Caveat - I stayed off-peak and paid for a single room but was given a double tatami room, so I was very satisfied. The room was simple, very clean, and with access to a balcony so I could dry my swimwear. The hostel was very quiet at night. I appreciated that the shoji screens had blackout curtains behind them so I wasn't woken by the sun at 5 a.m.! The kitchen was probably the cleanest hostel kitchen I have ever seen! The staff seem to be constantly cleaning the whole place. The 12 p.m. check-out was great as I could relax in the morning. The shared bath was modern with shower gel and shampoo provided. The toilets were very clean although the sinks in the room did not have soap so I had to go across the corridor and wash my hands at other sinks which did have soap - a bit weird!

The place was well situated close to the beach, it was clean and quiet, and the staff was friendly and helpful. The bed berth in the shared room was spacious and good. The building had a nice balcony from which one could enjoy looking at the stars in the night. One could also rent a bike to explore the environment and near-by beaches, and there was a nice Hawaiian restaurant next door that served good breakfast. The bathroom and toilets were exceptional and new, I especially enjoyed the big bath (which I happened to have just for myself) - the white colour was very calming after the day's bustle.

I was doing the Biwaichi cycle and this hostel was right next to the route. There was also a place to store my bike. There is a beautiful beach with white sand nearby where I went swimming. The pods were bigger than others I've stayed in and I thought the shared kitchen/living space was excellent - there was everything you could need to make a meal and the vibe was very friendly. Nice showers and a really nice public bath as well. The staff were really friendly and helpful with recommendations. I'd definitely stay again.

The hostel is very clean and big. The bed and capsule you get are also big! I could fit my backpack in there and still had plenty of space! There is Ac in the room. The public bath looks very modernised and western but it was still comfortable! The beach is 4min away, there is also a terrace in the hostel that has shade in the afternoon and its very comfortable to spend time on. The wifi works great, I could watch youtube with no problem!

Everything was very clean, and the onsen feels so good after a hole day of snowboard. Staff was very kind, they even help me when my snowboard boot broke. The kitchen has a lot of utilities and coffe/tea free. Definitely i highly recommend it and i’ll come back again when i go snowboard
