The location of the hostel is great, within walking distance of most of the sights in Omi Hachiman but it is not close to the train station (we took a taxi from the station). The host is very friendly and helpful! Despite there not being stairs, the host helped us with our bags to the hostel. There is a washing machine and dryer with laundry power and detergent provided, which was free to use, very helpful! The toilets/showers were shared but were very clean and never busy enough that I had to wait around. There is however, some noise from being beside the road but free ear plugs were provided.
