cheap

very basic shared facilities

The location was great, the staff was also great. I forgot to mention to the staff that I was riding a motorcycle. When I arrived, they cleared a spot with an overhead covering. Never has this ever happened to me in Japan. Most often I just park in the regular parking lot, or stay will tell me there is no motorcycle parking. Thank you so much for this help.

The walls are thin, I could hear a lot of voices from the rooms nearby. The bathrooms were a little dusty, but this was probably because it was at the end of the day.

One of the bathrooms has a bathtub, We enjoyed the retro-public-bath style ofuro after long riding. It was really relaxing. The room is full of quaint atmosphere. We slept futon on the floor, which my boyfriend liked it a lot.

The location isn't amazing. It was hard to reach this hostel and there was pretty much nothing around. Due to Covid19, the restaurant in front of the hostel closed, we couldn't find anywhere for dinner. The receptionist didn't explain much. We found it unkind.

With the right people it could be fun to use the facilities like barbecue…

No value for the money! No hot water for the shower… The bath facilities are absolutely disgusting… Towels & toothbrush only upon request Communicating in English is a challenge… No recommendations for the area…

Everything fantastic. Wonderful staff.

Everything was the best.

Clean, affordable. The staffs were super nice and helpful!

Clean, convenient, nice owner and very welcoming. Large family room, easy check in.

The host was very friendly and helpful. Beds were made up and comfortable. You can order food to be delivered. Clean. Its close to the train station. Good value. You can use the kitchen.

There was some noise from other guests, sliding doors does not insulate it well. There was also a small gap in our doors so people could see in. Closing/locking the doors is a bit fiddly so made a noise. The bathrooms are shared. Quite isolated, only 1 bar/restaurant nearby and that had a private function, no shops nearby. 5pm check-in is very late.

This was my second stay at Shanshui House. I went to do some hiking in the area and wanted a place that was clean, quiet and reasonably price. I got it. The couple running the small Japanese style inn are really friendly and helpful. They introduced me to a good restaurant 10 minutes away and were nice enough to take me (and a friend staying at a different hotel) there by car. About 2 hours later, they then picked us up and even dropped off my friend. We hiked on a great trail near there today. I will try to again this year!

I wanted to stay another day but have to go to work.
