Quiet, clean hostel with a great host. One of the most unique places we stayed in Japan!

Excellent little spot! Wonderful host, he speaks some English and will tell you all about the area. We stayed in the Japanese-style room, the futons were very comfortable and warm. As it is a gueshouse, there are shared spaces for guests to use - a fully equipped kitchen, loungeroom, a simple bathroom and 2 toilets. Free wifi throughout. Please be considerate of other guests and neighbouring houses regarding noise, especially at night. About a 12 min walk to Yoshinojingu Station (1 stop away from Yoshino Station), there is a convenience store about 8 min walk away, and there is an awesome chinese restaurant near Yoshinojingu Station. Highly recommend this place!

Nothing

The host is super kind and available. The position is perfect to visit Yoshinoyama. The facilities are complete of laundry and kitchen.

Slightly far from town centre but still at reasonable walking distances

A cosy and well-equipped guest house managed by a very kind host. Its location is also just next to the scenic yoshinoyama national park.

Very quite when I went, which I preferred, close to the station (10 min walk)

The room is so close the kitchen, also à little noisy

Friendly guest,

Oh my God this is a magical experience! First of all both Kiko and Hisa are the kindest people! Kiko spent hours helping tweek our travel plans and planning the best route based on our interests. Hisa took us in his lovely car with Kiko next morning to a special place in the mountains to see Sakura as it was a bit late for the Sakura in the national park. We spent an amazing day together and then went in the afternoon to the national park. When we came back in the evening they invited us for a house dinner with the son and mother of low of the owner Hisa and another friend visiting from out of town and honestly no words for the experience. An incridible Japan authentic thing! In short saw Sakura, met with amazing people, had a japanese dinner party and got serious help with our travel plans. I could say its the highlight of our trip! The house is very nice, room was big, everything is clean and functional including self service laundry. Thank you so much for everything and see you again one day!

We booked the room with 2 tatamis and it was as if we were sleeping directly on the floor. Not that bad, but it was our first time sleeping like this and I don't think we would do it again. I would recommend a room with beds!

The staff was so nice and welcoming. They were very accommodating (with our check-in time and luggage). We had a great time there!!

Owner is great. Knows a lot about the area and gave me a lift to the train station.

While the room can be calm and relaxing, it depends if the adjacent room is booked or not. The separation between the two rooms is only some thin sliding doors, that are not covering all gaps, so you could even peek into the other room. That's very apparent, when it's night and either one has the lights on =( A sleeping mask might help, but otherwise your room is also illuminated. You will also hear everything that's happening in the other room, so hope for silent guests.

The host is very nice and welcoming and has good tips about the places around, as well as restaurants and alike.

Kind and informative owner. Good location for Yoshino if you have a car. Safe parking and good access. Lots of kitchen facilities.

Too many people for one bathroom. My confirmation email clearly said “one room for two adults” but on arrival I had to pay double because apparently I’d only booked for one person. Had to wait two hours for the shower in the evening.

The owner was very nice.

Locking was missing and front door was kept open. Japan is relatively safe but not so ideal that your belongings are exposed.

Good 👍

Cleaninessless and hygiene must be mproved

Hygiene is really a problem with this property. The bed sheets were not changed when different guests check-in and out. 3 out of 4 of us have had insects bites on our hands ad legs after spending one night here!

Hot water wasn't available for my shower - there was a switch somewhere that wasn't explained to me. The single room was nice, but the shutters to an adjacent guest room were loose (i.e. sound easily heard) and had frosted window panels (i.e. can't see, but light comes through brightly from either room).

The place is interesting, located in a lumber yard area, and the owner is nice.
