We absolutely loved this place. Wish we'd booked for a longer stay. Super convenient, really cosy and the hosts were fantastic. There was a lot of excellent information available in the property, about local Onsen, attractions, restaurants etc. The hosts were very happy to facilitate bookings and make recommendations. We love it.

とてもフレンドリーなご夫婦がやってるアットホームなお宿でした。とてもきれいにおしゃれにリノベーションされてて快適な滞在が出来ました。ただ表記されてたレンタル自転車？を期待して行ったのにそれがなかったのが残念だったのとバスアメニティとあったので歯ブラシ持って行かなかったらバスタオルしかなかった〜言ったら歯ブラシ出して頂けましたが勘違いする人もいると思うので表記変更した方が親切かもしれません。

ホステルとしてはとても良かったです。和の雰囲気満載で清潔感もあり、スタッフの方もフレンドリーで積極的にコミュニケーションをとってオススメを教えてくれます。リサイクルにも力を入れていて、外国人ウケはいいだろうなと思いました。ただ事前にホテルページ見て行きましたが、ホステルと思っていなかった為バスセット有なので当然基本アメニティが入ってると思ってしまっていました。バストイレ別も行くまで分からなかったので、ホステルが比較的浸透していない日本ではもう少し目立つように表示しておくと、ホテル希望者が想定と違うという相違は起きないかなと思います。

夜中に暖房が頻繁に音を立てて着いたり消えたりして何度も目が覚めてしまいました。チェックイン時に暖房の説明を受けましたが、寝る前に何かしておく事があったのかもしれません…オーナーの説明に返事だけしてきちんと聞いてなかったので反省しています。今後は口頭のみでなく文章での説明があると、後で見返せるのでいいかもしれません。全体的には清潔感があって木のぬくもりも感じられてすごくいい空間でした。ありがとうございました。

The staff was very friendly, helpful, and accommodating. They helped my partner to arrange a special surprise gift for me upon arrival. The place and room were very clean and nice. The bed was so comfortable! Location was excellent- close to monkey park, close walk to onsen and restaurants and bus station. Would highly recommend.

Nice mountain getaway

Overall a nice mountain get away from the city bustle. Beautiful scenic views in this city. The couple was extremely friendly and helpful in providing recommendations on things to do in the area. The place was extremely clean which I appreciated.

Hotel:flawless. Customer service:needs improvement

I cannot fault the hostel, the bed was really comfortable and it was very clean, the only area of improvement that I can comment on would be the frontdesk’s hospitality The way we were treated during check in was very unwelcoming. We arrived at around 1230pm and the man who “welcomed” us did not make us feel welcome at all. We think he was actually annoyed, he told us that check in was at 3, which was fine but I asked him if we can leave our bags. Having travelled all the way from Tokyo, we were all tired from the early morning trip and we asked if we can use the bathroom to change our clothrs and the man replied, no coz its being cleaned right now. At that point, I really got annoyed and answered him back that we cannot even use the toilet? And he responded very coarsely, okay go, go and use it, go now! The check in was really awkward, as if we were intruding. The woman on the other hand was really lovely. Again, the hostel is really nice and clean but the man at the frontdesk I reckon need to be trained more on how to welcome guests hospitably.

Best place we stayed at during two weeks in Japan

Big thanks to the owner couple who really put an effort into helping with recommendations and making sure the entire place was spot-less. Very good value for money.
