Imai-san and Masako are the best! Great location if you're going to be taking the ferry, and a friendly, laid-back atmosphere. Would definitely stay here again!

The staff is friendly and went out d their way to take me snorkeling and coordinate traditional Okinawa samisen live event. But on my first night I was bitten by mosquito constantly that I had to move to the living to sleep. Afterwards the owner wasn't sympathetic to the situation and scolded at me. The cleanliness is questionable to me albeit their friendliness.

Great place! Welcomed by the nicest guy, who showed us the place. The dorm room is a bit small, but good enough if ur just looking for a place to sleep. The owner and his friends were very friendly and welcoming, buying us some beer and talking with us through the evening. We ended up staying another night because it was really nice.

The hostel is great!! Especially for about 1500 Yen per night you can't expect more which is being topped by an owner who really gives everything to let you know you are more than welcome in here (and to make your stay as pleasant as possible). I strongly recommend this hostel and have actually been staying here multiple times due to the lovely atmosphere!

Very, very friendly staff, who were not only willing to help out with travel tasks but were also genuinely friendly and would hang out with travelers, going drinking or eating dinner and so on. Really a wonderful time.

Hostel was great. Everyone was so open and nice. The free amenities were a definite plus. Whenever I go back to Okinawa, I will definitely be staying here again.

Staying here was the best decision! We booked last minute because we were staying at another hostel in town, but the other place turned out to be really terrible. Luckily this place had space for us, and it was a beautiful space on top of that. We had a private two bed room with a locking door and even our own balcony. This place also has a rooftop deck area and private shower. No showering with strangers! Bonus: Great staff and two sweet dogs to play with! Greatest vacation week ever. :)

Extremely friendly, kind, and helpful staff. After having stayed at other hostels in Naha, I would say that this one is by far the best. I was very comfortable and happy there. Best if all, it was CLEAN!

Host was friendly, even fetched us to the train station for free upon our departure. Only problem is that there is only one bathroom.

A great hostel. The staff were very fun to hang out with and they organized a few outings during my stay here and had some of the tastiest foods I've ever had. I was also very fortunate to have great fellow travelers. Also, I had the bottom bunk with no one on the top bunk, so that definitely helped - it might have been a little tight otherwise. Lots of Japanese people stay here, so if you're looking for an easy way to do a short home-stay, this might be the way to go!

Great people, great atmosphere but 18 dorm male dormitory is basic & simple. Showers are like camping.. You don't pay much, so good value-for-money!

We really enjoyed our stay here. The owner is very kind, helpful, and knowledgable with a great laugh and sense of humor. The hostel has a full kitchen for use (very rare for a hostel), so you could cook all your meals in-house if you wanted. There is only one shower, so sometimes there was a queue. Cute dogs to play with while you're there. Location is convinient. Would definitely stay here again.

There were 18 male dorm beds in one open room, and there was no separation between sleeping area and common area -- so there was a lot of noise and it was difficult to sleep. Otherwise, staff and residents were friendly -- location was good, and I would have stayed there longer if there was more availability! :-)
