Yes, yes and thrice yes

Kevin is a friendly host and his suggestion of Sushi restaurant(富寿し) is really tasty. The house is within the walking distance of the Hakusan station , about 5 minutes .

The house is really nice and beautiful japanese style. Location is great, with just a few minutes to the beach and one station to city center. Kevin is super nice and relaxed. He gave me a lot of tips and I was able to use his bike. I can really recommend to stay there. Overall my stay in Niigata was awesome!

Kevin was a great host, clear and fast communication and the old school Japanese house was a cool experience to have.

The host canceled this reservation 45 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

Very comfortable stay, short walk into the city and great host. Thank you.

Kevin was a very nice host. He was very attentive and helpful throughout our stay. The room was very big and we had free use of the kitchen. Thank you very much Kevin!

Nice hosting! Recommend

Very clean room. Host and his family is very kind.

Stayed there for one night and it was really nice. The apartment was really clean and comfortable. I love it. Thanks a lot Mr. 利明

The host was extremely friendly and picked me up from the station. The house is cozy, has everything you need and is located in a very quiet place

We truly enjoyed our stay! He picked us up from the train station and drove us back to his house. He showed us around the house and we were also able to use the wifi. He also let us do laundry! His family is also great!

My stay here was very short but the host family were extremely kind and warm. The place was very clean and extremely affordable. A very good spot.

I was so happy that i could stayed here in 3days.You can call hosts when you arrive at Kameda station.I will come here again but not sunmer…it's so hot…

家全体がとても清潔でゆとりがあり、実家に帰ってきた感じで過ごせました。ホストの家が隣なので、もし、何かあればすぐに対応していただけるのも安心です!そして、とても静かな住宅街にあり、心穏やかに休むことができました。新潟駅から2駅なので、またぜひ利用させていただきますね!!!

The stay was really nice. The athmosphere is really great with als those book. It is pretty new, well designed and super clean. Plan in some time just for searching the books! If I am in Niigata again, I want to stay there again.

Had such a great time in Niigata I decided to go back a second time and of course I stayed at the Book Inn both times. Lovely place with lovelier staff, very close to the station as well. Recommended!

Aoi and Greg are some of the loveliest people i have met during my time abroad. Book Inn, is such a comfortable and cosy environment with very new and clean facilities. Very convenient to get to via Niigata station (perfect if you have JR). Niigata is Japan's best kept secret city for tourism, some of the best sake and sashimi ive ever had came from here. Aoi and Greg gave me brilliant suggestions of things to see and places to go during my stay in Niigata. Dont forget to go to Sakura bar and the brilliant sake tour at Imayo Tsukasa sake brewery! So amazing. Thank you so much! Cant recommend enough!

Great spot close to the station. It makes an excellent Base to discover Niigata city. I highly recommend it. I will definitely stay here once more when I come back to Niigata city.

I can calm down in a very nice space. People with large bodies or those who are not good at closing points may feel inconvenient because they sleep in a space like a closet, but otherwise it is a very nice place!

It's a co-ed hostel.

Two minutes away from Niigata station, with cool and friendly staff, a very interesting concept and comfortable beds and shower. I know where I'm going next time I'm in Niigata.

It was a new very beautiful.

It is immediately from the thousand side entrance of the station. Very convenient location.

I was travelling solo and looking for something more than just a stay over near the Niigata station. Then Book Inn took me in. So kindly. Really love all the people I met during my stay, especially the very hospitable hosts. Staying at this shared place feels more like living. We shared not only the space, also the great time chatting and hanging together. In the hostel and the local Izakaya. Beautiful experience! Thank you Aoi and Greg, for making this local community in Niigata so kind and special to the travellers. I'd definitely love to come back again :)

It's an interesting experience. Fantastic!

My stay in Book Inn was quite extraordinary. Just like pics show, The design of Book Inn is really creative, and it does provide a private and personal space for each other. I really enjoyed hanging out with new friends and drink a little bit beer in lobby chatting or reading books. This experience reminded me of my collage life. Advantages: 1. Walk distance to Niigata Station(新潟駅). 2. Many sake houses, restaurants, and convenience stores around. 3. Clean, and well-equipped. 4. Tons of books there. Tips: 1. This hotel is pretty much like a capsule hotel. It might not guaranteed you one hundred percent quiet or private, but Book Inn provides you a set of earplugs, it might help. 2. This hotel doesn't provide you complimentary shampoo, body wash, toothbrush and toothpaste. You might bring your own, or buy them at front desk.

It's a nice little, clean place. Location is great (2 min walk from Niigata Station) and it's cool to be surrounded by books. I went during a weekday and there was almost no one else there, so it was very quiet. Can get a bit warm sleeping in the bookshelf, but if you keep the curtain open you can get the AC from the main room to come in. Shower supplies are not provided, so you can "rent" them from the front or buy them yourself. There wasn't a lot of space to socialize (the "kitchen" microwave area is right next to people's beds, so not ideal), though it's hard to comment on the social atmosphere since I didn't run into any of the other guests.

