Amanohashidate Youth Hostel

We got a whole room to ourselves, there were 3 of us.

The bathroom had one shower but it opened into the common area, there was no space to keep one's clothes while showering

スタッフの対応が良い

施設が経年劣化している・・・

とにかく低料金しかも、共有スペースでの種類は少ないがドリンク🧋が無料！ ロケーションがグッド👍️

昭和の香りがするユースホステル

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Everything about the building seems very old and outdated.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.
