Hostels in Katsuno

Vibes of the accomodation were fantastic, fellow guests were very chatty and there was lots of games to play. We used the provided bicycles to ride to a restaurant one night, bikes are in great condition. Got a chance to meet the owner, he is very nice

The front porch that gives onto the lake is amazing. The staff is SUPER welcoming. They don't speak English, but they have lots of English instructions pre-prepared and are very willing to use translation aps to figure everything else out. This is a true simple Japanese inn experience with tatami mats, futon mattress for sleep, and shared bathrooms so don't go expecting western-style arrangements. But if you want to be able to walk out the door and take 10 steps to swim in a gorgeous lake and to eat your meals on the porch with that lake for accompaniment, you will love it. Definitely pre-order dinner. We did not and the hotel was super gracious about pulling some food together for us, but if we had pre-ordered we would have had much more options. The hotels is a 5-7 min walk from the train station.

Nice place with clean rooms and a common space. Downstairs there is a cafe. The owner is very friendly, helpful, and kind. It's a great deal for the price. See you again!

The location was excellent, but there were many issues. The amenities box was almost empty, the shower room didn't have tissues left, the shower itself was full of hairs, there was a lingering weird smell everywhere. We didn't get notified of how to check out, the check-in was very impersonal, only getting a message on booking. The security also left us worried, as one of our beds could not be closed on one side, leaving the sliding door open to anyone. Overall a bad experience.
