Hotels near Izumi Gastroenterology Clinic, Matsue

I think it's probably once in a lifetime to drive to Shimane Prefecture. In a 1200 kilometer journey, I stayed two nights with Kobe and Hiroshima and entered Shimane. First of all, the employee's response was at home, and I felt the warmth that was not too much. As you know, Gunma Prefecture has stayed many times in the hot spring kingdom of Kusatsu, Ikaho, Mizukami, and Shiman, but I felt that the hospitality of Matsunoyu was exceptional. The quality of the spring was light and similar to that of Shiman Onsen. I stayed for two nights, but what was overwhelming was the deliciousness and number of items for dinner, the number of items that I couldn't compete with in the hot springs of Gunma, and the deliciousness of the breakfast buffet. I had some trouble with the parking lot, but the good reception at the front desk made me feel at ease. Anyway, it is an inn that made me satisfied with Ku 々. It is an inn that I want to ask again if possible.

The staff were very kind with the impression that it was a retro hotel. It is easy to access Matsue Station / Matsue Shinjiko Onsen Station, and the tourist spots are close, and there are many rice shops around. It was a pack lunch though it was breakfast.

The room is old, but the cospa is good considering that there is a hot spring including breakfast. You can barely see Lake Shinji from the room. The location is also within walking distance of both Matsue Castle and Lake Shinji. The parking lot is free and they will send you to the station in the morning. The only elderly male staff at the front desk is unfriendly and does not reply easily. Well, it's a hotel of this level, so it can't be helped if you think of it as a clerical staff, but it's a pity that other staff are doing their best. I think it's good just to sleep for sightseeing and business.

It is convenient in front of the station, but you have to cross the road through the underground road, which may be inconvenient for people with large luggage. The staff felt good. The size of the room was not enough for two people to stay, but it felt like there was no shortage. There were multiple outlets at the bedside ＆ There was no problem with charging. However, there are few storage parts, so it may be a little inconvenient if you stay consecutive nights. It is difficult to put large PET bottles such as 1.5L in the refrigerator, but if you diagonally put them in. I thought it would be okay to stay if I had a chance to visit again.

漁港のすぐ前にある旅館です。小さな集落という感じで、集落全体が見渡せるぐらいの規模感ながら、いくつかの旅館が並んでいます。 青畳の路地があり、この地の観光名所の一つ。歴史ある建物が建ち並ぶ風情のある通りです。 建物は、手入れが行き届き、木材を適所に使用された居心地の良い空間です。部屋もきれいで、オーシャンビューというか、港ビューというか、とてもきれいな景色が楽しめます。海の向こうには米子の街並みと大山が見えます。 お食事もかなり頑張っているようで、見た目に豪華な鯛のお頭の煮物がありました。お刺身も良いですね。 朝食は、かなり美味しく、おすすめです。朝食会場は、文化財になっている本館で、なかなか他では見ることのできない素敵な建物での一時を楽しむことができます。 おすすめです。

The building is old, but the interior has been renovated with calm colors, and the 3300m2 Japanese garden that can be seen from the lobby is a beautiful sight. The large bath, which is generously paved with agate power stones, is spacious and beautiful with three colors of blue, red and white stones, and there are many washing areas, so you won't feel stressed even if it's crowded. The open-air bath is also large and open, so it's very relaxing. In addition, the men's and women's baths are switched the next morning, so you can enjoy a variety of options. The prices are a little high, but the food is delicious and I was able to relax and enjoy the beauty-enhancing hot springs.

