Guest Reviews

• numazawa (5/5): 反省 - 天の橋立から程なく着く場所 交通による騒音が無い ユースホステルと言うものを理解していないと不便さを感じる
• kojima (8/5): - 静かで、スタッフの方が良かったです、お風呂も清潔でした、 べつにありません
• caron-bufe (8/5): -
• Bailly (10/5): - Les chambres sont spacieuses avec tatami, et une petite véranda. Le dîner était délicieux, avec riz à volonté. Idem pour le petit-déjeûner. Rien
• Ivy (6/5): - The staff were friendly , nice little eating area. Quiet and peaceful. At a convenient location. It was a good walk from the main Street, if you don't really like walking. I found the rooms to be dusty.
• 靖久 (8/5): -
• Hitoshi (8/5): 機会があればまた利用したいです。 - お風呂にゆっくり浸かれます。談話室で無料のお茶やコーヒーを飲みながら、談笑ができまして 特にありません
• hara (7/5): - 海が見える食堂が最高。 女性専用フロアがあり、安心。コスパが良い。 お隣の神社⛩️が、散歩すると癒される。 特にない。
• Anya (6/5): A bit overpriced for the experience - The view from the hostel was great, as the hostel is on a hill. The room was spacious and the bed had a lot of storage and privacy curtains. There was even a little conservatory area outside the room to relax or dry laundry in the sun. The lounge area was also comfortable. Everything about the building seems very old and outdated. The windows would audibly shake quite loud anytime the room door was opened or closed. The interior is makes it feel like a hospital - very cold and not very cosy feeling. Although they have an onsen, the showers aren't clean - lots of mould. It's quite close to the amanohashidate sandbar, but it's a 30 minute bus journey and then 10 minute quite steep uphill walk from the train station (with all of my luggage this wasn't too fun). It's also not close to any restaurants or convenience stores. Almost everything was about an hour's walk away. The bed is traditional japanese style, and although i'm used to the futon and bean pillow now after living in Japan for a while, i still feel more comfortable with a regular pillow. I don't know if it was only the one night i stayed but there was almost no social vibe at all.
• Georgia (10/5): -
• ママタン (10/5): - 家族で3月に利用。 夕飯に奮発してカニ料理をお願いしたところ、ボリュームに驚きました🦀茹で・焼き・お鍋と堪能し、朝食もとても美味しくいただきました。 海外の方や一人旅の方も、コーヒー、紅茶など食堂でいただきながらゆったり過ごせました。 ロケーションとしては天橋立観光や眞名井神社参拝にオススメです✨ ぜひまた訪問したいです! 特にありません
• KOJI (10/5): また泊まりたい - 立地とスタッフの方と朝ごはんがとても良かった 古さがありますが旅のアジとしてはとてもいい
• Agathe (9/5): Super séjour et super repas ! - Le rapport qualité prix est imbattable! Le repas en demi pension ainsi que le petit déjeuner était vraiment très bon je recommande! Il faisait très froid dans les couloirs mais la batisse étant ancienne cela était à prévoir! mais le chauffage dans la chambre était nettement suffisant!
• WENCI (8/5): -
• Hung Anh (8/5): -
• Ana (7/5): -
• Nathalie (6/5): - Grande salle commune avec des jeux, livres et vinyles/platine en accès libre Très belle vue depuis les chambres et la salle commune sur Amanohashidate Propreté à revoir (couettes sales, sento des hommes avec des traces vertes partout, cuisine non nettoyée) Toilettes et couloir glacials
• Sarah (10/5): 100% recommend! - Everything is amazing ! Lots of space, good explanation of the place, good equipments like a kotatsu or a sento ! The jaanese breakfast was delicious, and because this is the low season, i was alone in the dormitory :) Only thing to say is it's a bit hard going up with your luggage but the view and the temple next to it make it worth it. Also, i guess the bed are not the most comfortable but still very good for the price.
