We had a great time at Salt's place with our little family. we had our own room upstairs with a tatami area, a little kitchen and a private bathroom. The... read more common areas are great to meet other guests or just relax. We didn't announce our check-in time, but since Salt lives just next door that wasn't a problem. She was so very friendly and welcoming, walking us to a local restaurant and even leaving a little gift for our son. The surroundings are just beautiful and calming. Definitely recommended.

Rei a été très arrangeante, nous avons pu déposer nos bagages avant 16h. Quand nous avons cherché des vélos elle nous a proposé 3 vélos gratuitement et les à fait regonfler (mais nous étions 5, nous avons loué au terminal de bus d'Hakata- rien à Kino Ura).
Le resto grill en face était incroyable.
Plage à 25 min à pieds
Par contre nous sommes venus en bus et à pieds avec nos valises. Difficile de trouver quel bus desservait salt house. Arrives de Fukuyama (45 min en bus) Les infos au terminal des bus d'Hakata station sont en japonais, env. 1 bus par heure et les traductions des recommendations de Rei via Airbnb ne sont pas compréhensibles par les chauffeurs de bus. Il faut prendre le bus n°2 direction Kino-Ura et demander Salt House. Retour via bateau ferry du port de Mopko (belle vue) pour Imabari. Merci Rei

  Great hostel as a base for cycling around the area. Very comfortable and peaceful. Great kitchen for preparing food and a couple restaurants nearby. Would visit again.
