Green Guesthouse

Amazing guesthouse! Very clean, no smells, no mold issues. Lots of communal spaces, cheap laundry on site with free laundry soap, amazing view, ideal location. What more can I say? Cheap bike rental, nice owner and lots of cleaning staff. Beer in vending machines if that's your thing. Only issue is that the shared spaces get a little shakey when people get up in the morning, but with such a good price, who can complain? Tv with movies, video games, lots of manga, travel books and brochuress and a built in thai restaurant. Highly reccomended! And the roof top patio with a view of sakurajima, even with covered spaces to enjoy it all even if its raining.

Good: First, the staff kindly welcomed me in and explained house rules to me. That was the only good part of this place. She allowed me to use the first floor from 11ish to 15pm until check in time. She was super nice 🤩 Bad: - The whole entire building smells bad - Also it seems like there are multiple old ladies and man moved in to this guesthouse. Once I walked in to the female dormitory room, there were pile of clothes hanging from their bed. And there was man watching baseball and News in the shared living room from the morning. I tried to say hi thinking they were travelers at first but they avoid eye contact and ran back to their bed. - apartment shook a whole entire time 😫 I felt unsafe through out my stay. Like someone else said, I felt like I was homeless. I would not recommend this place if you are looking for some fun and clean stay. I think it’s better to book hotels by paying little bit more 😭

It's quite okay but the rooms are stuffy, there are few shower rooms and toilets. The host doesn't privide towels and razors, the guest even have to buy a single bottle of drinking water...A plus point is the location, it's quite near the downtown and Kagoshima Aquarium

The male staff member wasn’t polite and despite living in Japan for 4 years this is the first time I felt someone was rude just because I was a foreigner. Also they used a poor analogy in their signage of saying that wearing sandals/even slippers inside was equivalent to getting raped. The only good thing was probably the location of being close to the port

I was really scared by my first interaction with the hostel owner. If my stay hadn't already been paid for, I would have left. I had just arrived in Japan and hadn't yet figured out where to take off my shoes. So I took off my street shoes when I entered and put on the slippers that were there. I didn't understand why he started yelling at me when I took two steps in them to put down my suitcase. He yelled for a long time, shook his head, waved his arms, and rolled on the floor. It turns out you were supposed to walk barefoot there. I apologized, said I wasn't sure where the flip-flops were and where they were without them, and that he should stop yelling. But he kept yelling. Then he demanded that I stop smiling. Later I heard similar stories from other guests. This was the only incident in the entire four weeks I spent in Japan. It's a pity, I really fell in love with the Japanese and their mentality.

Simple but comfortable place to stay. I often stay here when I take the ferry. The staff are friendly and the rooms are always clean.

Close to ferry for Sakurajima, everything was clean and in good condition. The long term residents in the dorm was a bit strange, but other than that very value for money. Only two showers and two toilets, so had to queue for bathrooms quite a lot.

It was too far away from Kagoshima-chuo Railway station to walk. Have to take the bus. First city in Japan that I could not use my SUICA card on the buses. Make sure you got small change. However, it's only about 10 minutes walk to the Tenmonkan Street, the shopping/eating area in Kagoshima.Nice kitchen if you want to do your own cooking. There is a vending machine on the 4th floor with beer and vodka on the rocks. Also, there are 2 laundry machines and dryers - one set on the third floor and the other on the rooftop. The rooftop had a gas dryer which is much better at drying clothes.

Such a nice and well-organized hostel, just 5min walking from Kagoshima port. Everything you need is there. Internet, computers, tv and dvd's, bookshelves full of Manga and so much more. There is a kitchen too that you can freely use. The whole place was super clean and pleasant. I could not be more satisfied. Oh, and on top of that, they had a rooftop terrace where you can see Sakurajima!
