The only hostel located in the vicinity of Aso station. Great as a base for exploring Aso area. Amenities are good (kitchen / hot shower / toilets / sockets&light for each bed but no curtains). The car park area is not well-paved (small rocks like in most Japanese temples) and the staircase is a bit steep.

This place is beautifully furnished and built. I wished I could have stayed longer. When I booked, I thought it was the typical dorm you'd find in Japan, but it was more like a chill ryokan

The room, shower room and toilet room are clean and comfortable, but the smell of the entrance room(where guests put their shoes) is horrible! I had to rush, holding my breath, when I passed through it.
