There isn’t anything I really didn’t like. I would just want to pre-warn any visitors, arriving by train that you need to be in the first compartment of the train in order to get out at the JR station. This is something I didn’t know, and therefore had to continue until the next station - but kindly enough the host picked me up there and rescued me.

It is really in a very unique location and the owner/host is extremely helpful and warm hearted.

It is a very quiet and beautiful place, suitable for travelers who like scenery.It has an unbeatable sea view and friendly people. This will definitely be a place full of beautiful memories for me. I highly recommend it.

The Japanese-style breakfast was 800 yen per person and we were expecting maybe a little bit more food or some coffee considering this hostel is also a cafe. We also didn't ask, so maybe we would have gotten some. Either way, the 7-Eleven is a short drive away and we got some more food there. The private rooms upstairs share a hallway toilet, with the sinks being downstairs (the toilet does have a little sink attached but like the real sinks for teeth brushing are downstairs). We also booked the triple room with the garden view and dining area, and I was pretty confused upon seeing the room because I felt like the view was of the street/parking lot, the "dining area" was a small table, and the room was quite small for a triple room. We peaked at the room across the hallway after the people had checked out, and that room with the ocean view is WAY better than the one we stayed in. I think having more photos of that room on the listing would have managed my expectations.

The owner is extremely nice and communicative. We had kind of a strange schedule, and she was very accommodating when it came to our check-in time. She also gave us some amazing recommendations for things to do around the local area that we wouldn't have done otherwise. This location is on a very quiet street and a few minutes walk away from the cute train station. Parking is free. We're glad all the hotels in Nagasaki were so expensive/booked up because it led us to stay in this absolutely beautiful area.

You may hard to find choices of eateries since it a bit distant from town, but for easy going person this won’t be a problem.

Nice & compact room in a japanese house, hidden near train station of Chiwata.

We stay here for 4 nights. The host is sooooo nice. She tried to help us with everything. The room is clean and cozy. Will definitely stay here again.

The room is very close to the train tracks, so there could be a noise issue

Great host - kind, helpful, and speaks English. Right by the train station and a nice izakaya bar. Great facilities, and the dorm room was comfy with a nice view.

This hostel is such a hidden gem. The amazing hosts went above and beyond to help us settle in, they recommended us the restaurant in front of the station and we had some of the best seafood we've ever tasted. They were also super sweet to our 2 year-old son, and their kindness made him so happy. The hostel itself was very comfortable and conveniently located next to the beautiful Chiwata Station. We had a lovely breakfast before we left and wished we could have stayed for longer. I'd recommend a tour of the area just to be able to stay at this lovely hostel.

Nothing, we enjoyed it very much!

This was supposed to be only a stop-over on our way to Nagasaki but ended up being one of the most memorable experiences of our Japan trip! The location of the hostel is next to the train station right next to the sea. Our hostess was very nice and welcoming. Rooms are simple but nice, the showers and bathrooms are on the first floor (communal). We didn't find any restaurant to have dinner, so our hostess invited us to this "little party" in the town, where a lot of local people gathered, ate curry and made music - we had a lot of fun!

Need to pay extra 200 yen for each towel, as the room rate is not cheap why they doesn’t include this small charges. Pillow was very very small, didn’t sleep well

Near train station

There was no shared kitchen for simple boiling of water.

It is basically next to the beautiful train station
