Hotel Analysis
Based on 2 sites · 492 reviews
A budget hostel in Oki, Yanagawa, set in an old Japanese house amid rice paddies. Guests feel like they're staying at grandma's countryside home with its simple, rustic vibe.
Reviews often praise the fully usable kitchen facilities. Free bikes for countryside cycling, helpful owner, and quiet surroundings get repeated mentions. Families like the board games and spacious common areas.
Common complaints include strong toilet smells, moldy showers, drafts and noise from window gaps. Rooms feel cold in winter with weak AC. It's 20-30 mins walk from the station, so best for those with a car.
