Shibecha Hotel Guide - Tawadaira Observatory hotels in Shibecha, Japan.

"I stayed 2 nights and don't normally stay in hostels any more but there was very limited options in the area. There are lots of pluses- very clean, tidy, well organised, nice Japanese style futon room was comfortable, desk, hanging space, good wifi, good kitchen facilities, free laundry, 2 ladies showers for the hostel but I didn't have to wait at all. 2 toilets for hostel and didn't have to wait there either. However the downside is always the lack of consideration by other guests who talk loudly late at night or early, start a hair dryer at 1030pm upstairs( I asked her to stop which she did as there are dryers downstairs), someone washing in the upstairs sinks at 4am! People not shutting doors softly. The manager can't do anything about people.But change the rubbish bin near the sinks upstairs so it doesn't have a loud bang when used and remove hairdryers from upstairs. Also exhaust fans in the laundry room run all night which are noisy too. Having to pay 200Y for a towel is silly too given paid more here than many hotels in Japan. First night was very quiet, second noisy. "
