"Pros: Nice little guesthouse for few days, it is actually a 30min walk from train station if u dont have a car, if you are lucky there is sometime a bus going from the guesthouse to the train station, Google maps time was accurate. Good value for money, and good location if u want to explore a little bit Minamiaso Valley which is quite beautifull also (don't just do Aso it's overcrowded) i think they can help you for hiking place around or what to do in the Valley. Bunk beds are confortable and there is a kitchen and fridge to store food. Cons: It's unclear who is the staff to help / who is the family that lives here, we sometime had the impression to disturb them in the common area.. we felt a little bit watched at some point. The old men is entering the dorm to show people which bed they are, even if it's empty you can't chose your bed. Is also moving your stuff if it's not in a "correct place" ?! That's quite unusual .." ~Eloise
