Kappa Backpackers Reviews
Reviewer Type: Solo Traveller
Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: Tucked back from the street and surrounded by a bamboo forest, this guesthouse feels magical. The house is well-designed, cosy and is extremely clean. The owner is so lovely, is full of knowledge about the area and is an excellent host. The guesthouse is in the middle of a small town and the locals are some of the most friendly people I have come across in my travels. I would love to come back here
Summary: A magical guest house in a pictoresque town!

Positive: I had quite an adventure getting to the guest house*, but when I did I received the warmest welcome! The bunk beds are excellent, roomy with plenty of space for your stuff, sockets to charge up, lighting, comfy and with a curtain for privacy. I had a really cosy sleep, probably one of the best bunk beds I've ever had in Japan.
*Missed my stop on the train, and it was the last train! I contacted the owner to let him know, and while I managed to sort it out myself, he actually contacted a nearby friend to come and pick me up form the station I ended up at!
Negative: To access the guesthouse, you have to go up a fairly steep, narrow slope, including concrete steps and also just a dirt path. It's really difficult if you have heavy luggage with wheels! Much better if you have a backpack! the track also gets very muddy / puddles in the rain.
Summary: A really warm welcome, and a cosy stay. one of the highlights of my whole trip.
