Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.
The location is the best for me! Not too far from Kakunodate Station, near laundry coin, near supermarket and around 10 minutes walk to samurai houses. It's clean and comfy. When I was there, no one beside me is using the bunk bed because Sakura season has passed so the tourist rush was no more. Still, it's a beautiful place and I'd like to come again! The host were responsive, helpful and nice. Thank you!
Room was modern, large and well appointed. Great location next to the train station with free parking at the rear of the hotel. Good breakfast mainly Japanese. The restaurant is open for dinner and serves a good standard of meal at a reasonable price. The hotel is within easy walking distance to the main tourist sites.
I actually was the only guest at the hostel when I went. I guess Kakunodate is not a popular city for foreigners, but I personally liked that. The staff was also super nice and they speak English.
The food was good, both breakfast and dinner. Also relatively cheap. The location was fantastic! The room was much bigger than anticipated, beds were really comfortable, and the bathroom was great.
Best pillow among the hostels I've stay at so far! But more importantly the owners are very kind and generous and their lovely daughter likes to be social :) Shame not to spend more time in the area. Great to have a bar to hang your clothes/coat up!
great location - helpful staff who organised theatre tickets for us and lent us a kettle when we requested one.
very beautiful room - comfy futons and quilts
lovely onsen and sauna
The guesthouse feels like a homestay. It's Japanese style with a spacious tatami living room, but with beds in the dormitory, very comfortable sleeping quarters. The toilet is in the garage just next to bedrooms, but there's no sink downstairs. You brush your teeth in the kitchen. There's a small oven and microwave, and tea bags. It's convenient to the Samurai street, and the onsen (700 ¥) is just 5 minutes away.
It's a small hostel - bedroom is in a separate building, where also a bathroom is. Room is spacious and there are 8 beds there. Just next to it, there's a kitchen and small common room. One can put valuables in a locker and staff provides a padlock.
There's a big supermarket nearby, great for buying some food.
