    The staff was really great and the location perfect for the Nunobiki waterfalls and hiking further. The self-made Onigiri as part of your breakfast is definitely a highlight!

    It was clean and organised. The staff is really kind and I loved that I could practise my Japanese. Air conditioning is a bless. It's very close to Shin-Kobe station and in a residential area so there is no noise.

    Breakfast was an absolute win: the owners teach you how to prepare onigiri, you can choose from several fillings and there is also miso soup to eat. The common kitchen was well organised, so you could heat some meals or do them from scratch after...

    The place is cozy and clean. The hostel is located near Shin-Kobe Station with forest and gardens located nearby. I liked the workshop on onigirazu as a breakfast option.
