Nothing

I had an amazing experience staying there when I visited Hagi. It's a traditional building with comfy bunkbeds and plenty of common areas to mingle with the other travellers. Kitchen is free to use and there are two toilets and a bathroom, all kept clean. The host has created a very warm and welcoming atmosphere and people usually sit down together for dinner and drinks. The place is a short walk to the beach and Hagi itself is a small town so you can walk everywhere easily. I am definitely coming back here and I totally recommend it if you are looking for a place to stay in Hagi.

Nice Japanese style house. Not super clean but satisfying considering the price

The friendliness of the host was amazing. He also gave some recommendations about nearby places that I could visit as well as some specialty dishes for some places. Would love to stay there again next time when I return to Hagi and explore more the places nearby.

The best guesthouse experience in the country. A beautiful house, beautiful beach, friendly people all around. A relaxing atmosphere.

I would recommend to bring earplugs for the night as the walls are quite thin.

Very friendly owner, guests, and neighbours. Feels more like visiting a friend than staying at a guesthouse. Beautiful house and perfect location (very close to the beach).

Location was a bit further from the station and I was not expecting such a long walk. The house is also a bit difficult to find since there is no marking about the name of the house.

Location was a bit far from the station. But overall it was pretty good since it is so close to the beach.

The only thing that was trouble was the squeaky bank bed whose noise was bad enough, even if you put up with other people's snoring 😴

The owner is a very kind person and easy to hold conversation on whatever subject that is relevant to the trip. This makes this place such a gathering place that people stick around for many days and end up being friends. Facilities are minimum but you don't expect much for what you pay.

I wasn't planning on staying in Hagi, but the trains stopped due to bad weather and I made a reservation here at the last minute. When I got there I immediately felt surrounded by friends. Everyone, guests, staff and friends of the staff were so nice. I had a great evening. It's a shame I didn't have plans to stay there and had to leave early the next day, I would have loved to spend more time with everyone.

It was pretty noisy and you could hear everything from the next rooms, so I recommend bringing ear plugs. Far from Hagi station and a bit hard to find at first.

The atmosphere was really great, and the owner was super friendly. Close to the beach, the castle and the old town, as well as to the merchant arcade.

I've travelled around 81 countries and this is the most beautiful place I've ever stayed in. A real Japanese traditional home, so tastefully decorated, every single detail is just incredible, I spent hours contemplating the house. Clean, spacious, warm, equipped with everything you can possibly need, wonderful atmosphere, lovely host, in the historical heart of magical Hagi, seconds away from the sea, we watched gorgeous sunsets. Had my best sleep on the super comfy futon, the heated blankets are such treat. Tea, coffee, great shower, charming garden, I could go on forever, it was always my dream to stay in a place like this.

This is a great place for those that want to experience traditional Japan and meet other travelers. Very friendly owner, great atmosphere of the old Japanese house/kominka - but that also means that it is rather cold and the walls very thin. The location is great for sightseeing, very close to the beach and the ruins of the castle.

The walls are a bit thin due to some being made of traditional paper sliding doors, so may be a problem if you are a very light sleeper. Also, the toilet room is very very narrow.

Extremely friendly, laid-back, and hospitable host family with lots of children running around the place, adding a very local atmosphere to the guesthouse. The guesthouse itself is located just a few minutes walk from a beach with a great view of the sunset. It's very easy to socialize with fellow guests and the host as well as almost all the rooms are interconnected, with people sitting in the common area most of the time.

Other guests were having loud conversations in common area until early morning and it was hard to sleep because of the noise ( thin paper or wood walls....) . Don't forget to bring earplugs!

Very charming traditional japanese house. Owner is super nice and chill and makes you feel at home right away! Location is wonderful, just by the beach and the old castle town. Bed was clean and confortable as well.

It was all good, nothing to complain👌🏼Just be aware that you’ll hear most of the sounds from the house because the guesthouse is in a traditional wooden building which has thin walls between the rooms.

I liked the hippie vibe at the place, because it is managed by Santa - a young Japanese artist who makes beautiful mandalas! There is a living room where you can socialize with other guests and a kitchen with all you need for cooking. Since I’m doing research on preservation of the historic districts, Santa was very helpful in showing me at evening the preservation area near the guesthouse and letting me know where to go in the morning. The dorm room is very small with 2 two-story beds in them, just a place to sleep. I was alone in my dorm so it was good:)

Small room for 8 peoples and only one toilet,but ít is living house of local people,no choix

Very traditinal house,typical garden...

There is no key. Maybe there is good and bad but you can freely enter go the house and room 24h. Too crowded with 3 bunk beds in one room. There's nothing around here. Winter is a short day here too and cold at night, so you must have planned or prepared for dinner.

Nice atmosphere and old traditional Japanese house. There is a kotatsu, which is a heating table for winter. It makes me melt. I am Japanese, so reminded me when I visited my grandparent's house.It'ss nostalgic.

Please clean the kitchen on a regular basis! The refrigerator smelled VILE. Please keep noise levels down late at night. Some guests are trying to sleep and need to be up early in the morning

Thank you for being flexible on check-in. Very friendly staff
