Good place for stay overnight if riding Shimanami Kaido over two days. Don't miss the set menu dinners at their cafe. You get an appetizer (more like three), a salad, a soup, a main dish with rice and a dessert for under 2000 yen, and the meal was excellent.

Amazing hostel right by the biking route Shimanami Kaido. The “rooms” are very nice and spacious. Outdoor area is also very nice and relaxing.

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!

Convenience and comfortable
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.

All facilities were in top shape, very friendly staff and delicious dinner options.
All beds/rooms are arranged like “capsules” with lockable curtains providing a modicum privacy, but of course let every noise through. That goes for single beds, single bed rooms and twin rooms.
Regardless, would highly recommend for 1 night stays!
