    ✅ the receptionist/owner can speak Japanese. He’s really cool and always said hi to me when I would come and go from the hostel. ✅ it’s half the price of other hostels (at least when I visited). It’s on the main road, so you have a lot of...

    The pool was a real highlight, perfect for relaxing after a hot day. The breakfast buffet was pretty good too, with enough variety to start the day off right.

    Nice hostel with a pool right on-site — great for cooling off after a hot day. The atmosphere is laid-back, and it’s a good place to meet other travelers.

    I stayed here for a few days and honestly, for the price, you get everything you need — and even a bit more. This place is perfect for backpackers or anyone traveling on a tight budget. It’s affordable, but still manages to offer little comforts...
