Know before you book
- This guide covers Rakuten Travel’s Matsue, Tamatsukuri, Yasugi and Okuizumo area of Shimane. Two of the five are in the city of Matsue on Lake Shinji, one is in Tamatsukuri Onsen west of the city, one is beside the Adachi Museum of Art near Yasugi, and one is at Mihonoseki on the tip of the Shimane peninsula.
- In-room dinner is not automatic. Of the six inns whose Rakuten listing offers dinner in the room, all five in this guide also list another venue: Saginoyuso, Mihokan and Shoheikaku a private room, Ohashikan and Tamaikan a dining hall. Read the plan name or ask when you book.
- Breakfast is not in the room at any of the five. Rakuten lists a private room or a hall at Saginoyuso and Mihokan, a hall or dining hall at Ohashikan, and a dining hall at Shoheikaku and Tamaikan.
- Only two of the five can be reached on foot from a station. Shoheikaku is three minutes from Matsue Shinjiko Onsen station on the Ichibata railway, and Ohashikan 15 minutes from JR Matsue station. Tamaikan is about 9 minutes by car from JR Tamatsukuri Onsen station, Saginoyuso 15 minutes by bus from JR Yasugi station, and Mihokan an hour by bus from Matsue station.
- Dinner starts at set times, so arrival time matters. Last check-in is 19:00 at Saginoyuso, Mihokan and Tamaikan, 19:30 at Shoheikaku and 20:00 at Ohashikan. Check-out is 10:00 at all five.
- Prices are per person with dinner and breakfast, for two sharing. Four of the five list a bathing tax of ¥150 per person, and Ohashikan also lists Matsue city’s accommodation tax of ¥200 per person, paid on top.

What we dropped
| Property | Verdict | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Tamatsukuri Onsen Yujin Chiyonoyu | Runner-up (58/100) | 58/100, the lowest of the six. A weeknight from ¥18,000 per person scored well on value, but its 4.11 review average and a 4.16 average for room, bath and dinner are lower than the five. |
| Matsue Shinjiko Onsen Minamikan | Outside the theme | 4.81 across 400 reviews, but Rakuten lists the dinner venue as a dining hall, with no mention of the guest room. |
| Tamatsukuri Onsen Kasuien Minami | Outside the theme | 4.67 across 1,537 reviews, but dinner is in a dining hall, with no mention of the guest room. |
| Izumo Tamatsukuri Onsen Shiraishiya | Outside the theme | 4.64 across 4,106 reviews, but dinner is in private rooms and a restaurant, with no mention of the guest room. |
| Matsue Shinjiko Onsen Hotel Ichibata | Outside the theme | 4.37 across 3,543 reviews, but dinner is in a banquet hall, and Rakuten states the hotel does not serve dinner in the room. |
Questions visitors ask
If I book one of these, will dinner definitely be served in my room?
Not on every plan. All five list a second venue: Saginoyuso, Mihokan and Shoheikaku serve dinner in your room or a private room, Ohashikan and Tamaikan in your room or a dining hall. The plan decides, so look for in-room dinner (部屋食, heya-shoku) in the plan name or ask when you book.
Can I have breakfast in my room as well?
Not according to Rakuten’s listings. Saginoyuso and Mihokan serve breakfast in a private room or a hall, Ohashikan in a hall or a dining hall, and Shoheikaku and Tamaikan in a dining hall. At Mihokan, breakfast is in the original building, a registered tangible cultural property.
How do I get there by train?
Shoheikaku is three minutes on foot from Matsue Shinjiko Onsen station on the Ichibata railway, and Ohashikan 15 minutes on foot (5 by car) from JR Matsue station. Tamaikan is about 9 minutes by car from JR Tamatsukuri Onsen station, and Saginoyuso 15 minutes by bus from JR Yasugi station. Mihokan is 20 minutes by taxi from Sakaiminato station or Yonago airport, or an hour by bus from Matsue station, and offers a paid pick-up.
Do any of them have English-speaking staff?
Rakuten lists a few staff who understand a little English at Saginoyuso, Ohashikan, Shoheikaku and Tamaikan. Mihokan does not publish its language support, so write when you book.
Which one would you book?
Saginoyuso, joint top at 76/100 with Ohashikan. It is a 30-second walk from the Adachi Museum of Art and has the highest review average of the six, 4.74 across 790 reviews, but a weeknight costs ¥30,000–73,000 per person. If you want to stay in Matsue on a budget, Shoheikaku is about ¥18,000 per person on a weeknight and three minutes from the station.
When were these prices checked?
We searched Rakuten Travel availability for Wednesdays and Saturdays between 11 November 2026 and 2 January 2027, taking the cheapest room with dinner and breakfast for two adults and showing it per person (checked 4 November 2026, tax included). Bathing and accommodation taxes are paid at the inn. Prices move daily; the link on each inn shows today’s.
