Don't go there!My friend and I rented this accommodation for one night on RBNB. The ad looked like a normal RBNB in a beautiful old house. When we arrived there the owner or an employee showed us our room and it was at that moment that I realized that there were others as if it were a dormitory. Then the shower was cold, impossible to have diet water. The reason why I ask you not to go there and why we complained to RBNB is that there was a man at 11:30 in the evening who came to our room (the doors do not lock) to sleep in the next room which is as big as a closet (I'm talking about a closet since to access it you have to enter the master bedroom and the wall was not completely closed at ceiling level). Luckily there were four of us, but we were all girls and the RBNB advert announced that it was a place only for women while we spent the night there. Throughout the evening people as well as the owners passed through our room without knocking on the door to get cushions located in the same room/closet in which the man slept. Even if the owner checked our IDs to enter, it is still a dangerous place where anyone can enter your room at night.For other small details, he offers towels for ¥100 which are in fact tea towels not even big enough to go around the body.

To flee!!!!! ScamWe had booked a dormitory for 4 which apparently does not exist since there is only a dormitory for 6 where we slept with the staff! But the worst still remains the “mattress” which only has the name: already thin originally once in the middle you can literally feel the slats! It’s a shame to make customers pay for these conditions! No room for luggage, even fewer cupboards that close and no curtains on the window for car headlights and daylight.In the morning the manager is more interested in her phone than her customers in saying hello.The parking lot advertised as private is in fact paid and tiny even for our already small car.We were full of praise for the manager, who barely got up from her sofa to say sorry and that was it. Of all the hostels we stayed in in Japan, it was the worst!

Honestly, the only good thing about this place was the location.Our room was not only dirty (hair in between the futons, mouse poo on the floor, cobwebs & dust all around the ceilings and what looked like coffee spilt all down the wall), but it was right beside the only shower & toilet (for 12+ people), and there was no way to lock the room from the outside.We had to ask multiple times for people to keep their voices down after 11pm as the walls are paper thin & you could honestly hear someone fart from the other side of the hostel. As expected, people were up from 6am making noise, so you'll be lucky to get 6 hours sleep, even with earplugs in.The bathroom was disgusting - mould all around the fittings, ceiling and walls + the shower head was off centre to the bath, and just ended up soaking the whole space. There is no working sink in the toilet, so good luck washing your hands while the bathroom is in use.The kitchen was filthy, with a food left on the sink & a bag of rubbish left in there for over 24 hours - when we woke up the second day it reeked of fish & whatever else had been dumped in there.I honestly wished we had of spent a little more for a hotel.

The owner is very kind, but the sound insulation is not very good. The heating is turned on so loudly that it will make you unable to sleep.But when I went there, there were many Taiwanese helpers, and we had a lot of fun chatting together.
