Beautiful location in temple complex, convenient for old part of town and nearby FamilyMart. Host prepared Japanese bath each evening. Cooking facilities are minimal (microwave and hot water).

This hostel is in an amazing location....it isn’t far to walk uphill from the station to the temple complex but there is a bus from bus stop 1 in the bus station which does a circular ride around the town and stops nearby. There is a lot to see in takeyama and the museum in the centre is a gem....also do crafts across from the museum ....origami, braiding etc ....lovely old houses still very much part of the towns life and lovely cafes and eateries. Very relaxed place...a must to stay there....monks provide bedding...v traditional tatami mats.....was a little cold when we were there....we were provided with a heater which made it cosy....big bathhouse in the grounds....
