The hostel is really nice for a hostel, but the price is too high. The staff was great though. The hostel has dorm room stays, not separated by sex and limited showers/toilets. The heater did not work in the dining room. I stayed right down the street which was only $10 more and had my own huge room, bathroom/shower, yukata and access to a very nice onsen. Unfortunately, it's not listed online because they only take cash. So you're limited to what you can book online in Yunomine.

Lovely hostel, very welcoming and accommodating staff. They have a partnership (10% off I think?) with a great restaurant down the road too.