• KENJI (7/5): - ロケーションがぐっと 良くも悪くも相部屋なので、部屋の総意に沿っとるか 自分で快適に過ごせるよう工夫が必要である
• Nagisa (9/5): 全体的に館内が林間学校で利用するような雰囲気で久々に学生の気分を味わえました；； - 従業員の方がご親切で明るい気持ちになれました^^ 部屋は相部屋でしたが同性の方同士で部屋を固めてくれている感じがして不安はなかったです 美味しい朝食をいただけました 自然に囲まれた場所なので仕方ないですが虫のサイズがかなり大きいです(笑) ただ部屋には出なかったのでそこは救いでした( .ˬ.)"
• YOSHIKAZU (7/5): リラックス - 食堂で、リラックスできました、また利用したいです 特に無し
• Denilson (10/5): -
• XUAN (8/5): -
• ZHONGNAN (5/5): -
• MASAKI (5/5): -
• Ishizuka (9/5): コスパ良し。また行きたい - 天の橋立が見えてロケーションが良い。神社も近い。 ビールやお酒も購入可能。 熊出没の看板があってちょっとどきどきする
• Chintan (7/5): Lovely quaint hostel and good value for money. The staff is super nice! - Location, staff, and the dining room! The hostel doesn’t have great heating. It was very cold in the corridors (where there is no heating).
• Adriána (8/5): For simple travellers, women friendly, tatami for free - It was in the forest, and very pleasant. About 15 minutes walk, behind a temple and also near some shrine. There were also tatami in the room, no need to pay extra. So if you want traditional accommodation without paying extra, I recommend it. I was there when there were about 3 guests there. It is for undemanding travelers. I found a cockroach, heh. Little bit scary. The dining area was not very clean.
• NAOYA (10/5): -
• Sam (9/5): -
• Mickael (9/5): Excellent pour un petit séjour - Auberge située en début de montagne, c'est un endroit très calme avec une vue magnifique sur Amanohashidate. Très bon marché, il y a l'essentiel pour passer 1 ou quelques nuits en toute tranquillité et en tout confort. L'intérieur est assez ancien mais ce n'est pas gênant, car il y a tout ce qu'il faut Du thé, café, une bouilloire et diverses équipements de cuisine sont a disposition gratuitement, ce qui est pratique lorsqu'on ramène de la nourriture de supermarché Il y a même un petit sento pour se relaxer avant de dormir Équipements anciens Porte arrière de la chambre menant a la veranda qui ne ferme pas entièrement Serviette non fournie (sauf en supplément)

• CHENGYAO (8/5): 少數觀光區住宿有那麼靜謐的環境，且景致不錯 - 店員很友善，雖然語言不通但會找我孩子打招呼，看其他房客訂的餐點感覺很好吃，晚上蟲鳴陪伴入睡，清晨起來戶外環境很悠閒從小陽台看出的景觀很心曠神怡能遠眺天橋立，很適合喜歡享受大自然的人入住。 設備偏舊，房內禁飲食需在交誼廳飲食，因住宿位置離市區較遠，晚上很安靜不太能大聲說話，有些規定對我帶小孩入住來說比較嚴格，但以上不能算是缺點，因為自己想要在觀光區住便宜一點選擇入住青年旅社，就必須依旅社的規定，且大部分青年旅社也是差不多的規定，若是成人旅客無小孩，喜歡大自然，很推薦
• Charlotte (8/5): Für Naturliebhaber hervorragend. - Gemütlich eingerichteter Aufenthaltsraum. Lage am Berg mit grandiosem Blick über die Bucht.
• françoise (8/5): Séjour agréable - La gentillesse de l’accueil La vue sur la baie Les très bons repas ( diner et petit déjeuner) Les locaux sont un peu vétustes Il faut monter pour arriver à l’auberge !
• Ksenia (10/5): Magical place with a view and cosy atmosphere - If you're into vinyls, they have quite a collection there and it keeps growning with guests contributing too! Overall, waking up in the place and seeing Amanohashidate in the morning light from their wonderful terrace is going to be a memory I will cherish.
• chenglun (7/5): -
• jing fang (10/5): - 食べもの なし あ もし熊あった時 どうしようがちょっと心配でした でも何もなし よかった
• Yuhanis (8/5): Great way to expreience Kyoto by the Sea - The calm and serene place up the hill. Need to walk up the hill. If possible the property could provide e-bike for rent should be great.
