The best host ever! We had such an amazing stay and it felt like home. Breakfast was awesome like everything else :-)

During my trip in Okinawa, this is the hostel I felt the most comfortable. Since it is pretty small, you get to know most people and the owner is super friendly. Amazing breakfast, free rental bike, so much included for the price!

Nothing to say.

The area is quiet and green, the staff was friendly and the owner was always helpful. Good place to stop and recover some energy! I will be back..

It was so comfortable, felt like home. It was warm, clean, cosy. Everyone was really nice and I loved being able to cook in a fully equipped kitchen. As a solo female traveller, I felt really safe. It was also a great location, when you use the free bikes, there is a lot to do around the place! I stayed for three nights and wish I could stay for a week or two honestly. Also, the free home cooked breakfast is a great testament to the love and care in this place.

There is a bus stop nearby, but there are few buses and the location is a bit far.

1. Quiet 2. Cheap price 3. The hotel owner English very well, and introduces nearby attractions enthusiastically. He also plays guitar at night, so cool. 4. I had to take the bus, boss was willing to get up early to make breakfast. The breakfast was very delicious, and there were even blueberries and strawberries. 5. Clean and comfortable. 6. Free washing and drying clothes. 7. Free use of bicycles.

What makes this place very special is the owner. But besides that the area is super awesome! And walkable. But bicycles are offered if you choose to ride. It is very clean and a very comfortable setting.

Great hostel! Owner was lovely, living area was cosy and sociable, and bed was comfy. Easy to use the hostel bikes and snorkel equipment to visit the beautiful beaches (beware the hill though).

Just take into account that the hostel is far away from public transportation. The bathrooms are dated.

I loved this hostel! The owner and volunteer were very friendly and welcome, making me feel at home. The hostel also has free bicycles and snorkels for use, free breakfast and free washing. The beds are also very soft and comfortable. The area around is also nice, and you can use bicycles to get to beaches, and the owner drove us places and picked us up.

Stay here if you want the experience of a lifetime. Ryota san is one of the kindest host I've ever get to meet. He let us borrow the bikes, helped me get to the bus station, and kindly informed us about restaurants and sightseeing spots. The breakast was phenomenal with restaurant quality pancakes and sandwiches. Ryota-san even turnen off the lights and lent us yoga mats and blankets to lie down on the veranda and gaze at the stars. The best part is probably the electrifying vibrant energy of the live music played by other guests. I got to know incredible individuals and made so many memories here. Please come visit and experience for yourself.

I had the best stay of my trip so far thanks to Ryota ✨️ Comfy beds, human size hostel, clean bathroom. The breakfast, cooked by Ryota and changing everyday, is sooo good. Bikes and snorkeling gear available for free, which is super nice. Cool rooftop for nights without rain or wind ;) Castle, museum and pottery village nearby ; restaurants and cafés too. If you like to cook, the kitchen is available and a supermarket is close. The transfer service to the different buses are perfect 👌🏼 And of course the music nights are the little plus that make a stay incredible ! We had a super nice karaoke night, with lovely guests.

Amazing host, as well as people coming over. Facilities were very clean, the bikes can be used for free, the breakfast was amazing every time. I had to go out quite eraly sometimes, so he prepared the take out version for me everytime... simply everything was amazing! I won't even search for other places the next time I go to Japan!😊

Staff are super welcoming and helpful. I got driven to the bus stop multiple times and Ryota even drove me to the pharmacy when I was unwell. The culture of this hostel is fantastic, most of the guests and staff want to chat and play music together. There’s a cool rooftop to hang out on and bbq area. I’ll definitely be back! If you are in the area, you should definitely stay here!

Ryota is an incredibly friendly person and offers so much help and advice to first-time visitors of Okinawa. The rooms were clean and quiet throughout the night, and breakfast was deliciously crafted by Ryota himself
