4-Star Hotels in Shimane Prefecture, Japan

"A very beautiful courtyard-style hot spring hotel; the Japanese-style room I booked was more spacious than I expected. The hotel environment is beautiful, and the hot spring is comfortable. The staff are warm, attentive, and provide meticulous service. The breakfast and dinner were of very high quality!"

"✅ 3-minute walk from Shimane-Matsue Station ✅ Check-in is on the 2nd floor. There are three machines that can be used for check-in and also exchange for 100 yen coins. ✅ A small gift bag of slippers for children is provided upon check-in. ✅ Water bottles are provided in the rooms. You can refill your water bottle on the 3rd floor. There is also an unmanned vending machine on the 3rd floor with a microwave. ✅ Both men's and women's public baths have washing machines. However, the password for the women's public bath changes daily; please pick it up at the front desk. ✅ Public bath hours: 15:00-24:00 / 6:00-10:00 00 ✅ The front desk staff are all young and provide excellent service. Although their English isn't great, they are very friendly. If you speak English too fast, the staff might not understand you, so it's recommended to use a simple translator to translate it into Japanese and show them the screen. ✅ Check-in is at 2 PM, and check-out is at 11 AM. If you want to check out before 2 PM, it costs an extra $1000 yen per hour. ✅ The hotel reminds guests to close the bathroom door when showering to prevent steam from affecting the smoke detector and igniting the fire extinguisher. ✅ The room rate is really cheap. I saw it on Ctrip. The room is 29 square meters. My room cost $79.19 and $91.20 per night. I once booked a room for less than $72 per night, but I canceled it. ✅ Overall, everything was great. The location is great, and the price is exceptionally high, except the pillows aren't very comfortable. 💠There aren't many places to visit in Matsue, so I recommend staying near the station. Even if you don't know how to use public transportation, you can take a bus from the station and back. It's really difficult to hail a taxi on the street. Uber exists, but you can never get one. In the sweltering 35-degree Celsius midday heat, it's unbearably hot! 😭 💠Staying in Matsue allows you to visit Izumo Taisha Shrine, the Adachi Museum of Art in Shimane, and even Yonago and Tottori."

"This hotel is a complete surprise. It's called Jiayun, what a nice name. I didn't have high hopes when I booked it. I saw that it was a 10-minute walk to Izumo Taisha Shrine, with one night for one person and two meals, and the price was right. When I arrived, I found that the whole hotel had been renovated. It is exquisite and tasteful, with perfect details. There are no fake flowers, and the flower arrangements are very clean. The service is even more enthusiastic and proactive. They have the ability to receive foreigners. The staff who sent me to the room and served dinner provided Japanese service without any discounts. They used a translator to translate every sentence. The room was clean, tidy and comfortable. There is a hot spring cypress bathing pool. Now the hot springs with the words ”loan kiri” are all free. There is delicious ramen at 10 pm. The meal is very good at this price. There is no pick-up service. Take the bus from Izumo Station to Izumo Taisha Shrine at 2:30 pm for 30 minutes. Apple navigation is very accurate. Now I am in Jia Suiyuan Minami in Tamatsukuri Onsen. It is too old. Although the price is higher and the reputation is greater, it is completely inferior to Jiayun. It still needs a renovated hotel"

"It takes about 10 to 15 minutes to walk to Izumo Taisha Shrine. Separated from Jiayun by a wall, there are residential buildings nearby and a convenience store diagonally across the road. The most convenient way to get to the station is the bus, but the frequency is infrequent. If you don't take the bus, you can walk 20 minutes to the tram stop on the commercial street. The facilities are very good and new. There are several hot springs. Except for private baths that have to wait, there are not many people bathing in public baths and they are very clean. The children eat several of the unlimited free ice cream every day. The soy sauce ramen served from 10 to 11 pm is very lively with people coming and going, so it is suitable to have a bowl before going to bed after soaking in the soup. There is a coffee machine on the first floor and hand-ground coffee in the room. There are no facilities around except convenience stores at night, and most of the restaurants in front of Izumo Taisha Shrine close at four or five o'clock. In addition to bathing in the hot springs, you can take a walk to the woods in front of Izumo Taisha Shrine in the evening. There are several small green frogs in the wash basin at the entrance of the Taisha Shrine."

"The hotel is in a good location, very close to Ichibata Railway Shinjiko Onsen Station, only two or three minutes' walk away. It is very convenient to take the Ichibata Railway to Izumo Taisha Shrine. The hotel rooms are large, clean and tidy. The buffet breakfast and dinner are very good, including seafood bowls. The hot springs are also good and the baths are very comfortable."

"The only drawback is: 1. Bathing outside, fortunately it is May, I can't imagine how cold winter will be Need to add money to eat and eat dinner at the cattle table Others are very good, with private soup, the scenery is absolutely amazing"

"Expansive hotel. Breakfast is nice but crowded.  Nice ice cream sticks and drinks. Hot Spring is great and clean."

"I was driving myself, so I'm not sure about other public transportation options. The service at check-in was excellent. Being from Hong Kong, I specifically requested a ********* staff member to serve me during meals. They were incredibly attentive, explaining each dish meticulously. On another day at breakfast, this same ********* staff member also arranged for friends and family staying in different rooms to sit together. As for the hot springs, there were different areas and types to choose from. Overall, I was very satisfied with my stay and would definitely come again."

"The design of the room is very bad, if you want to use your own private bath, you have to put on your clothes after taking a shower, and then walk back to the end of the room before walking out to the bath, why is the bathing place not next to the bath? Besides, the food is terrible! We booked breakfast and dinner, because of the location of the hotel there are no restaurants nearby, but it was really very disgusting, and no choice, and did not understand whether the guests have food sensitivities, or what food cannot be eaten, the only option is to eat and Buried and not eaten. Feeling very disappointed."

"It was a set price, so I couldn't eat dinner at the inn. However, the breakfast was delicious. After all, I wanted to eat dinner at the inn. The sale here is still hot spring ♨️. Tamatsukuri Onsen ♨️ entered three times including in the morning. I was surprised that my skin was smooth. It was a really relaxing time in nature, such as walking around footbaths and shrines. I want to go again."
