We only stayed 1 night in Holoholo Inn but wish it could have been longer. Thank you Satoshi for responding to our last-minute request to book!

PRO: Room was nice and very clean. Beds were super comfortable (we didn't want to get up to do our morning hike) and Satoshi provided lots of blankets. The room itself can get cold (that's what the blankets are for). The communal kitchen was huge. Loved the wooden floors and furniture.

Satoshi also gave a brief tour on where everything in the hostel was, plus showed a map of Volcano (there are only 4 places to eat in the village so there's a good chance that you'll be cooking during your stay).

CON: The shared bathroom is a bit small and needs some floor repairs (there's a weak spot that's just covered by duct tape).

STUFF TO CONSIDER:
1. Satoshi doesn't allow early check-ins nor bag drops. We arrived in Volcano by 9am so we were hoping we could leave our bags in the hostel while we went around the park. He did not respond to our request so we assumed that it wasn't allowed and kept our bags in the car. Of course it's within his rights to accept bag drops or not. It's just something to consider.

2. Parking is in the lot next door, not in front of the hostel. While it's a short walk, it can get muddy and slippery and not something I'd want to navigate in the dark. There are some lights but not enough IMHO.
