This is a great location for a small group. The Shimbama Station is only a 5 minute if that, walk from the listing, and there are great shops all around it, including konbini, bakeries, clothing shops, izakayas, restaurants, etc. The location is very small, so while it can technically hold as many as 5 people, between luggage and trying to get around, it will be extremely cramped. If you can easily sleep on standard futons, you'll be okay, and the twin bed is very comfortable. Also, note that the shower room isn't very private as it's part of the main room, so if you are with people you don't know very well, changing in the shower room will be tough. Besides those small issues, this is a highly recommended listing for a small group.
