Minshuku Iwakawa

Its ok.

Clean, friendly staff and lots of restaurants nearby!

Great overall experience, would recommend for anyone staying in the area. Simple, clean, and comfortable Japanese style room. Accomodating for when I had to extend my stay one night from a cancelled ferry.

Great property which is very clean and has good facilities. One thing to note is that check in closes quite early and there is no elevator.

Staff was very friendly and tried to be helpful but the language barrier was problematic until speaking with management. We missed our first night and initial conversations made it appear they no longer held our reservation for the 2nd night. Eventually we were told to check back 4 hours later but spent the day wondering if we had accommodations. In the end, all worked out. It was a great place and we'd all happily stay again in the future.

This minshuku was easy to find, close to bus service (airport, Ambo Port \ access to Kitasugi and small/quaint Kusugawa onsen. Amenities includes a nice kitchen with essentials including stove, microwave, utensils, pots and pans. Good location. Can be a bit noisy in early morning and then there is the public address system- ha! Played eidelweiss every morning.

Everything as advertised (barebones but cheap and convenient) EXCEPT the wi-fi that was barely working (impossible to watch a video or skype)

The new building is exceptionally clean with new facilities. Only advice is to bring earplugs as walls are thin.

We stayed at the new building. Excellent shower and toilet facilities. There is a fully equip kitchen.

good location. it was possible to walk from port to accommodation. and bus stop was very close to there. supermarket can be reached less than 10mins by walk. Room was comfortable and clean. they serves towel, shampoo and conditioner for free. room was traditional Japanese style, so very poor to noise.

Other people make this property noisy. I guess ok if you don’t want to sleep before 11 pm and wake at 5am.

A typical Minshuku: sleeping on futon on a tatami floor, and using shared toilets and bathroom. But the difference is that they have gone to a lot of effort to make it easy for English speakers to understand how everything works, and there is a basic kitchen in the room, which is unusual and welcome. There is a common use Fridge, Microwave oven and kettle. It's a bit old inside, but totally clean. Access is by some very thin stairs which could be difficult if you are carrying a heavy suitcase (but is fine with a rucksack). It's about 10 minutes walk away from Miyanoura port where the ferries and some of the jetfoils arrive. Wifi is a bit slow, but it works good enough as long as you are not hoping to do streaming (I suspect that is more about it's location on an island more that thefault of the hotel itself). Check in is in the fishing shop on the first floor, so you need to do it when the shop is open. The staff there are very friendly, and able to communicate in basic English. Overall, it's great value for the area.

The people here are very helpful but the facilities are pretty poor. Bathrooms are old and industrial. The kitchen is shared with the reaidents and has dirty dishes permanently in the sink. Theee is no communal area.

Firstly upon arrival we missed the sign outside the shop downstairs that the reception and check in to the hostel was actually in the shop. So we wondered a while upstairs with no luck. Finally we found the keeper who spoke only few words of English, who checked us in and gave us a tour. He was a very nice older man. The room itself was of a good size but the futon was quite thin, a bit too thin for our liking. So our backs were aching a bit after the nights. The shower room was very old and had a dirty dated look, but worked fine. The hostel was very well located tho, a walking distance from the port and around it there was nice restaurants and the bigger super market. Also the bus stop was just outside the hostel.

We stayed at Shin-kan (new building) , so everything was clean and new. Very close to a bus stop, some good restaurants. The owner was very nice friendl, and helpful.

The staff was extremely accommodating and the location was near the bus route and the port. Great place to stay, I definitely recommend.

Comfortable and clean! Great value with a very helpful host.

タオル類の毎日交換、洗濯機の無料利用、自炊道具の充実等、コストを抑えたい旅行者には嬉しいサービスだった。空港バスのバス停やレンタルバイクが近かった事も助かった。

部屋が新しく清掃もしっかりしていて、とても綺麗でした。 洗濯機もあり乾燥機（100円）で使用可能です。 バス停も近いし、海もすぐです。 シャワーだけなので、お風呂あれば完璧でした。 夜は真っ暗

整體算不錯。 最好就是洗衣機及乾衣機提供，當下雨天時特別有需要。
