A great youth hostel, quiet and comfortable + a 5-min walk from the train station! We had a four-bed dorm: the room was spacious and the 4 beds comfortable and well separated. Everything was very clean and there is English-speaking staff. I would definitely come back!

The property is not only stunning and traditional, but is in a great location! The absolute highlight of Matsui Honkan though is the wonderful staff and hospitality.

Amazing experience. The room was huge and cosy. The onsen was fantastic. Everyone was extremely kind, they barely speak English but it was not a problem at all.

The staff were so friendly, warm and accommodating. We stayed in the Satsuki room so we had our own bathroom as well as private courtyard that was absolutely stunning to wake up to and really added to the overall experience. You can tell the owners and staff take a lot of pride in their business, as though the inn was old and some things weren't the most up to date, it was always very clean and fully stocked whenever we returned. The location is only a five minute walk to the train/bus station as well as a main road but somehow it still feels tranquil and quiet. Definitely one of the best parts of our stay!

The stay was sensational. With a fantastic and unique experience. I felt a bit of the Japanese culture on my own skin. The gastronomic experience with typical foods and iconic ways of serving them, in addition to the history of the family that owns the accommodation.

I loved every single detail at Sakanoue. The room, the bed, the amenities, the breakfast, the location—everything was truly wonderful. The staff were incredibly kind and attentive. I recommend this place without hesitation. A special thank you to Mr. Kodeja (apologies if I’m mispronouncing your name)—it was so thoughtful of you to communicate with us in our native language. Your kindness made our stay even more memorable.
