Hostel Yui-an 1 stars

Nagiso

Situated in Nagiso, 8.4 km from Kotoku-ji Temple, Hostel Yui-an features accommodation with a garden, free private parking, a shared lounge and a terrace. With free WiFi, this 1-star hostel has a restaurant and a bar. The accommodation offers a shared kitchen, free shuttle service and luggage storage for guests. The hostel is beautifully designed and in a gorgeous setting. It’s a great place to relax and cozy up with a good book. There were only two other people staying when we were there so it didn’t feel like a hostel. Definitely recommend getting the dinner - it was very good and there aren’t any other nearby options. Sake tasting was fun! Like all the places I’ve stayed at in Japan, it was extremely clean.
