I’ve been here for two days with my family, who is from Japan, and they brought me here as this is one of their favorite places to go to relax and eat some very good Japanese food for couple days. The building is made of brick and it’s approximately 100 years old, being one of the few brick buildings with more than 2 floors. Each room is very spacious and has a particular Japanese name. They serve you food in a separate room where you can eat by yourself, and since they do not have a dining room if you’d like to eat here you will have to basically reserve two rooms (one to sleep and one to have your meals). The Grand bath was also very nice, as well as the one outdoor. I really enjoyed these days, relaxed a lot and ate very good food. I strongly recommend the place if you’d like to have a unique and authentic Japanese experience.

I stayed in Guesthouse Famusuton for two nights and the dorm price was relatively cheap. Even though I arrived earlier than my check-in time, the affable dad welcomed me into the house and gave me a brief tour of the place. It seems they too have the irksome rule of requiring guests to vacate the premises from 10am to 4pm everyday, although they’re more flexible about it than my previous lodging. We chatted a bit with my broken Japanese after which the dad took the effort to print out the bus station name for my reference upon learning my itinerary for the day. The location is pretty good, within walking distance from the Iwami station with a Family Mart and supermarket close by. There were restaurants in the area too but they were all closed due to Covid19 when I was there. During my stay, I visited the Tottori Sand Dunes as well as Uradome coast, both of which is easily accessible by local bus. I was the only person in the dorm and so had the luxury of the whole room to myself. Probably because the room is big, the heater AC couldn’t keep the whole place warm enough even at full blast, although it’s cosy enough when I’m tucked under the blankets. The thin mattress isn’t comfy to sleep on, so I ended up sleeping in fits and starts. Maybe I could have stacked up a few more extra mattresses but I didn’t wish to overstep any boundaries. The communal facilities and amenities in the house were varied and plentiful, from multiple large wash basins to a convenient kitchenette to bookshelves full of manga. Wifi was ok at first but slowed to a crawl after the first day, so I could not get much work done.

(+) Well, overall I really satisfied during my stay at this place. I love the room, it was a huge tatami room with such a beautiful view of Uradome Beach. They also offered svarious delicious menus to fed your hunger. During my stay, I had a nice dinner with sashimi as my top pick. It was the best sashimi I've ever had in my life. They also have a little onsen right beside the beach and I really enjoyed that. By writing this I can say that I had a wonderful stay here. (-) Since the location is near the beach/in the coastal area, that's why it's a little bit far from the nearest station (Iwami Station). You'll get tired if you walk there carrying your bag around from the station to this hotel. I recommend you to take taxi which is easily found in front of Iwami Station. Beside that, the staff barely speaks English, so basic Japanese is necessary or at least your body language needs to work more. But, I guess you'll be fine. Don't worry!

貧乏旅ですが、奮発してニュー大谷に泊まってみた。ご主人のホスピタリティや朝食サービスはお値段以上。アニメの舞台になっているのか、独特の内装が目を引くがアニメについては明るくないため評価保留。最寄のコンビニまでそこそこ歩くので自転車を借りられるのも良い。
