    An wonderful place to encounter new friends, jam, play Okinawa traditional instrument三線, laugh loud and sing loud. The house is getting on some age, but everyone living in here are love it. Ryota cleaned every corner every day to keep a good vibe of here. Breakfast is the first thing I looking forward every little day, it really helps me Start a fresh day.❤️

    I loved everything about this place!! The facilities are spacious and well designed, the breakfasts are wonderful, you can use bikes and snorkel equipment for free, and the owner is friendly and kind. The place has a friendly and easygoing atmosphere that is uncommon in many hostels and it is basically impossible not to meet kind people and make friends :) Best of all, there are very few rules, and you can use the hostel like a regular person. This is easily one of the best hostels I have ever stayed at and I could have stayed longer!

    One of the best hostels I’ve stayed at. Location was not far from bus station, and staff offered to drop me at location. The facilities were great with free bike rentals, free washer and dryer. Free breakfast was very tasty and had a great rooftop. Would recommend this stay to anyone in Okinawa who wants to visit more north of the island.

    The only thing about this place is that if you don’t have a car to move around like us, it is very difficult to move just the bus stop was 30 minutes away. But this place offers extremely affordable vehicles which I would highly recommend but none of us had international license if we did we would’ve done that instead because is so convenient and cheap.

    This guesthouse is exactly what I always envisioned a guesthouse being. I made so many friends and heard so many fascinating stories. The common area was the best part of the whole experience, I had interesting conversations with people from so many countries including Japan. I felt like I was in a house living with friends. And although I went with friends it is a great option if you’re a solo traveler. This place is so welcoming that I lot of the people there told me they went there with the plan of staying one or two nights but have stayed months. And honestly if it wasn’t because I had already booked another place and another part of the island in advance I would’ve stayed. The female room was very comfortable and with a lot of space and the shower room is in my opinion very big. The place was always kept smelling nice and clean. The owner made us a delicious breakfast every day, now I understand why so many comments I read about this place mentioned the breakfast. Not only was it delicious but aesthetically pleasing. If you love music this is the place for you even if you don’t play any instruments it is very likely you would hear people singing and playing some sort of instrument. The owner deserves a whole page dedicated to him. Honestly he was from the beginning very friendly and helpful, it is obvious that he enjoys being there. He lends us bikes, answered any questions and gave us suggestions. He offered us swimming gear when we were going to the beach, umbrellas when he knew it would rain and free products. He even took us to the bus stop when we were leaving. Truly a wonderful person. This place is so special that is priceless but the fact that is so affordable makes it 10X more incredible. 100% recommend!

    A lovely hostel with gorgeous breakfast and owner. And it's very friendly to introvert people like me -- you can either join the talk or quietly sitting aside reading book with a cup of Getto tea on the hand. It is pretty clean everywhere, despite that the dormitory itself is located in basement-- but it does not feel wet, which is quite amazing. Washing machine and dryer are free to use so that you could consider bring less clothes if you choose here as accommodation. Also there are free bikes to use -- highly recommend riding along the Route 58. Riding for about 30 or 40 minutes you can approach the beach, but the journey itself won't make you feel long as the scene on the road is so beautiful.

    everything was okay, it is more like a homestay.

    the staff is very friendly and the place is lovely. There are many musical instrument on the ground level, and some people gather in the house to play the instruments. Free breakfast (i had pancake) was freshly made by the friendly staff. The sleeping area is at the basement, there is shower room for lady, need to shower in a bathtub. A big locker is also provided. Shampoo, conditioner and body wash is provided. Do bring you own tower and toothbrush. The place is close to the pottery shop and the castle. You can also approach the staff to ask for food or visiting recommendation, they have a map near the kitchen.

    This could easily be one of the best hostels I've ever been in. Ryota, the host, is super helpful and a great musician. His breakfasts are legendary. And the location is also very chill and close to everything. The free bikes help a lot too.

    I had an incredible week at this hostel in Okinawa. It's safe to say this was the best hostel experience I've ever had. The atmosphere was incredibly welcoming, with music in the living room and fun movie nights. One of the standout features was the option to rent a scooter at a very affordable price, which made exploring the island a breeze. Plus, having a nearby gym with a $2 entry fee was a fantastic bonus. The hostel's location was perfect, making it easy to access all the attractions on the island. The host was a true gem – not only did they create a warm and homely atmosphere, but they also served up some delicious breakfast, especially those mouthwatering pancakes. Staying here felt like being among friends, and I made some amazing connections during my stay. In my travels around Japan, this hostel, without a doubt, had the best host. The value for the price was outstanding, and I'm truly grateful for such a memorable experience. If you're heading to Okinawa, I can't recommend this place enough. It's a home away from home and an unforgettable journey.
