There was a mouse in the kitchen.

The location and surrounding was peaceful.

We thought there was a restaurant on site, but it was no longer open and we didn’t realize that. We also found that there was very little food available in the town after 3 PM. Many businesses in the town were closed. It wasn’t easy to enjoy the community and the surrounding area without a car.

The facility was very clean. showers and laundry facilities were appreciate.

Too many one time plastic cup and not enough one time paper cup which they can give one mug for each guest instead of. Mugs can be washed & reused in the hostel all the time.

Clean, bed is comfortable, just 3 mins walk to the station where most of shops and restaurants around. There is no shared kitchen which I don’t usually use but free laundry is a big plus. Highly recommended.

Such friendly staff and very clean property. Free and good quality laundry facilities. Location was fantastic and within moments of the national park. The staff went out of their way to help me and were so friendly and welcoming.

The staff is very friendly. The place is beautiful. You can walk to the Onuma Park in 5 minutes. I would come back here for sure.

Nothing. It was wonderful.

I loved how the location was near a national park. It was nice to be able to take a walk at the park as well as explore the town.

Our room was cool and quiet. The hostel employees were very nice and helpful. The area around the town is stunningly beautiful! We also had a great dinner in this gem of a family-run cafe: Cafe Diane!

They should provide an electric kettle and microwave oven for everyone to access at anytime, now one has to request in there Bar, which closes at 10PM. I needed warm water in morning and night as well. Also, there is no normal drinking water available, I saw one water kettle but had lemons mix water. I was unable to buy water because didn’t find any store nearby opened. If you are coming from Shin Hokuto then most of local trains stops 1 kilometer behind at Onuma Station, only few trains stop at Hostels nearby station called Onumakoen Station. There is one morning train stops at Onumakoen Station 6:46AM for going to catch Shinkansen (Bullet Trains) but you have change another train at Onuma Station. If you drop at late evening in Shin Hokuto then it will be total nightmare, local trains have odd hours, I had to wait 1 hour in the late evening alone and in cold then had to walk for 1.30km from Onuma Station to Hostel because train didn’t stop at Onumakoen Station. They should charge less, it’s expensive for a dormitory bed with limited facilities.

Great staff, one of the service lady speaks good English and she was so kind. They have a bar, I ordered drinks.

The closest convenience store is more than 1km away: the road isn’t well lit at night so it might be uncomfortable. There is a very affordable taxi Center at the convenience store though. The door to the room cannot be locked. There are no storage facilities in the room (or elsewhere), no reading lights, no mirrors. We were at most two, but if we had been at full capacity (four) there wouldn’t have been enough space to be comfortable. The bathtroom area is shared with the cafe clientele and from there the rooms area is easily accessible by anyone. The staff weren’t particularly nice, they were in a terrible hurry when they checked me in (within check in hours) and made me feel like a nuisance.

The village is pretty, the nature is beautiful. The lodge is an annex to a cafe and bar and that can be convenient.
