Guest House Hamada-en

The location was very good to visit the sand dunes of Tottori close. The proprietary was extremely nice and is available when there is a need, the house was Japanese style clean and comfy.

The location can be a little far from the city center especially at night to eat so it's better to have a car. Air conditioning is in the rooms so it can be a little hot in summer when using the common spaces.

チェックインした後、24時間出入り自由でした。食事も持込自由で、夏だったので、製氷機の氷が自由に使えるのは助かりました。冷蔵庫に名前を書いて物を入れる事ができました。

Wi-Fiは使えません。共用部分にラッキョウの匂いが割と強くありました。 始めて泊まる場所だったので、周辺の入浴施設や食事処、買い物場所などがわかりやすく教えてもらえたらなと思いました。 施設の人がずっといる訳ではなくて、聞きたい時は電話をかけて聞くのですが、電話だけだと少し分かりにくかったです。

The staff (and the cute family) were super friendly and nice. It was fun communicating in Japanese and English and fighting the language barrier together! The guesthouse is strategically close to bus stops and Tottori Sand Dunes. It is still a remote area so not convenient for grocery stores and restaurants/konbini. Be mindful of that but it was beautiful sleeping in a tatami room facing the japanese countryside. The room was super comfortable with extra blankets and heating/AC

Being a charming old house means it can get very cold in winter. I visited in late March and common areas were very cold. The kitchen was not the cleanest kitchen around but it served its purpose. I would recommend visiting Guesthouse Hamada-En and the beautiful Sand Dunes.

Nothing to like. Nothing special. But accepted late arrival and received us with polite manner.

No shower facilities on same floor. No hot water from the basin on my floor. Smoke smell every where, main hall entrance, toilet on my level. Room not as clean as expected.
