Highly recommended
Comfortable and relaxed hostel. Originally only planned to stay for one night, but extended my stay to three nights and used the place as a base to explore the surrounding islands.
Having a convenience store (Family Mart) right opposite the hostel was also very …convenient!

The place was amazing. comfortable and conveniently located to the bicycle route. The roof was delicious and well presented. We enjoyed the ocean and sunset. Walkable from the hotel.

The hostel offers dinner which is good considering the lack of options nearby. Food is a little expensive but it came as a full course meal with a unique sakura dessert. Other guests were generally quiet but since the rooms/pods only have a curtain to close them you can hear noises clearly

Very clean and new. This time of year the cafe was closed and dinner had to be reserved. Warmer months would be better.