• kazuto (8/5): 一晩寝るだけなら大満足でした - 価格の割に食事も込みで満足でした 部屋で小さなゴキブリが出ました 残念🤐
• Chun (8/5): 소도시 일본 여행중 기대이상의 매력이 있는 숙소였습니다. - 아마노하시다테의 소나무 숲길을 아침 일찍 산책하듯 걸을수있다는 것만으로도 만족한 1박입니다.바다가 보이는 식당에서 조식도 만족합니다. 노후된 숙소시설은 좀.. 보수가 필요할듯합니다.
• Mjbmc (10/5): -
• Winterborne (7/5): A bit overpriced for an average place - There was a nice, serene shrine nearby. They have breakfast and dinner available if you need it. Beds are warm, comfortable, and large enough. Free parking. Front desk lady was quite nice and helpful. Instructions, amenities, and facilities were clearly marked or explained. The public bath is small and made of stainless steel - cramped and slippery. The bathroom is quite far from some of the rooms, so if you need to use it in the middle of the night, it could be a long walk. The place is an old building with metal doors so it feels a bit cold and old. Lacks character. Price is much too high for what you get. The view from our room was an overgrown yard with junk stored on balconies in clear view and bamboo blocking the ocean.
• 建榮 (9/5): Good - 提供方便素食餐點，但要跟旅舍先預訂好。 沒有
• Enrique Alejandro (1/5): -
• Mami (6/5): -
• Mami (5/5): 立地が良かったです。 - スタッフの接客、対応がよかったです！
• BOWEN (9/5): -
• Ainhoa (8/5): Estancia agradable y acogedora - El alojamiento estaba muy bien y la chica de recepción fue muy amable y atenta. Sin embargo, hay que tener en cuenta que está un poco apartado del transporte y hay que subir una pequeña colina. Además, es necesario hacer tu propia cama y permanecer fuera de las habitaciones durante todo el día, lo que puede no convenir a todo el mundo. Aun así, la estancia fue correcta y el alojamiento es cómodo y agradable.
• Bert (8/5): - Tolles Essen, tolle Lage. Sehr aufmerksames Personal.
• Ryu (3/5): 要検討 - 目的地へのアクセス 清潔感、周りがうるさかった。
• dongju (6/5): -
• Yasuhiro (10/5): -
• 糸井 (9/5): - お値段 真名井の水 団体の若者たちのミーティングが続いており くつろぎにくかった
• Alice (7/5): A cozy rustic retreat hidden in the woods - The hostel is immersed in lush greenery, and the common room/breakfast area looks out on the bay. Truly lovely view of forest and sea! The bathrooms, showers and shared bath are all relatively new and clean. There are a couple of washing machines and driers you can use for a couple hundred yen! Breakfast is tasty and cheap, a typical Japanese meal set with rice, tofu and fish. Recommended! We didn’t have a chance to eat dinner here, but at only 1200¥ per person it sounds really convenient - especially because leaving and returning to the hostel at night can be difficult due to its rural location up a steep hill. The front staff is extremely kind and helpful! They received my luggage delivery and gave me useful information about transportation. Due to the natural location, the open verandas and dated fixtures, it’s inevitable to find a few spiders - which won’t be a problem for people braver than I! Keep in mind this is a simple, rustic experience in an older facility and the rooms reflect that. The bunk beds are a little dusty, so I would recommend the Japanese style tatami room. Due to the steep hill, I can’t recommend it for people with difficulties walking uphill.
