Enjoy a stay in the jungle on the Hilo side of Big Island, right next to the Volcano National Park and well situated for exploring the black and green sand beaches on the southern shore! The place is lush and quiet, and the host Satoshi is very accommodating. There are some drawbacks, however: The slightly too small toilet stalls (only a problem if you're a tall person), the finnicky showers (hard to get the right mix of hot and cold water). Then there are the cold rooms: no heating in the main hall and (large) kitchen / dining room, and no insulation in the rooms themselves combined with cold weather leads to cool conditions. Lastly, while there are many pans available, they are quite aged and the non-stick coating is coming off or entirely gone.
