喜庵 KIAN the guest house by the castle

共有スペースも含め、宿泊した部屋も清掃が行き届いていて快適に過ごせました。 食器などの備品も充実していました。 スタッフの方の気遣いもありがたかったです。

昭和な感じの外観からは想像できないが、リフォームして間がないのかトイレなどの設備が新しく、家中がとても清潔に磨き上げられている。トイレ、シャワールームが男女別なのもよいところ。松江城やお土産の物産館のすぐ近くというロケーションも最高です。何よりオーナーさんのホスピタリティが素晴らしい。松江に帰ってくる、という感覚でまた宿泊したいです。

喜庵さんのせいではまったくないのですが、近くにコンビニがあったら良かったです。朝食やお酒はあらかじめ買ってから宿に戻りましょう。あと細かいですが、、2階和室入り口のふすまの建てつけが重いので、滑りをよくしてもらえるとうれしいです。

This is a lovely guesthouse run by a highly dedicated owner. We knew Matsue from previous visits but the owner, Emi, opened up several new pleasures for us. For example, she arranged a visit to a soy factory-it's at least 150 years old-and also treated us to tea. The house is within easy walking distance to the town center and there is a very good bus service. The bakery across the street is a gem, combining innovative breads, whiskey and an excellent music collection. We had fabulous sushi at a restaurant close to the laundromat. The kitchen space is perfect for breakfast. We'd love to go back to Matsue and hope to stay at Kian again.

Emi was a great host and we enjoyed our stay very much. The place is in a quiet side street next to the castle area so very convenient (and easy to reach by bus from the station). We came early and Emi made sure that everything is already ready for us and welcomed us with a tea ceremony. If we revisit Matsue one day I'm sure we will end up staying here again!

The place is comfortable. It’s like a home away from home. The cleanliness of the place is exceptional even the screen door in the shower was very clean, which I found it a hard find in any places at which I ever stayed. The owner gave me a home type of tea ceremony. We are very grateful for that. Thank you, Emi San! The location is very convenient to walk to Matsue Castle, which is also an interesting place to visit.

Nothing.

Great stay in a lovely guesthouse. Emi, the host, was amazing! She was super friendly and welcomed us with some tea and sweets. She had great tips for stuff to do around Matsue (she recommended this beautiful sunset watching spot!) and was overall a very gracious host. The room was very large and we just had the nicest and most relaxing stay in a long 24-day exploration vacation in Japan.
