My and my brother stayed a total of three nights in Guest House Bola-Bola while backpacking around Japan, and were thoroughly impressed by it's charm, cleanliness and atmosphere. This is not a place to go if you're looking for a high octane social booze-fest. The hostel is quiet, private, relaxed and traditional in look and feel. The owners were polite and charming - if a little shy - and plied us with gifts for the journey on our departure. Near the train station too. Thoroughly recommended.

Nice place to chill out and relax for a while. Traditional guesthouse and the staff were excellent! Wish we could have stayed longer. Definately recommend.
