“Super popular place, so good to book very early!”
It was my first time staying in a dorm room and I'm glad I gave it a try here. The location was very good, water shower was strong, there's storage space for luggage under the bed, and the whole place was very cosy.

“Home”
Cozy house vibes. It actually felt like a family was hosting me. Massive kitchen. So many appliances. I could easily stay there for over a week. Many showers, bathrooms and sinks so I didn’t have to worry about rushing in there or them being occupied. They also offer a discount for a tattoo friendly onsen which is within a minute walk. Fantastic after a long hike.

Beautiful hostel with absolutely everything you could need. Run to a very high standard. Impeccably clean. Dorms and shared facilities are very well designed. Would have stayed longer if there had been availability.

“Definitely recommend”
Location is great, walking distance from the Aso station where the bus depart to Aso crater. Konbini nearby. Big shared space to eat and great kitchen with all you need to cook. Books to read even in English. Rooms were great very clean, very convenient. I felt at ease here. Many people but very respectful about the noise. You can leave your luggage before check in.
