+ Almost the lowest price of accomodation you can find within the Kaike Onsen area + Room is spacious for the price (More like living in apartment consists of a living room and a bedroom) + Host is helpful and willing to fulfill additional requests + Well equipped and hygenic shared bathroom (with bathtub) + Well equipped shared kitchen and dining room + Aroma sprayer available inside the room is a plus
Note:
(1) Given the affordably low price I cannot write a major drawback for this accomodation, but bear in mind this is a guesthouse and not a hotel. Thus, there is no onsen facility provided here. Still, you can easily reach nearby hotels and have an onsen inside with little admission fee. The host will also give you a map of nearby onsen facilities. This place is more like a place for backpackers and tourists with knowledge knowing what to do inside the area. I have been Kaike Onsen for the fourth time and found here to be the perfect stay given I can still enjoy the same onsen quality for a much affordable price.
(2) As an etiquette, please inform the host if your check-in time is later than 8pm. Indeed, it is better to check-in before 8pm so the host does not have to wait for you (Although I have informed the host for late check-in I still find a little bit sorry for that). As buses are not frequent within the area, please check the bus timetable prior stay if you come by bus.
