The hallway to your room is shared with two other rooms. This can sometimes be a bit noisy when people go in or out The stairs to the rooms can be difficult for less abled people.

Spacious and light room in the center of Takamatsu. Tucked away in a cute alley these rooms give a traditional feel while not compromising on comfort. The staff were kind and helpful, when you speak a little (broken) Japanese.

Pretty much all is okay! The showers are separate but that shouldn’t be no real problem.

Great place, super room and nice owner.

The communal approach was not the usual cheap approach but refined to fit the modern need and with a better service compared to the franchise hotel. Facility was equipped with the latest bathroom equipments and the service beats any modern western hotel approach. Very Japanese. This hotel is suited for the environmentally conscious travelers who also enjoys the clean toiletries, shower and sink.

The care from the staff and owner was exceptional and nothing compared to the traditional business model. The Japanese style room was simple and meticulously clean. With the honest and truthful aim of sustainability, it follows the style of zen Buddhist belief and was built with bare minimum on purpose. But it fulfills the modern need with having a Japanese bidet equipped in the toilet and exceptionally clean bathroom and a modern sink for the necessities you expect in a modern ryokan style hotel. The reception area was comfortable and designed with care. The staff and owner was very helpful and attentive. The two shared shower rooms were equipped with the latest shower heads and extra clean and water pressure was better than any other franchise hotel than Hilton or Marriot.

The window opens onto a wall.

We were late for our check in and our host graciously waited for us a a few main items which was great! Check in finishes at 21:00 so good to keep in mind. Very close to public transportation and train station. The room is clean and spacious.

Not a lot of communal space if you want to hang out and meet people however this was not a big problem for us as we were not staying here long enough.

Stayed in private Japanese style room with our own bathroom. The room was beautiful and very spacious and the facilities (bathroom, futon etc) were perfect. Microwave in room, which was great as there was no kitchen. The vibes of the hostel are also so nice, with beautiful decor and friendly staff.

The common area and the room is very small, only half the beds were occupied when I was here but I can't imagine if it is full. I think 8 people would be too many, there should be max 6 beds I think.

Very nice staff, very well situated and nice garden

loved the location and the staff were super helpful. they let us check in a little early and held our bags for us after checkout

The only somewhat downside was that the shower was separate downstairs which didn't bother me.

The place is super central. You are close to Kawara-machi station and the bazaar style shopping streets where there's a lot of food to be find. The room was very spacious for Japanese standards, and everything was nicely decorated with different kinds of (what looks like) found wood. Lot's of character. You have a sofa, and two desk areas to work on. There's a microwave, a fridge and water boiler and sink, and toilet in the room. I was an hour early and was let in early in my room, which is a bit unusual here. The small downstairs reception hang out area downstairs apparently turns into a pub some nights, I didn't get to experience it this time. Just a charming, no fuss set up.

A lot has been put in to make the place extra comfy. Nice arts, designs, garden, cleanliness, guides, website... It all fits well to make a great cozy living environment.

Very noisy at night with four yougs coming back at 01:30, shouting and slappind doors. Bad luck only...

Location and japanese style

Stayed in March 2024

Only one toilet and shower per 8 people. Not many amenities. A place to stay for one night rather than a longer period, as the common space is not very big. Lots of posters around the hostel about possible fines for breaking the hostel rules.

Walkable location in the center of Takamatsu. Shared kitchen was nice and we could leave our baggage early before check-in. The owner was friendly.

Clarity on what to expect - shower in room or not, improved reception area...

Expected a sparkling Japanese-style guest house -instead a ramshackle lobby, no shower in the room....the room itself was fine but the attitude of the staff was standoffish and not too friendly and it cost more than such a facility warrants, particularly in a provincial Japanese town.
