Aso Base Backpackers

It was my first time staying in a dorm room and I'm glad I gave it a try here. The location was very good, water shower was strong, there's storage space for luggage under the bed, and the whole place was very cosy.

All the lights seem to be yellow lights which made reading a bit difficult. Have to keep pressing the shower button otherwise water will stop.

The owners are very helpful. The property is walkable distance from the station. A very scenic environment around the area. Very clean. Love the soft toys around the place, good ambiance.

The beds do not have privacy curtains.

Cozy hotel with a great and huge common room. Free Sake and cheap snacks to buy are available. Friendly staff. Eversthing was clean and quite comfortable. Great place to chill for several days!

Check in only until 8. Would be nice if self check in would be possible until 10.

Very clean overall and nice interior. Great kitchen and amenities. Good location with a nice Onsen nearby.

Not very welcoming hosts. They were super polite but continuously made us aware about the rules, which were plenty and some arguably unreasonable. After staying for 2 nights we had to leave the building right after check out while there was a blizzard outside. We were traveling on our bicycles and obviously had no other place to go. When we asked for an exception, we were allowed a maximum of 30 minutes extra. There was plenty of space in the common area but 'rules are the rules'. Don't stay here if you want a warm 'backpacker vibe' or need to kill some time after check out.
