Room: I booked for the mixed dormitory but was upgraded to a private room :))) comfy bed, very comfy pillow. hangers for clothes. Bathroom: nice strong shower, decent hair dryer, clean toilets, two sinks . Security: there wasn't a lock on my room but I feel comfortable that the hosts have enough oversight and that the place is secure enough. think it gets locked 10pm. Amenities: fully furnished kitchen. there is also a nice lounge area, and a cafe upstairs (although it was shut when I visited so I can't comment on what it has). Location: like a 10-15 minute cycle from omishima bike rental. restaurants and shops cyclable too, might be a faff if you're walking.. Other: very friendly welcome from the hosts.
It is located right in front of the Dogo Onsen Main Building.
It is a quiet, old building, but it is well-maintained.
I don't think there is a better place to stay in Matsuyama for a solo traveler. It is a dormitory, but I couldn't sleep well because there was someone who kept coughing. I think a private room might be better for those who are very sick.
This a very nice hostel to stay at while doing the Shimanami Kaido. It’s close by a famous temple and several restaurants. The staff is friendly, the facilities are very clean and they have free pour over coffee, which is amazing, frankly. I stayed longer because I wanted to spend more time on the island.
The place was very beautiful, in a real Japanese style, I slept on the tatami, everything was very clean and well organised. The owner was also very friendly and available
