Only two showers / toilets which you have to book in a time to use. Not a big issue if you plan ahead.

Good location between Okayama and a ferry to the art museum island of Naoshima. The hostel is a charming traditional Japanese house with tatami mats, sliding doors, low ceilings in some parts, and very steep polished wood stairs. Two lounges for relaxing, and a big kitchen / microwave for self catering. Friendly and helpful reception and staff. The owner runs a nearby bookshop and bar which is worth visiting.

The cabin in the dorms tend to get a bit hot at night, because of the thick curtains

the staff was really nice and the check-in place was this cute bar in Uno! I also enjoyed the house with a small little backyard

The toilet and bathroom are not enough, and I need to wait in the morning.

A little bit far away from the JR station but still in walking distance. The building is very nice in traditional style.

Check in after 9pm costs money. There is just one shower room and you need to schedule the day before your 20 minute shower visit

The house is very cozy and the rooms are clean. Staff is sweet.

Kept hitting my head on doorframes but honestly worth it for staying in such a cool building

Staff were the best, warm and friendly and willing to help travellers navigate around Uno

Its an old traditional house which means you have to watch your head if you are taller than 170 cm. Hit my head a lot of times on the door frames :(

Very nice and clean hostel and friendly staff!

Super cheap and convenient stay to visit the benesse art-islands. There‘s a well equipped shared kitchen, as well as a nice little library (with a few books in english).

There was only one shower, but saying that I had no problems using it when I wanted.

Location was greatC close to train station and the port! Easy to get to the boats to the islands! Hostel was clean and WiFi great. Staff very helpful and friendly!

Those are dormitories, so keep earplugs close by (if I remember, they can give you some if needed). But we had luck and were exhausted, so it was alright ! We had no particular issue.

The dormitories are clean, you can let your luggages there is no problem. It's nice to meet the personnel and the people staying there. They also have a café-library close in which you can find some good books, take a drink or eat vegetarian dishes. It's also close to the train station.

The sheets and pillow situation could be improved (although everything was clean).

The hostel was very clean and we felt super comfortable. It was very pretty inside and the sleeping capsules were relatively spacious. It is very close to the port but there is not much else to do in the area.

Nothing at all.

The style of the house, an honour and a real taste of Hapan. It felt really homely and relaxed and we coukd just get on and do our thing. It was exceptional value for money and perfectly situated for the ferry. Loads of nice eateries around too and the little town was a refreshing change from the busy cities. The staff were polite, friendly and kind.

Only 1 shower.

A very nice place with friendly, helpful staff, feels like a traditional ryokan. Nice crowd, who came to see art on the islands. Very clean, nice kitchen. Perfect location, close to the ferry.

However, there was only one showeroom , 1 toilet at each floor, and there was no locker to put your luggage.

As a capsule hostel, it was a good experience. The staff were friendly and helpful. The room was clean, but the pillow was too soft for me; The have a rule for everyone to fill in a timetable to take shower accordingly, which made things pretty organized. Additionally, they offer shampoo, conditioner and body wash in showroom. As for the location, it was about 10 mins walking from the pier and 7-11, not much shops around it.

There is one toilet and shower so the timing can be challenging.

It is in a convenient location close to the port to access Naoshima. It was easy to check-in. The capsule-style shared room with other women was lovely.

There is only one toilet and shower for everyone. Can get a bit annoying during busy times.

Close to the port and really nice host. Social and good common spaces.

A little awkward with only one shower, however they have a reservation system.

Nice authentic Japanese style Guesthouse with screen doors. Good location for visiting Naoshima. Beds were adequate.

Stayed in July 2024

Far from Okayama, limited trains to the city. Plan in advance.

Very convenient if you are traveling from/to Naoshima. Cheaper than the options in the island and the 20-minute ferry to get there is only 300 yen. The port is walking distance from the hostel. Very clean, towel provided, comfortable, excellent staff.

Dorm beds are pretty basic, not the most comfy.

Very easy to access islands nearby! Lovely common room area & kitchen. Staff very friendly!

The common area is a bit small and not very comfortable

Spacious rooms and kitchen, friendly staff

I had a room without windows which doesn’t matter if you are out all day. It’s close to station, bus stops and ferry ports. You can use the kitchen and sitting areas. It was great for meeting other travelers. Great base for visiting the islands Naoshima and Teshima (a recommendation from one of the hosts).
