてしまうし、保冷必要な物あっても保管できる。調味料は基本的なものあり。特筆すべきはコーヒー豆とミルがありコーヒー好きなら嬉しい。 隣の部屋のイビキが聞こえるほど壁が薄い。 コンセント多く、電子機器充電に全く困らない。 朝食は1300円だったかな。普通のぽかったのでスーパーで買ったサンドイッチなどで部屋飯にしましたが、前述のコーヒーがあり満足。夕食は併設のご飯屋さんで二人で少し呑んで12,000円ほど。休日ならココは予約必須。結構外からの客も入ってきます。風情のある温泉地でそれも素晴らしく、温泉行くためのサンダルやタオルキットなどある。 駐車場が少ないのがかなりきつい。宿泊客も飲食の客もみんな車なので満車になる。この点で点数は悪くなる。こんな辺鄙なとこで宿泊客なのに駐車場難民は気分が悪くなりました。 他は素晴らしいだけにぜひ改善よろしく
