Stayed in the private double room. It was lovely location and had a pretty garden BUT was provided with very uncomfortable rock hard Japanese style pillows so made it a little difficult to sleep..

Best hostel I've stayed at in Japan! The staff were so lovely, and let us check in 3 hours earlier after catching a night bus from Hiroshima so we were able to catch up on some sleep. The hostel was a beautiful, traditional Japanese house style and the facilties were great. Very clean too. On our last night there, the lady dressed us up in kimono from her vast collection, it was so kind of her. The couple who run the hostel were so helpful and lovely, highly recommended!

Very nice hostel. Tricky to find at first--follow the picture map they send you or you will get lost!--but the location is very nice, near the tram line but in a residential neighborhood. The owner was very friendly, and helped us get on the right bus at the end of our stay. There is a microwave and a tiny refridgerator, free tea and coffee, but no way to cook otherwise. There was also a Japanese-style bath/shower, which was nice to have.

This was a great find! A bit of a trek, but their photo instructions made it very easy to get to. Convenient to the tram. The staff was very helpful, and the hostel has a lot of character. Would definitely go back!

We stayed to nights. There is a lot of people staying for a long time, so they don't really care about tourists. Not a really friendly atmosphere.

Best place I stayed in Japan. The quintessence to enjoy an authentic japanese style experience. The owner will welcome you in kimono and wear it the whole day not to please you, but just because that's the way she lives. She makes her own kimono and has a room where she will introduce to the Kimono art and other traditional aspects of the local culture. No way, it is a real experience to live. The house is clean, warm, nice view over a river and all the great facilities you need! Sugoiii!

Really nice hostel in a great location. Has a really traditional feel to it, but with all the modern facilities you would expect. The lady who owns it was also really kind and helpful. Wish we could have stayed longer!

Lovely guesthouse, well situated and the couple running the place were very helpful. Only drawback was there was nowhere to cook! Just had kettle, microwave & fridge. But would still recommend it as a place to stay.
