Staff was very friendly and tried to be helpful but the language barrier was problematic until speaking with management. We missed our first night and initial conversations made it appear they no longer held our reservation for the 2nd night. Eventually we were told to check back 4 hours later but spent the day wondering if we had accommodations. In the end, all worked out. It was a great place and we'd all happily stay again in the future.

This minshuku was easy to find, close to bus service (airport, Ambo Port \ access to Kitasugi and small/quaint Kusugawa onsen. Amenities includes a nice kitchen with essentials including stove, microwave, utensils, pots and pans. Good location. Can be a bit noisy in early morning and then there is the public address system- ha! Played eidelweiss every morning.

The new building is exceptionally clean with new facilities. Only advice is to bring earplugs as walls are thin.

Great value and foreigner friendly
A typical Minshuku: sleeping on futon on a tatami floor, and using shared toilets and bathroom. But the difference is that they have gone to a lot of effort to make it easy for English speakers to understand how everything works, and there is a basic kitchen in the room, which is unusual and welcome. There is a common use Fridge, Microwave oven and kettle. It's a bit old inside, but totally clean. Access is by some very thin stairs which could be difficult if you are carrying a heavy suitcase (but is fine with a rucksack). It's about 10 minutes walk away from Miyanoura port where the ferries and some of the jetfoils arrive. Wifi is a bit slow, but it works good enough as long as you are not hoping to do streaming (I suspect that is more about it's location on an island more that thefault of the hotel itself). Check in is in the fishing shop on the first floor, so you need to do it when the shop is open. The staff there are very friendly, and able to communicate in basic English. Overall, it's great value for the area.
