Hoshi Ryokan

It was a lovely surprise to be met at the train station as the young woman from Hoshi Ryokan was very patiently waiting for me as I had taken my time lugging my suitcase up the stairs from the platform to the cross over and down the stairs to the small station building. As others have said the location is so close to the station (1 minute) and within walking distance to many of the sites in Tsuwano. The spacious tatami rooms were upstairs but assistance with my suitcase was provided. The room was not ensuite but I had no problems accessing the toilets and washbasins upstairs or downstairs bathroom. The breakfast was excellent and wifi was available in the room. I received advice and suggestions for attractions and restaurants in English (and there were English maps and pamphlets in the room) and small gifts when leaving. A very pleasant and relaxing stay.
