what a great little place. If you have a small group, the 4 ppl room on the 3rd floor is perfect. The place has lots of great info in multiple languages and the affiliated izakaya was the perfect place to go for dinner.

The host Koji drove us to our Kumano River tour the next day which was a 20 minute drive and he did it very generously for us. He was very flexible with our check-in time and was extremely gracious and friendly and helpful and made sure we were very comfortable and then left us alone. The apartment was great for four people and it was quirky and spotless and charming. I would definitely stay again.

Room was super comfortable, had a tiny kettle and a fridge which were very convenient if you wanted to keep food for the next day or boil water for your tea. Also I had to work remote and the wi-fi was strong enough.

    We were blown away over how great Ajito Hostel was! We couldn’t believe it is a hostel. The quality was far above a good hotel! The place was so neat, beautifully decorated, clean and comfortable and with so many services like free coffee, local fruit, water and fresh bed every day! Everything seemed brand new. It was truly the best place we’ve stayed on our trip through Japan so far. We highly recommend staying here!

    This is one of the most beautiful and comfortable stay imaginable. Stay here if you can!!! The host greeted us (out of checkin hours) with an immeasurable amount of kindness - and some local sweets. We basically just wanted to store our luggage, but they already had the house ready. You basically get your own house with all the amenities. Everything is very well maintained abd the care for detail is simply amazing.

    Clean comfortable. The owner, who did not live on site, very kindly came to collect us when the address and directions provided on Google maps took us to a completely different guest house.

    Great location, surrounded by many little cafes and eateries around! It was the ideal place to stay to explore Shingu for a day. Coin laundries are comparatively advanced compared to what we experienced in our other Japan accommodations. Machines could wash + dry a huge load of our clothes within 40mins. Terrific after our long days of hiking.

    Great value and great location. It's an easy walk from the train and bus station, and very easy to find. The room was really comfortable and incredibly spacious for one person. I also had use of the kitchen which was really handy as it saved on eating out, which can be a bit of a drag when you're on your own. The shared bathroom was immaculately clean and there were plenty of towels. The lady was very helpful when I arrived. She even provided me with earplugs because I asked for a quiet room :).