• YUNG CHI (7/5): 整體老舊，但是看得出整理的用心，對於預算較少的旅客是一個很棒的選擇。 - 晚餐、早餐超級美味，份量足夠。需注意一泊二食只有含早餐（也許是翻譯問題），晚餐需提前告知額外加購。 房間內有怪味，推測為冷氣散發出的味道，但是可以忍受。 食堂空間大、舒適，備品齊全。 （女）衛浴有一間獨立的淋浴間，另有一個小澡堂。浴巾需至櫃檯額外購買。 旅館位於山上，要稍微爬一點坡，與車站大約20分鐘的步行距離。旅館旁邊有真名井神社。需注意熊出沒的風險，如果旅客沒辦法在天色未暗時抵達旅館，請斟酌。
• Giulia (8/5): Posto magico, un po' spartano - Il posto si trova all'ingresso del bosco di fianco al tempio Manai, per arrivarci ho seguito dei Tori e si fa un piccolo tratto nel bosco. Ci sono cartelli che ti mettono in guardia dagli animali selvatici, può mettere un po' d'ansia, ma per me hanno contribuito a rendere l'esperienza ancora più magica. L'ostello è un vero ostello, ti forniscono il sacco lenzuolo per dormire col futon. Le stanze sono grandi, hai spazio per appoggiare le cose e hai un armadietto di sicurezza grande, che ho apprezzato. La zona comune è molto bella, arredata come una scuola, quando ci sono i padroni c'è sempre musica. C'è la possibilità di usare tè e caffè gratuitamente, puoi farti cucinare la cena e la colazione pagando. Io non l'ho fatto ma sembravano entrambe deliziose. Di negativo purtroppo dovrò dire che certe zone non erano molto pulite, i bagni e le stanze principalmente. Tanta polvere e odore di umido. Viaggiando a piedi/in autobus non è molto comoda come posizione e devi stare attento a non perdere l'ultimo autobus o comunque a non fare troppo tardi perché non è bello tornare con il buio. Per questo non è molto comodo andare a cena fuori, ma per fortuna puoi cenare lì (chiedendo il pasto con anticipo) o usare la cucina comune.

• のぢ (6/5): 立地は最高です - ・近くに天橋立や神社があり、ロケーションは最高。 ・スタッフの方も丁寧に対応してくれた。 ・夕食で別料金で頼んだ舟盛りは美味しかった。 ・部屋は広い部屋を用意してくれてありがたかった。 ・自転車レンタルしたい事を前日に伝えたら、パンクを直してくれていた。 ・事前に連絡させてもらった時のレスポンスは早くて良かった。 ・部屋の匂いが気になった（エアコン⁈）　 ・夕食で1人1200円支払ったが、業務用スーパーで売っているような白身魚のフライ2枚と酢の物、ナスとピーマンの味噌炒め、味噌汁だった。舟盛りを頼んでおいて良かった。周辺でも、もう少しお金を足せば美味しいものが食べられたと思う。
• Sheng Yi (10/5): -
• o-town-davo (2/5): - The only positive thing about this accommodation was its location and accessibility to Miyazu, Yosano and the surrounding area, as there were not many available accommodation capacities in the area. Otherwise it was a big disappointment and one felt like one was in a third world country and not in Japan. The price for the accommodation absolutely did not correspond to the quality offered. Just the night before we had a hotel for only a slightly higher price, but the quality of this accommodation was many times higher. This accommodation was more like a hostel, which is fine, but it rather resembled some horror hostel from a B-movie horror movie. You can see that the building is older, which is also fine, but apart from its age it also seemed very unkempt. Unkempt greenery, last year's leaves not raked up, crumbling railings, wooden elements. The equipment was not only old, but also unkempt. Towels were not even part of the equipment, we had to pay extra for them. The bathroom in the form of an onsen was very old, variously repaired and glued tiles, joints,... here and there mold in the joints. We are not hypersensitive, but this was too much for us. We slept in strange sheets on even stranger mattresses. Really, everything was outdated, just poorly maintained. I understand that the equipment doesn't always have to be modern or new, but even older equipment can be maintained regularly to keep the accommodation clean and cozy. Luckily we survived the night, but in the morning we quickly packed up and left as soon as possible. The only small positive was the breakfast, which was pleasant, Japanese.
• Kumi (10/5): Lovely accommodation surrounded in nature with great people. Great for backpackers who want to immerse in Japanese cult - Extremely friendly and attentive staff, excellent home made food for great price, spacious private bedroom, homely atmosphere, laundry facilities and cheap bike rental. Affordable accommodation with old charm. Will go back again for a longer stay next time. Lovely hostel- if you are after luxury, it may not suit all tastes- go and stay in a hotel- but if you are after friendly staff and calm atmosphere it’s a perfect retreat. Nothing.
