very close to the train station and the beach

“Perfect location for surfers or day-trip visitors to Aoshima Island”

Incredible location in Aoshima between the train station and Aoshima Island (5 minutes walk). The owner was very welcoming, chill and respectful. There is plenty of space for anyone surfing to leave their stuff, as well as a shower right near the entrance to take a wash after going to the beach. The beds are comfy and there is also a kitchen space for anyone wanting to cook. I met some very friendly, welcoming surfers at the hostel who contributed to the lovely vibes. The wifi is also pretty decent.

“Great guesthouse near to Aoshima Station and short walk to beachfront.”

Great guesthouse near to Aoshima Station and short walk to beachfront. Ideal for solo travellers.

it's a peaceful and friendly place, the room is comfortable even if not very big. the staff is exceptional! and the people I met here were all friendly.

“Okay”

The room was comfortable and spacious, it was nice.

Staff was friendly and welcoming. The room was a good size.and the location was great

Good location

Zero security, unsafe. Appears to be some thoroughfare so other apartments. No bathroom privacy and filthy. Photos are not a true liking to this property. Absolute disgrace.

The room and bathroom were fine. It's also next to Aoshima station which is really convenient!

“100% recommend, I’ll come back :)”

Nice and warm atmosphere hostel, I’ve booked for 4 days at first and end up staying for almost a month, the owner have different option for different type of travellers, dorms , single room , double rooms and also a traditional wooden house in a forest you can find everyone of them on the name Hooju. I’ve been in the dorms , the atmosphere is amazing , you can meet a lot of surfers and travellers from all around the world, the location is just 2 minutes walking from the surf spot and you can also rent wetsuits, board and bike here. Every day the kitchen, bathrooms and bedroom was cleaned by the stuff. The wifi is fast! And the owner is soo friendly and he will help you with your experience , there’s also always some of the stuff employees around the place so you can ask easily to them everything you need. Oh I forgot to say , this hostel is the cheapest I’ve ever found in Japan and for what it offers I really recommend it!

“Super good to socialize my self and get to know about traveling as backpacker”

This hostel is super international and you can meet a lot of young back packers and exchange the information about next destinations. Also many back packers came here to stay just several days but they extend their stay because this town is calm and good for surfing and chill. I made a couple of friends here from European countries and exchanged contact for someday we meet up in some other places like south East Asian countries or in their home countries. It was a good experience for me and can’t wait to come back here to meet them again and go surfing!!

“Decent stay. I felt like I paid more that what it's worth. Very good location though.”

I came quite early way before check in time. I was planning to just drop off my luggage but the host kindly allow me to check in early. Great location, close to Aoshima shrine.

Good place, near to the famous Shrine.

“Nice stay close to surfing beach”

It’s really close to the beach, so we always walked to go surfing (~10 min). It’s clean and the rooms are nice.

“It was ok but on hindsight would have picked a different place to stay instead.”

Near the station, convenient location.

“I still enjoyed my stay”

It was really close to the sea and the place was really nice in an old style, also, the shower was big

“Relaxed surf vibes”

Don't hesitate to book this hostel. It is 2 min walking from the perfect beach and the beautiful island of Aoshima. The house has a typical Japanese style. The host is a very relaxed Japanese peron who would always help with anything you need. Volunteers and guests are also very nice people. Everyone in this surf town is super chill.

“was wonderful! :)”

wonderful location! Nice and spacious private room.

“Good place, but not in the dormitory”

The beach is close, the guesthouse has (old) surfboards to rent at a very affordable price. Aoshima is a great place to catch waves and enjoy the ocean.
