I love this place. It was a bit empty when I was there, but the few people I did meet for the short time that I had the chance(including Satoshi himself) gave me great relief from the hustle bustle vibe from Honolulu.
The inn is a neat cabin style hostel in the middle of the forest of Volcano. The air is crisp, the neighbors are friendly, the house is quaint and loaded with Satoshi’s thousands of books, and emanates a felling of warmth and friendly vibes.
Satoshi himself lives on a farm close by and gives rides to others in town periodically when school is in session. He has created a place that embodies the true Aloha spirit. He’s a hard working, generous, and an all around interesting and friendly human being. You would be very lucky to meet him.
