“Perfection!!”

“Excellent”

Great spot…thoroughly enjoyed night in dome despite rain!!

The rooms were clean, the staff were lovely, we loved that it was secluded and away from lots of tourism. We spent 2 nights in the Japanese room with futon beds and one night in the outside pod and everything was perfect. We loved the sauna and views too!

“Perfect Relaxing Stay”

Denim Hostel is definitely a place you go to relax and escape the cities. It is very relaxing - i stayed in FUNE as a solo traveller, and enjoyed a glass of wine and coffee on the balcony and the peace. Also not advertised here, but you can request the Indigo Dyeing experience - this occurs at 3pm, and for ¥3000 you can dye a piece of your own clothing, or purchase a shirt from the shop. It was a lot of fun, and I dyed a shirt and pants set - it came out amazing! I also loved that you can reserve the onsen to yourself for an hour - basically prior to 9pm the onsen is only available via booking on their website, and after 9pm it is open to all. Make sure to book in advance!

“Lovely stay”

The most lovely stay in the tent! Best bed in Japan we had. Loved the details such as the coffee and the breakfast boxes.

“Stunning views”

I liked the whole concept with sauna, restaurant and shop. Place is stylish and with superb view and overall atmosphere was pleasant. The stuff was very eager to help and did everything for my comfortable stay. It was quite convenient for me after visiting Naoshima. Although a bit tricky without a car

“Good stay in a denim themed hostel”

Positive: Nice view from the room, the denim concept that is visible in the hostel, the great breakfast and friendly staff. Negative: The hostel is along a busy road, so sleeping with earplugs in was necessary for us as we're not used to that. Dinner choices are limited.

“We had a wonderful time staying here. The staff made us feel welcomed and made our stay memorable.”

Great view the beach is right in front of you.

“A wonderful stay and I wouldn’t hesitate to go back.”

A unique and beautiful room by the sea, but the jewel in the crown of this hotel is the warm and happy reception from Mayuko, who greeted me like an old friend and made me feel so welcome throughout my stay. Breakfast was delicious and the private bath a real treat. Thank you.

“We had a lovely stay, the meal we had was a super pleasant surprise. The staff who helped us spoke excellent English and”

The room we stayed in had a wonderful view and sitting outside with a coffee in the morning was a highlight.

“relaxation with a view”

Stunning Japanese room, great view, friendly staff. And nice cafe on site

“Top 10”

Wonderful stay, nice people, good food, amazing room.

“Amazing view, with coffee!”

The location was amazing with a view on the islands! However, there is very little around, and could be complicated access without own transport. The staff was kind and welcoming. Stayed in kumo (tent), which was amazing, super clean and comfortable with full amenities. They also offer free pour over coffee, to make yourself. It really made the experience truly unique! The shared bathroom was very clean, and spacious. They offer several free beauty amenities. They offer a sauna and meal experience at extra charge. It's great value, I would stay there again!

“Overall great value for what you’ve paid for”

Great sea view. Big bath tub.

The view is amazing. Staff is very caring, restaurant is nice. Bathroom and makeup room are great! I recommend the tent (Kumo)

Stunning location, beautiful views of the sea from my room. Staff were so lovely and helpful. Breakfast was tasty, as was the lasagne that they serve for dinner. Everything was very clean. Mount Ouijigatame Thank you!!

“Quality accommodation off the typical tourist Japan route”

It is a very beautiful space to spend time. I was in the wooden hut with the big window, and it was a gorgeous place to relax and reset. The bed was comfortable. Plenty of space. Lots of natural light. Incredible sea view. Staff were super helpful. I had the best coffee in my 3 weeks in Japan here. Enjoyed dinner one night which was a good quality. I used it as a base to visit Naoshima. It works, but the connections for bus and boat can be infrequent so it ended up being a long day. For me it was nice to experience quality accommodation with character and attention to detail, a little off the normal traveller route in Japan.

“Perfect getaway by the sea”

Perfect place for a getaway from the busier locations in Japan. Location has a beautiful view of the sunset (especially the Fune room). A great spot if you plan to visit attractions in areas like Naoshima and Shikoku, or if you want some peace and quiet in nature as it has good hikes and beaches nearby. Staff were great to talk to. They super friendly and helpful throughout the stay!

“Scenic!”

Great location easy to get to right next to the bus stop to Kojima or Uno and beautiful view from the room. Very good wine & lasagne! Very kind and helpful team too.

“Such a gem!”

The place is such a gem! First of all you wake up every day with a stunning view of the Seto Inner Sea. What’s more - everything is clean, towels are fluffy, air conditioning working tirelessly, sauna with cold bath if you want, and amazing food in the restaurant. If you mention any allergies or food restrictions, the cook will go above and beyond to make you something special that is not even on the menu. But it would not be possible without the host that not only speaks perfectly in english but is very thoughtful and caring, seems really interested in your experience, finds you transportation, recommends places to visit and makes you feel welcomed and taken care of, and that is a skill not easy to find. It was our second trip to Japan, we have been traveling for a few weeks both times and that was easily our favorite place. We’ve felt safe and there was not even one spider, and that is a quality in itself in that region. 10 out of 10.
