A great hostel that’s accessible to beautiful hikes around the area, and is a short walk from the bus station to get around to other hikes and trails. It’s very clean and the dorm rooms are cozy and private. The free onsens are clean and amazing after a long hike. It is a bit far from restaurants or supermarket but if you prepare for it ahead it’s not an issue, and the staff are helpful with that too.