Imagine a capsule hotel made out if wood with books scattered everywhere. The place has a very new age feel to it and has all of the basic amenities you might wish for. The room might get a bit warm since there is no fan but even in summer I was not overly hot

BOOK INN is a great place to stay if you are looking for a low-budget, convenient yet special staying experience in Japan! The location is clean, convenient (literally a couple of minutes walk from the Niigata station), safe (you don't have to worry about your luggage being stolen 24/7, unlike other hostels), and a lot more comfortable than I thought. I also had great conversations with Aoi and Yoshi who are running this place and they are full of good information and advice on where to visit around the area. I'd definitely stay there again!

Very clean and nice. The place had alot of privacy but was social as well. Everything was beautifully designed and well thought out. The social areas were beautiful and location was great.

Yuu's place was quite nice! It is clean, cosy and really close to the downtown and to convenience stores. Unfortunately I could not stay for longer time at his place. Towels and toothbrush were also provided. I could not find the place because when I checked in street view before getting there, the image provided was from a nearby building. Then, I asked a friend to talk to Yuu by phone and he was quite helpful and attentive (he was quite nice before in his messages as well).

yuu is a very nice person. he picked me up at the airport to our home. the home is really sweet. just like the description! hoping trip to nigata again!

Close to the city center, just in front of the Shinano River, Shinano River is very beautiful. And immediately answer I contact to Mr. Yuu. It is the best for the home.

Telephone correspondence was able to stay without any early problems. I was not troubled in Toko to eat because it was within walking distance to the Niigata Station. Location and the room it was good.

This Japanese House is very clean and comfortable. Great location, very quiet at night. I love the tatami bedroom. Yuu is very friendly. ^^

Yuu's place is clean and simple in a very good location to enjoy Niigata. The kitchen did not have the basic supplies, but at least there was a refrigerator and microwave as listed. It was not a place to do cooking or preparing food. There are many wonderful and reasonable restaurants in the area.

The place was very clean and comfortable, with lots of amenities. Yuu was easy to reach and responsive to my questions. I highly recommend staying at his place.

The second time is available. This time we were able to spend comfortably. Location is also very good, it is possible to stroll the Furumachi, also when you go to Niigata would like to use. Nice to meet you.

Tomo san is a very nice man. When he knew that i carried a heavy luggage, He drove car to take me from the station. And he sent some useful information when i need help

I really enjoyed my stay in Niigata thanks to this room. The place was well-stocked and just as advertised. It's a bit far from Niigata Station, but the walk was no problem with my hand luggage. Staying here gave me the chance to see a nice neighborhood that I might have missed otherwise. I'd love to come back!

Tomo was very good about providing instructions and responsive to requests. The location is fairly close to some interesting areas of the city, and a convenience store and supermarket are nearby. The two main rooms are spacious and clean, but the kitchen and bathroom facilities are rather basic. Overall our family of two adults and two teenagers had a good stay and were quite happy with the apartment for our 4 night stay.

Small but practical

Lodging is located in a quiet and beautiful town. It is also easy to find also close from the station. Is also a convenient key finds have been stored in the key box. Also to take a walk early in the morning along the river is a very good location. The room was about to be easy to spend widely. It was a far distance to the rich library, but it was convenient journey Tomo san guided me.

Very nice house, the kitchen can be used to provide all kitchen utensils and sauces, great landlord, reply quickly, landlord English very well, the only thing is lack of health need to improve some of the best air conditioning if there are two and room and shut the door and the ocean room if room can not be blowing the air conditioning (after all, Niigata winter or cold ah

A really nice economic place.

The house is Japanese style house. Really clean and interesting. But the location is a little bit far from the Niigata station. Good experience!

Central location extremely difficult to locate stairs are killer long and steep. Taxi Driver had problems, my Wife who is Japanese had problems day would be easier if your arriving with more than one suitcase raining and dark very frustrating especially when you put in a couple of calls to owner and no response and a text . Not good

This place is amazing. Plenty of space, a nice and big bed and in an amazing location. Great communication with Kiyo and an amazing location in a beautiful city. Book it and enjoy

Verry easy check-in. Kiyo gave us good information. The room was nice and verry clean. We enjoyed our first night in japan here was a verry good experience. Thanks to Kiyo!

Location is easy to find. Very quiet, nice neighborhood, and close to the Niigata JR station. Kiyo is an excellent host.

We really enjoyed visiting Niigata. Kiyo's place is very comfortable and close to shops and transport. Wi-fi was very good.

