Featuring 3-star accommodation, GUESTHOUSE UMENOYA is located in Wajima, 48 km from Notojima Glass Art Museum and 37 km from Twin Bridge Noto.


✓ Although the staffs don't speak English, they are very patient and use translation software to explain everything to me, making me feel right at home.
✗ The upper bunk beds are too close to the ceiling, which is not very accommodating for taller individuals and can result in bumping one's head.
✓ Umenoya Guesthouse is ideally situtated. Wajima is not a big city so you can visit entirely on foot from the hostel. The ramen shop associated to the hostel is very good and you'll have access to a coworking space (free) with tea/coffee (100yen) and books. In addition the host gave me one free entrance per day I stayed to the local onsen (at 5min walk distance). I stayed in a single room, it was comfy and perfect for a few days. Each room has a lock on its door so you don't have to worry about putting your stuff in a drawer with a lock. The shared equipement was very clean.
✓ The guesthouse itself is beautiful, modern and equipped with all the amenities that could possibly be needed.
✗ I had to wait for the check in, the owner doesn't provide any space for smoking and doesn't know where you can find one. Also there's a lot of "snack bars" in the surrounding area which doesn't really scream comfortable place to be.
✓ Super clean, great location in Wajima city, nice restaurant, and wonderful cowork space.
✗ Nothing. Everything was great.
✓ Great guesthouse in Wajima, it has everything you would need. Very clean, convenient, comfortable, staff is always nice and friendly, they also run a ramen shop next to the guesthouse. And there's a parking lot too.
✓ This is THE hostel. Best of the best. Facilities are super ultra clean and convenient. Lounge... wow. Just speechless.
✗ Zero. Never found better hostel in the world.
✓ Tasty ramen shop in the entrance, comfy shared space and free ticket to a nearby spa!
✓ A very nice place to stay. It's very nicely decorated Japanese style house, with a very beautiful inner garden. Rooms are private with locks. Bathroom and shower room are shared but very clean. The staff is very nice and helpful. It's also just a short 5min walk away from the morning market.
✗ Just my personal preference, but the bed was harder than I'd like.
