We were delighted with Magome Chaya having expected a much more basic dormitory experience. The property is ideally situated about 1/2 way up Magome village. It was extremely clean and a mix of age group travellers all very considerate of each other. The pre-purchased dinner was an absolute must. Outstanding. We stayed two nights and assumed the same set menu the second night but it was different. The showers in the nin-dorm block are single-sex but open so potentially there could be more than one person at a time. But everyone seemed to prefer to shower alone so waited accordingly. No queues though. On the dormitory side, single shower cubicles. Bring your own toiletries as only shower soap, shampoo and conditioner provided.
The pillows are an acquired taste - small and hard like beanbags. Western pillow options might be good. We were 'upgraded' from the dorm to a private room on.our second night which was gratefully received. Earplugs an absolute must as there is a washing machine on continuous cycle throughout the night very obvious from Room 1. If taking luggage, ensure it has sturdy wheels. The pathway up from the bus is steep and heavily cobbled.

What a special town and memorable stay in this incredible guesthouse. We stayed in the hostel and it was the best hostel we have stayed at. We also organised the set dinner and wow what an experience. A must book to enjoy this incredible place in a very lovely authentic town.
Nothing.

It was well located in central Magome and had ample community spaces to chill before bed. Owner was very friendly. They had a lot of supplies and food available with an honesty box for payment.
The dinner felt really overpriced for what we got. It was over 3500 yen per person per day, which is more than I would have spent at an upscale restaurant, and way more than I'd be comfortable spending at a hostel. They were a bit deceptive in that the drinks cost extra; we assumed they'd be included in the price given that it was so much. The second day I didn't want to take the dinner, but there are no refunds. The beds are also extremely uncomfortable, I asked the owner if I could have an extra mattress and they obliged.
