A 2-star hostel in the heart of Okinawa main island's Kokusai Street. Guests frequently mention cleanliness and the convenience of shared facilities in reviews.
Reviews across booking sites repeatedly praise the abundance of showers and toilets, allowing use without waiting. Beds are comfortable, lockers are spacious for luggage, and the communal cafe offers free water and tea. Proximity to Makishi Station and bus terminal makes travel easy.
