It might have been my poor research but I didn’t realise I’d be sharing a bathroom with a dozen guests and our room was right beside the living area so we could hear every conversation

Kitchen is not open during the night/early in the morning. Not optimal for esrly departure

Good starting point for departure to the islands

Stayed in March 2024

I had to give an expected time of arrival which I always find a bit hard to do while traveling. The house is a bit old so it was cold inside when I went in end of March (I don’t want to imagine in winter) but that’s a Japanese experience in a way haha. Only one shower/toilet. But since I stayed for only one night, nothing was much of an issue.

Really practical guest house if you’re going to Naoshima. Close to the station too. Nice staff.

There is just one shower (and it's fairly nice), and you should write yourself into a schedule, but everyone seemed to be quite quick, and I didn't have a problem with queuing. The shower isn't available after midnight, which also seems to be a very common rule in local hostels

Quite traditional Japanese house, beautiful interior, and also quite spacious. Comfortable beds, friendly staff. Kitchen and some common space available.

If it’s busy you might have to wait in a line to take a shower as it is only one shower for 14 guests at least. I didn’t have a problem with that though as we would be home earlier than others. Keep in mind house is old and has squeaky floor as well as paper walls so not much privacy or quiet time. Also in a dorm once you close curtains you loose airflow which means you need to choose getting light and loosing privacy or no air while sleeping.

Cosy place, Japanese style, good for short stay. Large kitchen was very useful.

The upstairs bathroom was quite small - a little more space would be comfortable.

Location was great to get to the islands close by. There were also a few restaurants and a convenient store located within minutes. The room was spacious and comfortable - the hosts/staff were so lovely and had great chats!

Good location, cute house and nice staff:)

The common area and the kitchen are really comfortable. Very kind stuff

Only one shower for everyone which seemed to work ok but may have to wait when it's busy.

Lovely Japanese style guesthouse in a great spot. Well equipped and friendly staff.

Not built for tall people! I can’t count the number of times I bumped my head into various ceilings around the guest house. A heads up during check-in could’ve been nice.

A very home-like guest house, and greatly located near the Uno train station and the port to the ferries.

Stayed in March 2024

It take more than 5mins to the port so preparing your schedule

Japanese traditional style and the price is best

Friendly informative staff. Easy to socialise if you want. Great town to explore from/ in. Quiet even in the dorms. Great to be able to leave your bags and head off for the day. Uno, the islands and area were the highlight of our trip.

Everything is tidy and clean. People are adorable. It's nearby the train and the boats to Naoshima / Teshima. They recommended an amazing place to have dinner. We felt in love with the house.

Only one shower and toilet was a bit weird.

Friendly staff. Relaxing feel. Really great value and lovely town

Stayed in November 2023

Nothing bad at all, but beware of toilets they are not made for tall people!

Nice little cubicle hotel with a few double rooms. In a traditional Japanese wooden house. Kitchen for self cooking available. Reception in nearby cafe/bookstore. 5 min. Walk from train station and ferry to Naoshima, Teshima ao.

The staff was friendly and helpful. The capsule dorms had curtains, an outlet and a light for each bed.

3 min walk from train station. Close to ferry and a great onsen. Hostel is beautiful japanese style. It feels like home straight away. Large kitchen and beds are good size. Nice quiet and chill hostel. If you're tall watch out for the lower doors

2nd floor water closet doesn't have the usual bidet/oshiri function in toilets. There was hand gel but no soap.

Felt very homey and it was close to Uno station, which was my primary consideration. There's a tub and shower, and the kitchen is very big. Little notes here and there that help you be mindful of things to do or how to use something. Would stay here again if I'm in the area. Owner also speaks English well and a good conversationalist so everything was hassle-free and good.

Nothing

Cute little homestay, watch your head tho!

The beds are on the firmer side which is typical of Japan. Otherwise excellent.

Lovely people and very nice laid back vibe.

Stayed in October 2023

Great! A bit rustic, which contrasts with some hostels in bigger cities but so welcoming and charming.

Stayed in October 2023

Two bathrooms with many people and one upstairs that had a low and old seat.

The location was excellent for ferry rides to Naoshima and Teshima islands. The owner of the hostel was nice however the work away and long term helpers were the ones whom I truly interacted with. They made me feel very welcomed and one even came on a little island trip to Teshima with me on her day off (im very socail not saying others would have this service). It was a great time with very nice people in the hostel as well.

Excellent extremely helpful staff. Easy check in. Great eateries and port close by.

Stayed in October 2023

Staff was chill and friendly, the location was very convenient also. The hostel itself gave a very nice old vibe!