Shimane (especially the Matsue & Izumo areas) are chock full of wonderful sights - the overall trip greatly exceeded our expectations. As far as accommodations go, Minamikan is the ”Pride of Matsue,” and after staying 3 nights at this famous ryokan, we understand why. Minamikan was everything we hoped it would be, and then some. It's nicely situated along the banks of Lake Shinji and is within easy walking distance to the main sites in the area, including Matsue Castle. As well, one of the docks of the canal boat tour is less than a minute away. There are several very nice restaurants, cafes and shops in the immediate vicinity so you could easily spend a day exploring Matsue on foot (with a few exceptions, including Kamosu Jinja Shrine, which I highly recommend.) Of course, you'll definitely also want to visit Izumo Taisha Shrine and the area around it - for this, you'll need to drive or take public transportation - it'll take about an hour each way. Further afield is the historic Iwami Ginzan Silver Mine and the charming (and very nicely preserved) Omori Town, which were definitely a major highlight during our trip. We chose one of Minamikan's top suites (if not the top one) - ”Mizu No Ito,” (Room #101), which is one of the two ”Special” rooms in a new, separate wing of the property (”Mizu No Iro” #102 being the other.) It's a expansive suite at a full 121m², complete with a Western-style bedroom along with two separate living rooms - one a Japanese tatami type and another with a couch and dining table. The Japanese style living room has a view of Lake Shinji as well as the property's main garden; ditto for the in-room Onsen bath. In the mornings, we were able to observe men in boats rounding up the famed ”Shijimi” (Japanese freshwater clams) in the Lake. As ryokan rooms go, it's about as good as it can get. Given that Minamikan's room rates are far lower than famous ryokans in more touristy locations like Nikko or Hakone, splurging here will put less of a strain on your wallet - I highly recommend Mizu No Oto if it's available for booking. The property itself is relatively small - there's a parking lot in front of the main building, which houses the common area, restaurant and all guest rooms (aside from the two ”Special” rooms. There is a total of 16 rooms at Minamikan, so a tour of the property will take no more than a few minutes. The highlight of the grounds is the garden that is right at the edge of Lake Shinji. It's a ”dry” rock garden with nicely manicured Matsu Pine Trees that are reminiscent of Bonsai. It's a very tranquil place that can be enjoyed from the restaurant that faces the garden. Come evening, the garden is illuminated in such a way that it gives out a tranquil yet mysterious vibe. The entire experience is a tranquil one, in fact. Service is friendly but graceful and discreet, it's far from the busy streets, and the garden and view of Lake Shinji contributed to lower our blood pressure and stress level. Meals are served

I stayed at this Dormy hotel in April 2019, and chose it again for a two-night stay because it'd worked out well, and again, I wasn't disappointed. I think I may have even been in the same room! The quarters were plain and compact, and with no view to speak of, but well-designed and equipped, especially for working on the laptop - great desk space, easily accessible power sockets and good wi-fi. I loved having the amplifier, something most hotels don't include. The bed was comfortable. The bathroom had a mini tv (and welcoming duck), with a larger one in the bedroom. The complimentary inclusions were appreciated - for example, ramen in the evenings, bath salts (bonus), and peach jelly in the fridge. The reasonably-priced breakfast was good, and featured perfect tempura! The hotel is near the JR station and a 10 minute walk to Lake Shinji, 15-20 to the castle. Staff were efficient with tasks such as forwarding luggage. Overall, excellent value!

Get off at Tamazou Onsen Station and walk for 15-20 minutes. It should be the hotel closest to the tram station on Onsen Street. There are no supermarkets or places to eat nearby. The hotel izakaya will open after 8pm. It is recommended that the convenience store prepare some food in advance. You can take a taxi when you get off the bus. The journey is not expensive. The hotel’s free shuttle bus is in the morning, between the tram station and the hotel. The hotel is a bit old. The breakfast is quite substantial.

We also used the restaurant to celebrate my daughter's birthday and also ate at the restaurant. This was my first visit to the building since it was renovated, and the view is outstanding, with Lake Shinji right in front of the hotel. In the morning, from your room window, you can see more than a dozen small boats catching freshwater clams, a specialty of Lake Shinji. The restaurant ``Avantia'' offers a wide range of cuisine, including Japanese, Western, and Chinese cuisine, with approximately 50 types of cuisine served as a buffet for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. My daughter's favorite meat dishes include roast beef, chinjao loin, vinegared chicken, and fried chicken, as well as delicious desserts.