• Imke (1/5): Worst accomodation I had during my month long Japan trip - The girl behind the desk was so nice to help me get a taxi away from that place so I could reach another hotel I had to last minute book The room was not at all like the pictures, there was a hole in the floor in the middle of the room which was covered with carpet but you could still feel it. There was no ac on and all doors in the room (even a mysterious back door of which I still have no idea where it led to) were open so it was buzzing with a lot of musquitos. The room just overall looked very outdated and kind of like a haunted house, this made me (for the first time during my month in Japan) get the urge to do a bed bug search and I found some unsettling black things on the bed one of which was very clearly a dead bug. On top of all this there were no other people staying in the hostel next to me which made it even more creepy, so I booked the first hotel room I could find and was out of there within half an hour… Unfortunately they only refunded 50% of what I paid.
• Hiroko (4/5): Good to have a shelter overnight - Good view and quiet location Food provided was not necessarily good for us; too heavy and too salty.
• Darrell (7/5): Good -
• Eva (7/5): Okay for 1 night stay. - Kitchen space available. Big lounge space. English speaking staff Location wasn’t great, hill is a bit tough with luggage. Facilities are quite old and not the cleanest but matches the price, I suppose.
• Jimmy (7/5): Good - The rooms are big and comfortable, and the common room is an awesome spot to hang out. There’s a great view, and overall it’s a really comfortable place to stay. There’s a few things that are charged extra that we weren’t expecting, like use of the laundry machine and towels. There’s also only one western style shower, so there could sometimes be a line for people to wait. The WiFi was also hit and miss.
• Taryn (9/5): Superb - The hostel was very comfortable and cozy. The location was excellent, with a view of the bay and a short walk to the ferry terminal, grocery store, bus stop, and entrance to the sandbar. While the room was a little dusty, it was clean overall and the beds were comfortable. The facilities were good, and we especially enjoyed the bath. The hosts were very kind and helpful; we reached out about some dietary restrictions for dinner in advance, and they were able to accommodate them. One of the employees even called the bus station for us when we had lost one of our bags on a bus, and helped to arrange for us to get it back.
• Whitney (7/5): Good - A decent budget place to stay for the night. The bed was comfortable and the break room had a great view and a lot of books and games. The family rooms had nice patios that would’ve been lovely in warmer weather. If you’re only staying one night, which is all you should need in Amanohashidate, then this place is good enough for one night. The staff was friendly and helpful
• Jasmine (7/5): A cosy, scenic, getaway from the city. - This hostel made me feel like I was back at school camp. And I loved it. Needless to say, it was fun, cosy, and it had a retro feel that made it so interesting. The views from the place are out of this world! Namaishkii (I hope I spelled his name correctly) was so sweet, helpful, and tentative to the needs of those staying at the accomadation. The bedding is super warm, if you stay during the colder weather. I unfortunately have terrible hay fever, and got bad congestion due to some dust buildup underneath my roommate's bed. But no one is at fault, because this place is run by mainly one person throughout the day and night and they're on top of everything else!
• Joe (10/5): Exceptional - great view from hostel. lovely shared space. could have been a little cleaner. especially bathroom.
• Barbara (10/5): Exceptional - Nice quiet area next to a shrine and not far to walk over the Amanohashidate All good. Lovely youth hostel feeling.
• Isaac (10/5): When visiting Amanohashidate 100% would recommend - The communal area was so nice. Fusbal table, lots of books to read at your leisure, comfy couches and awesome views to top it off. Staff was also friendly and the location was very convenient for visiting the main attractions of the area. The accomodation was cheap so it's no surprise but the rooms were a little flimsy, but hey you get what you pay for. It was super comfortable regardless.
• エドワード (7/5): Good -
• Tjun (5/5): Passable -
• Sharon (7/5): Good -
• Charlotte (8/5): Very good -
• Ariel (1/5): My worst experience on the trip - My stay at the hotel was a very disappointing experience. From the moment I arrived, I was met with an unpleasant and unfriendly reception from the staff, who seemed disinterested and impatient. Instead of feeling welcomed, I felt like I was viewed solely as a source of income. The staff's attitude was cold and unaccommodating, and they completely ignored my request for an early check-in. Additionally, the hotel did not look anything like the photos online. The walls were peeling, and the overall condition of the place was neglected and run-down. If you’re looking for a place that values and respects its guests while providing a pleasant experience, I strongly recommend avoiding this hotel. Change to a nicer team, and put pictures that really reflect what the place looks like
• Parkpoom (10/5): Exceptional - Environment and location and price
• Judith (7/5): Good - Great staff. Very friendly and helpful. Lovely dinner but needs to be ordered in advance. Nice to have a public bath. Good views. It's a little tired and could do with some refurbishment, but great value and we enjoyed our stay there.
