Guest rooms in the hostel are equipped with a kettle. Featuring a shared bathroom with a shower and free toiletries, rooms at naka-yasumiゲストハウスなかやすみ also provide guests with free WiFi, while certain rooms here will provide you with a terrace. The units will provide guests with a fridge. Very friendly and helpful owner. The guesthouse is really clean, safe, quiet, in a great location. Toilet and shower room are separated. There is a laundry machine on 1st floor. Towels are provided. Room is very well ventilated and doesn’t feel stuffy. In female dorm I find the table/chairs are quite handy - great for reading/working a bit. A functional kitchen on 3rd floor - had my breakfast there. The shokudo restaurant across street offers hearty meals. Owner recommended it to me and I truly enjoyed it. Would stay here again - 10/10

At the hostel, the rooms have a terrace. The shared bathroom is fitted with a bidet, a hairdryer and slippers. All rooms will provide guests with a fridge. It was the best capsule hostel I stayed at until now. Very spacious and comfortable bed, there is a small area where you can leave your bag next to the mattress, but you also have a little bit of space on the other side too. The best thing was the small fan in the bedroom. Loved it. Also, the door is an actual door you can lock and not only a curtain.

Situated in Murayama, Yamagata region, Yamagata Guesthouse山形ゲストハウス is set 500 metres from Murayama Station. The accommodation features a shared kitchen and free WiFi throughout the property.

At the hostel the rooms include a shared bathroom. Lovely owners and staff, super helpful too. The guesthouse has a great atmosphere, a separate women’s dorm is available, the concept of being in a community space of an old school building is really cool. There is also a pizza place that makes rather phenomenal pizza for the middle of nowhere, Japan. 😌

Located 11 km from Aquamarine Fukushima, Guesthouse & Kitchen Hace offers 2-star accommodation in Iwaki and features a shared lounge, a restaurant and a bar. Among the facilities at this property are a shared kitchen and luggage storage space, along with free WiFi throughout the property. The hostel has family rooms. Breakfast was individually organised and wrapped that made the whole experience a lot more unique. The whole building was an ex taxi noffice in traditional style. Had a cute little table for eating food. Don't expect spacious facilities, but if you are after traditional Japanese experience with home atmosphere, this Guesthouse is for you.
