Ukiha is a stylish townhouse hostel in Yoshii.I visited the cafe for lunch.First of all, it's very reasonable!Also, if you need it for the main dish, you can choose side dishes such as soup or salad, or an after-meal drink, so I think it's nice that you can adapt it to your stomach.I then ordered a hamburger steak and it was very delicious! The demi-glace sauce was the best. The potato potage was also rich and this soup made me want to come back here again.I bought quiche and scones for takeout and they were delicious too.The shop also has a nice atmosphere.

Absolutely perfect 👌This is our first hostel in Japan, after traveling for months through South Asia. The hosts are very friendly and accommodating. The hostel is exceptionally clean. It has all the amenities you can wish for. The food is expertly prepared, every item we tasted was perfect. The whole hostel has a very homey feeling, including the cafe downstairs. It is also located perfectly.We can find no fault, thanks for providing the perfect start to our Japan trip ✌️

The food is delicious and the prices are more than reasonable, but what really makes Farolito stand out are the owners! They're such kind people, great to chat with while you enjoy a drink and always helpful if you have any questions. I definitely recommend staying here instead of a hotel if you want a more authentic experience, as well as some amazing food!

For my second visit to Ukiha, I chose this accommodation because it was reasonably priced. The smell of the accommodation was really nice and it was clean overall. The owner couple were also very friendly and nice. If I go to Ukiha again, I 100% intend to go again.
