Like an up-market Youth Hostel A lovely vibe with very friendly hosts. We only stayed one night (on the way to the Kumano Kodo) but could have easily stayed longer. Our family of 5 stayed in a room with 4 sets of bunks. It was quite large in comparison with other places we stayed in Japan. We stayed with family in one room and other friends in 3 different rooms. Loved that they had local craft beer for sale and the restaurant up the road (Blue Fish) was also great. also nice eateries nearby (that open around 10-11am) and an Onsen and laundromat nearby. We could have used the bike hire if better organised.
