The facilities were as expected. The guesthouse is near the shinkansen station, 20mins from the JR station and close to all the main tourist attractions.

Great little hostel, close to the shinkansen station and good hiking. For me the best part, was the breakfast where you are shown how to make your own rice balls

“Nice stay!”
Its very comfortable, wide sleeping area and a small locker for you to keep your important stuffs throughout your stay. But, theres only two showers, and no women only shower. For those who mind, its probably a small downside. The kitchen area is clean and its a nice place to stay for a solo traveller

“Great value for money”
Breakfast prepared by staff personally was a nice touch. The hot soup and simple Japanese breakfast were comforting and energizing, perfect for starting the day’s journey.

“Great location to explore Kobe and surroundings”
A good location close to shin-Kobe station. I can really recommend staying at this cozy guesthouse. You can walk to the city but also up the mountains this place is close to both and it makes it perfect to explore the area. Also they have a unique breakfast and teach you how to make your own onigiri 🍙

“Good for a short stay and to be close to the shinkansen station”
The breakfast was fun and the location was good, close to the mountain and the shinkansen station but a little far from downtown by foot.

“A deep sea blue little house”
I like the staff . Very nice people and nice to talk to them. I believe is a bunch of young students who try to run this hostel. Experience a traditional style of bedroom. Luckily it is only for a night stay .

“Amazing guesthouse and great vibes”
The guesthouse is only a 10-minute (slightly uphill) walk from Shin Kobe Station. So great for traveling to and from Kobe, but a bit further from some of the sights. Our private room with bunkbeds was spacious and very clean. The beds were really comfy as well. Staff are super friendly and the make-your-own-onigiri breakfast was filling and fun. Highly recommended!

Small, but cute and clean. Very close to Shin-Kōbe. Nice touch - making my own Japanese breakfast on instruction.