• Hoi (7/5): Good - Wonderful staff.
• Jarrod (8/5): If you are staying in Amanohashidate, this stay is very comfortable -
• Montree (10/5): Exceptional -
• Ines (9/5): Great! - Really welcoming, comfortable, clean hostel with an old fashioned charm. Breakfast and Dinner were delicious!
• Ghait (3/5): Disappointing experience regarding cleanliness and hygiene - to be honest: nothing The hostel was generally not well-maintained. The bathrooms were particularly unclean, with an unpleasant odor lingering throughout the space. A damp, musty smell seemed to permeate the entire building, and to make matters worse, I noticed traces of blood on the sheets.
• Elizabeth (7/5): Low price , just about OK to stay at- good location but very tired facilities and surroundings. - The hostel was adequate as a place to stay as a solo traveller but the building is tired and could do with an update. The location was good as it was elevated and had views over the bay (see pic). There was free coffee and tea in the communal room which was furnished with basic tables and chairs plus some old sofas and a TV. There was a collection of vinyl and a record player which would have been great to use if the TV had ever been turned off... The dorm slept 4, bunks with privacy curtains and tatami mat flooring - all fine. but the balcony was a bit grotty although OK for hanging clothes out to dry. I wish the little balcony area off the main room was cleaned up and made more pleasant - I don't find ashtrays full of cigarette butts appealing. I found the Japanese bath washing area acceptable, but you had to just keep going to see if it was free - no room for more than one person in the bath at a time. The outside of the YH could do with a good tidy up... it just feels tired and unloved. I'd stay again for the price and location as a place to lay my head, but it could be better I think - and I wouldn't want to stay with friends.
• Netta (8/5): Very good -
• Truong (9/5): Superb - the atmosphere of the hostel was great, cozy. The family room was spacious. The hostel has a common living room + dining room which is my favorite. The living room has a great vinyl collection, one piece manga collection, board games to play. The terrace, where you can sit and have a sip of coffee or tea, overlook the iconic scene . They offer rental bicycles which is a great option to roam around and explore the scenic Amanohashidate. The staff was helpfull I didn't expect the climb to the hostel a bit physical challenging. But It worth the climb anyway
• Mui (7/5): Good -
• Gang (8/5): Very good -
• Varvara (10/5): Exceptional - This is one of the best places I've ever stayed in. It felt like a lovely homestay. I booked one bed only but had a whole room to myself. It's lovely, quiet, comfortable, and surrounded by beautiful countryside. I would gladly spend the whole summer there, if I could.
• Ralph (9/5): Superb -
• Chatrattanawet (5/5): Passable -
• Artit (9/5): Best view, little bit difficult to find but great place. -
• Nicole (7/5): A nice and fun stay in Amanohashidate within a reasonable budget - The breakfast was splendid! The meal seemed gluten-free. We didn't specify that we were Celiac but being served a meal that wasn't fried nor contained soy sauce helped a lot! The common room next to the dining room was cozy, we spent most of our time there reading magazines. The staff were also helpful and friendly, a couple of them spoke English. Renting bikes was cheap, you just have to be aware of pushing them up on the steep hill where the hostel is located. The room we stayed in was dusty, we caught allergies from the dust at some point. The bath area needed some cleaning as the drains easily got clogged. The road towards the hostel had no streetlights so it felt unsafe walking at night.
• Noheila (1/5): Really dirty and disappointing - The hostel is near Amanohashidate cable car which is convenient. It's really dirty. We found a cockroach in our room! And we wanted to ask for help from the staff but they were not available! Also we actually couldn't ask for a dinner or breakfast although it was indicated that we could, so we went to the supermarket instead. To be honest I really don't recommend this place!
