Our family of 4 (children are high school students) used it.You can enjoy free drinks at the coworking space on the 1st floor.There is a bath shop nearby.When I stayed at Hotori, I received a discount email and was able to get in cheaply.There is also a footbath in a nearby park.I asked the manager to tell me about some delicious restaurants nearby. Everything was delicious.I want to go again.

Dormitory type hostel.I think it's quite beautiful in this price range compared to similar products in Japan and overseas. (Maybe it's just because it's been renovated.)Inside the shared room, in addition to curtains for each bed, there are partitions for each bunk bed, making it like a light semi-private room. It might be comfortable for two people.I'm glad that toothbrushes and earplugs are also on sale (there is a convenience store nearby).Although there are no showers, there is a community center next door? runs a day trip hot spring, and you can receive a coupon via email on the day of check-in.It looks like the number of private rooms will increase in the future due to renovations, so if you don't mind breakfast and dinner, this hostel is highly recommended.

I stayed here for one night when I visited Minakami by bicycle.The location is good, and the interior is stylish and clean.The owner was kind and gentle, so even though it was my first time staying at a guest house, I felt at ease using it.I had expected multiple people to share a room, but the rooms are basically separated by curtains, so it's almost a private room.You can use the coworking space for meals and social gatherings.There are no showers, but you will receive a discount coupon for a nearby hot spring.Basic appliances such as a refrigerator, microwave, toaster, and kettle are available, and there is also a simple kitchen where you can cook.You can also use power, WiFi, chargers, etc.Coffee and barley tea are also free.When I went there, I peeled pears, so I shared some with them. It was truly exhausting.Now 3300 yen per night is an absolute bargain. Since it is a tourist destination, staying at a hotel in this area can easily cost over 10,000 yen, so it was a great option for students who don't have a lot of money.It became a memory of a fun trip. I'm really thankful to you.I would like to use it again when I visit Minakami.

I got on the wrong train and was at a loss when I got to Minakami Station for the last train, but I was saved because I was able to stay late at night (-_-;)next time,I would like to come again as a solo traveler.

A valuable coworking space in a hot spring town.The location is good, but the cleanliness seems a little lacking. Things seem to be a lot more cluttered compared to when I first started...

It's very convenient and comfortable, but I think it would be even better if it was cleaned up a little more properly.
