Lovely old building in the middle of Iwamura. Lovely lady that keeps has the hostel, doesnt speak English but is very kind and with some google-translation and sign-language that wasn't a problem. She gave me a good recommendation for restaurant and she waved me goodbye at the train station, so nice.

“Such a memorable stay in all respects”
Outstanding property which exceeded our expectations in all fronts. Peaceful, clean and such a great example of ryokan hospitality in rural Japan. Toki is an exceptional host who warmed our hearts with friendly and loving care - using google translate we had alot of laughs. You are a very special person Toki and definitely a highlight of our trip. Toki was very helpful with organising things with and for us and Iwamura is a beautiful quiet town with no westerners. Lovely rural stay

This was an unexpected highlight of our Japan trip in the beautiful old town of Ena. Loved this area so much. The property was spotlessly clean and I loved the scent of Cyprus throughout from the woodwork. Amazing value for money!
