I will definitely be coming again.

The units come with air conditioning, a fridge, a microwave, a kettle, a shower, a hairdryer and a desk. The hostel offers certain units that feature a safety deposit box, and all rooms are equipped with a shared bathroom and a wardrobe. The rooms will provide guests with a minibar. Very friendly host with some broken English, but we could still understand each other thanks to body language and translating app ;-) The Japanese style room matched the pictures. The lounge as well as the kitchen have been lovingly furnished which I didn't use them much. Daily one free water bottle is a plus. You can even buy beer from the mini bar and there are some ramen to buy. The location is also great. Not in a crowded touristy area, but still you can access to major stations (Tsuruhashi, Namba) quickly from Imazato. Bear in mind to take the Kintetsu line to the Imazato train station, not metro. There are some 24h convenience stores in the area to grab some food/drink anytime, and also a bakery if you want to eat breakfast there. If you travel in the summer, consider to regularly turn on the air conditioner as sometimes the high room temperature can be unbearable.

Beds were so comfortable and they had all the amenities you might need while traveling even for a hostel. Would be more than happy to stay here again!

Located in Nagaoka, 15 km from Hikone Castle, Guesthouse Izame Ann provides accommodation with free bikes, free private parking, a shared lounge and a bar. The property is set 6.3 km from Green Park Santo, 7.3 km from Maibara Station and 18 km from Taga-taisha Shrine. Site Of Reversible Destiny Yoro Park is 33 km from the hostel and Yoro Land is 33 km away. Well worth the effort to travel to experience a lovely ryokan, it's host and the town. I paid for dinner and I'm SO glad I did. It was a highlight of my stay and in deed a highlight of my 5 week trip in Japan. You sit in a sunken seating area and watch the ryokan owner/cook prepare what felt like a large number of individual dishes. The food was absolutely delicious. I was concerned about hearing other guests because, being an older house, the walls are thin - but the night I was there all the guests were respectfully quiet. I had a view over the "river" which may be a mis-nomer - but it is a peaceful stream running through the pretty street. I highly recommend a visit.
