Kominka Sharehouse Hooju

The rooms are large and the bedding is comfortable. It's conveniently located close to a train station and bus stop, so it's easy to leave during the day to explore the Miyazaki area. If you like nature, this place has great atmosphere with shoji doors that open directly to the outside. The building has a lot of character and is great for if you're looking for an authentic, classic-feeling building to stay in. The place is also a campsite and its structure makes it like a cross between staying at an inn and camping. There is proper bedding, electricity, and air conditioning, so maybe a bit closer to a glamping site, but you are right next to nature. I consider this a positive more than a negative, but it's probably a good thing to note before booking. I was wondering how the shared toilet and bath would be, but it was generally nice. The shared toilet isn't limited to those staying inside the building, but includes anyone camping at the place, but there wasn't a lot of competition during my stay, and things were kept clean. The shared bath is a single bath for personal use and people staying on the property take turns using it. It has both a shower and a bath, but everyone pretty much just used the shower during my stay. There isn't a lock on the door, but it's clear when it's in use, so it isn't too awkward. A washing machine is also available for if you have laundry, so it's very convenient.
