    Great location, very clean and lovely staff. Really enjoyed the traditional Japanese style of the rooms as well - very different to other hostels I stayed in while travelling Japan.

    I loved my stay since it was my first time to experience a Japanese-style guest house. The people were really helpful and really assisted with my needs.
