Kakunodate Guest House Choux

I actually was the only guest at the hostel when I went. I guess Kakunodate is not a popular city for foreigners, but I personally liked that. The staff was also super nice and they speak English.

It was cozy, clean, good location (not so far way walking from the station) and they were really really kind :)

The women's area is just separated by the man's area by a curtain hehe it was ok for me, but if you want specifically a woman's area may be odd. Other guests were a bit noisy before 5 am :( but apart from that everything was good

Best pillow among the hostels I've stay at so far! But more importantly the owners are very kind and generous and their lovely daughter likes to be social :) Shame not to spend more time in the area. Great to have a bar to hang your clothes/coat up!

Be mindful of the big stairs leading up to the rooms if you have lots of luggage. I note that they kindly carried my suitcase up the stairs! I didn't on this occasion but I believe it's fair enough - note that if you take a bath it is an additional 500yen.

Very clean and comfy place! The host was so friendly! She helped us find the best way to avoid traffic jams on our way to the festival. I definitely recommend this place!
