喜庵 KIAN the guest house by the castle

とにかく建物、設備がとても綺麗。かつアットホームな雰囲気でとても居心地がよかった。これは運だけど、他に2組くらい宿泊してたはずだけど、皆さんマナーもよく全然音もしなかった。ほんとに他の人もいるの？と疑うくらい。 松江城のほんとにすぐ近く。島根県物産館も近くてお土産も買える。 オーナーさんもとても親切で、また松江にくる機会があったらぜひ泊まりたい。

繁華街から離れてるくらい？閑静な場所なのでそれが過ごしやすくて良いのだけど。

Emi was the best host, she was open and communicate and very accommodating.

This is the perfect place to stay in Matsue. Great value, great place and a wonderful host. If both rooms are available, see item 3 below re the difference. Tip: it's worth spending 5 mins reading the helpful suggestions from other guests in the guestbook. 1. Location - excellent, central and walking distant from restaurants and bars, while being in a quiet location. If you're coming from the JR train/JR bus terminal, you'll need to take a bus (or taxi). Note that as at Dec 2025, Google unhelpfully doesn't tell you which of the many bus stops you need to catch your bus from - however, Navitime does. 2. Host - Emi is a proactive and welcoming host. She checked on us regularly and is bilingual in English so we had some lovely conversations. Her suggestions and those of her previous guests in her guestbook allowed us to have a really full and interesting 2 days based in Matsue. This included great bar/restaurant suggestions - Cafe Puente quite rightly comes up in many people's suggestions. 3. Rooms - there are two. The larger ones is upstairs, however for two people we found the downstairs one just fine. We decided to stay in the smaller downstairs room because we didn't want to go up and down the stairs. However, there were no other guests during the time we stayed. Note that the downstairs room is where the kitchen, showers and entrance area are. The upstairs room is more insulated and probably quieter if both rooms are occupied. However, while we stayed during mid-December, thanks to the heating on timers in the room and the kitchen, it was never too cold. 4. Facilities - we had breakfast in the kitchen and found it to be perfectly equipped for our needs. There are two bathrooms (each with a shower and toilet), which means that even if both rooms are occupied, there would always be a shower and toilet available for each room. The shower had good pressure and temperature.

Nothing.

Kian is a lovely host recommending all the good places for us to go.

Emi est une incroyable hôte attentionnée et attentive. Des conseils de restaurants aux explications, tout était de bonne qualité ! Si je reviens à Matsue, je repasserais par cette maison d'hôte !

民宿のご主人が本当に優しくて、会った瞬間からほっこりしました。 下手な日本語でも楽しくお話できて嬉しかったです♡ 美味しい抹茶とお菓子をごちそうになって幸せでした！ お茶のマナーも優しく教えてくださり、感謝の気持ちでいっぱいです。 温かいおもてなしのおかげで、とても心に残る旅になりました。 また必ず泊まりに来たいです。ありがとうございました！

Tout était parfait: l'accueil par Emu, ses conseils et son logement.
