I would definitely recommend this lovely little hostel! I just needed somewhere to rest before a big day of exploring the Volcano National Park the next morning.
It was a great location--probably a 15 minute drive to the park, and about 10 minutes from a local farmer's market in the morning where I stopped and grabbed a bit to eat.
It was clean, lots of blankets and sheets for every bed. The kitchen was a great addition.
I arrived late in the evening and despite it being after hours, check-in was very easy because Satoshi was great with his directions and communication about arrival. However, it was pretty dark from where the parking area was next to the Japanese School House so come prepared with a flashlight for the short walk up the stairs to the front porch if you come later in the evening.
Overall, it was a great and easy stay!
