I had an unforgettable time in my short stay here. After wandering through town without accommodation and being pointed in this direction, I really feel it was true serendipity.Umi San & Erika San, both provide a very warm and welcoming atmosphere in both their hostel and the bar. It truly feels like a bridge between foreigners/travellers, and the local community.The space feels like a love letter to arts of all forms, you can see artwork, crafts, photography, musical instruments, provided by many previous guests and friends of the owner.Price is good, the space is clean and modern, and the bar is well stocked and well tended.I leave a happier man

The hotel is located in a charming little town a stone's throw from the T23. The welcome was warm, the rooms and common areas clean, comfortable and nicely decorated. The staff was available and very pleasant. The charm of this hotel lies partly in the rooftop which allows us to admire the sea, the temple and the city!本当にありがとうございました!

Gorgeous hostel with beautiful atmosphere and vibes. Minami is such a picturesque and special town that I stayed here one day just to enjoy.. plus the onsen and restaurant of the hotel next to the cliff added to the whole experience. It felt really good to stay at Ichi and I could live my bicycle with no probs.

Very nice hostel run by a friendly & helpful young couple. Perfect place to stay the night, relax and refuel before heading south to the more remote parts of the island while walking the Shikoku Henro.

A timeless place, we loved it. It's very clean, in a small village. On request, you can have a meal prepared. We slept very well. Everything is translated into English. The bar, the common room and the room are very pleasant. We will keep an excellent view of the place and the turtle village (swimming prohibited).

A great hostel experience. A lovely, stylish renovation, great common space, kitchen available, super clean throughout, comfortable beds, good showers, washer dryer available. The owner speaks English well, has great recommendations in town, and is really helpful. The staff is fabulous and speak English. There is a terrific bar attached and two roof decks. I had a super relaxed time here, meet some lovely people and a plus - cross room air in the dormitory feels like you're at the beach.
