    It was far away from the city, impossible to find any convenience store if needed by walking distance There might have some Insects You can hear the noise from next door if they are chatting

    The neighbourhood is very quiet Provide free parking slot The staff/owner is very friendly The atmosphere is very chill Close to some travel attractions

    The futon was a little uncomfortable but it was fine for a couple of nights.

    The host was nice and everything was clean. The nearby cave is amazing and only a short walk away.

    The owner can cook nice food and was very helpful, it is very close to the cave and the transportation from Shin-Yamaguchi to Akiyoshido is very easy - find the bus station then find platform 2.

    The beds were a little thin on for the wood floor.

    What a wonderful place to stay! We stayed for two nights, and on the first night had a lovely social dinner with other guests. The location was great and an easy walk to Akiyoshidai and Akiyoshi Cave.

    It's pretty far from city or groceries, we had a car but otherwise you have to be careful at bus timetable or taxi.

    This was a lovely place right next to the caves, accessible by foot where you can walk and hike in nature. very calm, quiet, lovely for relaxing time. The host was very kind and was nice talking to him. We loved the bar in the evening, there's some simple food and beer available. parking available the room had many futons and we were free to position them as we wanted, so typical housing very cute.

    Bugs

    There were so many bugs. Roaches in the bathroom and I woke up with a centipede crawling on me. In all I think I killed 5 centipedes in my room and there were a lot of other bugs besides that. Everything felt generally dirty. We were given the wrong key to our room and got locked out. It was difficult to get ahold of the owner, but someone showed up about 90 minutes after we contacted them. There are VERY few options for food in this area so be prepared and have stuff with you. No supermarket or convenience store close by. There are a few restaurants, but they close early and are about a 20-30 minute walk away.

    The owner is really nice. He drove us to the bus station at the end of our trip. The location is close to the cave and lots of hiking trails! The location was easy to find.

    Pillows were a bit scrunchy on the floor futons; had to make due by folding up other bed components.

    Extremely remote; best to visit by vehicle, be it car, motorcycle, or bicycle. Stars are extremely visible at night, and it's wonderfully quiet. It's nice to sit in the main lounge area and talk to the owner, as well as check out his collections of toys, books, and music. Walkable to Akiyoshido Cave.

    A very comfortable guest house nearby Akiyoshido Caves. The owner is friendly and easy to communicate to, he even knows some English! The rooms are wide and very clean, the bathroom as well. The best part of the house is probably the shared space. Filled with fascinating furniture, it looks like a vintage shop. There is even a small stage with a drum set and some guitars! At dinner time we enjoyed some delicious taco rice made by the owner and some Japanese sake and craft beers. Very positive experience, highly recommended!

    Disappointed at kid rate unannounced

    They do not mention about children age and additional fee. They also not mentioned about this when I checked about kids and age. On check in date, surprisingly they charged my 3 year old kid as additional adult rate. To be fair, the property was not bad as a hostel but it was disappointing when I could have stayed in a nicer hotel with included breakfast and onsen in a nearby city center at the same paid amount instead. Totally not recommend for family with kids.

    pretty normal hostel.
