Good place for stay overnight if riding Shimanami Kaido over two days. Don't miss the set menu dinners at their cafe. You get an appetizer (more like three), a salad, a soup, a main dish with rice and a dessert for under 2000 yen, and the meal was excellent.

Highly recommended

Comfortable and relaxed hostel. Originally only planned to stay for one night, but extended my stay to three nights and used the place as a base to explore the surrounding islands. Having a convenience store (Family Mart) right opposite the hostel was also very …convenient!

The hostel offers dinner which is good considering the lack of options nearby. Food is a little expensive but it came as a full course meal with a unique sakura dessert. Other guests were generally quiet but since the rooms/pods only have a curtain to close them you can hear noises clearly

All facilities were in top shape, very friendly staff and delicious dinner options. All beds/rooms are arranged like “capsules” with lockable curtains providing a modicum privacy, but of course let every noise through. That goes for single beds, single bed rooms and twin rooms. Regardless, would highly recommend for 1 night stays!

2024/05、ドミトリー素泊まりで利用。 しまなみ海道からも近く、道の駅やコンビニも徒歩圏内にあったり、かなり便利な立地。 海沿いなので朝夕にコンビニコーヒーを飲んでぼーっとするだけでも気持ちよく過ごせた。 滞在時はそこまで混んでおらず、他の宿泊者と間隔をあけてもらう気遣いもあったので睡眠も快適でした。 当日に夕食も頼んだら、 ¥2000ほどでプチコースを美味しくいただいた。
