This place is neatly tucked away amidst lush greenery - perfect if you are looking for an idyllic stay like we were. The house architecture reflects the Japanese origins of Mr Satoshi, the owner - high ceilings, wooden interiors & floors, coupled with earthy and relaxing interiors. We enjoyed a morning chat with Mr Satoshi who shared his world travel experiences in the 70's and some interesting tidbits about building this hostel from the ground up. He and his wife put in a lot of work every day to maintain the pristine natural surroundings and keep the house clean. Bonus: This hostel is right next to the volcano national park (<5min drive).
All in all, we LOVED our stay here. In fact, we liked it so much that we extended it. :)
