Fantastic

Japanese Style Twin Room with Shared Bathroom · 2 Adults · 1 Nights

Really interesting place! Wasn't a fan of the tatami and futon sleeping but at least I now know this and it's not fault of hostel. Onsen was nice and clean, room was clean! Ate at the restaurant downstairs. Food was good! Not a lot of choices, but what was there was done well! Kind of annoying the noise of the other patrons and their kids running in the halls and I guess when we stayed there was a concert across the field that was loud but luckily it ended at 9pm. Other than the noise it was really relaxing! We were even given a free car ride to train station, which was very kind and appreciated! Would definitely love to go back someday, maybe closer to end of summer than the beginning.
