Great property which is very clean and has good facilities. One thing to note is that check in closes quite early and there is no elevator.

Great overall experience, would recommend for anyone staying in the area. Simple, clean, and comfortable Japanese style room. Accomodating for when I had to extend my stay one night from a cancelled ferry.

This minshuku was easy to find, close to bus service (airport, Ambo Port \ access to Kitasugi and small/quaint Kusugawa onsen. Amenities includes a nice kitchen with essentials including stove, microwave, utensils, pots and pans. Good location. Can be a bit noisy in early morning and then there is the public address system- ha! Played eidelweiss every morning.

Staff was very friendly and tried to be helpful but the language barrier was problematic until speaking with management. We missed our first night and initial conversations made it appear they no longer held our reservation for the 2nd night. Eventually we were told to check back 4 hours later but spent the day wondering if we had accommodations. In the end, all worked out. It was a great place and we'd all happily stay again in the future.
Bon rapport qualité prix, proche du port ainsi que de restaurant, commerce et magasin de location. Il est aussi possible de réserver des bento. Attention aux horaires de Check in qui peuvent être contraignante si on doit rendre la voiture de location avant mais rien de dramatique.
L’isolation sonore n’est pas incroyable (cloison) entre les chambres donc il faut faire attention à être prévenant en ne faisant pas trop de bruit pour les autres.