It was in response willing to steep accommodation. A cheaper than the business hotel market in the vicinity of Niigata Station, such as wifi and wide beds, and I think that it is very value around because he was in town. In addition we will use.

This place is great. Host is friendly, the room is very walkable from the station, and although it looks slightly sketchy from the outside, the room is very spacious and lovely. Went with a group of three and he provided enough bedspace and futons for about 5 people lol

So is clean and comfortable was good! In addition, we want to use! !

Masaki's apartment is conveniently located and can be accessed by a 10 minutes walk from Niigata station. Checking in was absolutely problem-free thanks to Masaki's detailed instructions. The room is very bright and nicely decorated which makes you feel like home from the first moment. It's also very clean and comes equipped with some daily necessities like shampoo and towels. Communication with Masaki was not only fast and reliable but also really helpful (e.g. if you need help to find a restaurant nearby) and enjoyable. I can really recommend this Airbnb!

I stayed two days at Masaki's place near JR Niigata station. It is indeed a brief 10 minute walk and close to a variety of restaurants surrounding the station. Masaki was extremely communicative and very helpful during my stay, and even offered to give me a lift to a remote place I was visiting in Niigata. This being my 7tj time in Japan and having used airbnb throughout, I can confidently recommend Masaki's place as what a great airbnb should be : clean, convenient, with an excellent host.

I felt it was a very kind person, repeatedly sent emails that feel feelings! Also, please let me use whenever you visit Niigata.

Masaki provides my family not only a warming place but also fully tour suggestion in Niigata; she's definitely a good choice for you too.

It's near station , but is also a very quiet place. The room has every facility we need and is very comfortable. Besides, the host is really nice and considerate and has provided a lot of help. It's a place we will come again!

Masaki was really great with communication, provided all the necessary information and always responded fast to any questions or suggestion requests. The place is located close to Niigata station so getting around is very easy but it also gives you the feeling of living like a local, as well you have a lot of privacy. The room was extremely well equipped and she provided all the necessary amenities (toothbrush, phone charger etc.) in case you forgot. The air conditioner was really nice for the hot summer days. The room was extremely clean, neat and well organized. The decor was also very warm and felt like a home. I would definitely come back to her place in the future! thanks again.

The room is very clean and cozy, and the landlord is very nice.

The host is also very kind within walking distance from Niigata station. There are a lot of one way traffic on the surrounding streets and it is difficult to drive somewhat, so you should come and park the car nearby.

Take is a great host who cares for his guests and tried his best to ensure guests has their best stay in Niigata. The place is relatively close to Hakusan station where you could travel to Niigata station.

Situated in a quiet residential area, I was able to slowly.

September 15 to 17 days two nights and three days in 2016, I was allowed to stay in 4 people. A lot of questions and requests from the previous stay had been an inquiry, but each time I was quickly and flexibly to support us. Even during the stay will be a delicate your concern, travel companions Everyone, I was able to comfortably spend. Accommodation is a little away from the station, it is a 10-minute strength by bus or taxi (but more road congestion ...). In addition, when the go to Niigata I want I will stay! ! !

In a quiet residential area, it is a nice home that calm down slowly. The landlord is, until the arrival, is kind person who can finely contact us. There are also hospitality, such as instant noodles and coffee, we very happy. We recommend proudly. Although not related to landlord-like, Niigata, because still have snow on the mountain, we continue to measure cold Machaut!

It was exactly, "travel like a human" experience to have spent at Takeshi's place. We were impressed by heart warming welcome by Takeshi. It is highly recommended to spend the place for those who want to visit Niigata. The location is perfect both for traveling and for business, and also the accommodation is suite for family traveling. 友人家族と一晩、とてもとても快適にすごせました。民家滞在なので「暮らすように旅をしている」気分になれます。駅からのアクセスもよく、駐車場もあるので、家族ぐるみで新潟市内に滞在したいという方には絶好だと思います。海が近いので、家族で海に行き、そのままゆっくりと過ごす場所としても最適です。何より、ホストのTakeshiさんが非常に親切で、親身になって対応してくれるのが嬉しいです。新潟市に行く方にはオススメです!

Takeshi met us at the bus stop and drove us to the house, even though it was just a few minutes walk from an easy-to-find stop. It was a pre-war family house that has so much character that is difficult to describe it. He was very friendly and welcoming, being very concerned that all was in order. We got everything figured out, despite my limited Japanese ability. The location is very interesting, and easy to walk to the beach and several restaurants (including an outstanding Gelateria). I'm not sure how it would work as base camp for a long stay, but I can't imagine needing to visit Niigata for as long as one would visit Kyoto or Tokyo. If you are coming to Niigata, even for a couple of days (and it's a great stop on a round-the-country tour), this is a wonderful place to stay.

Takeshi was a great host. I had everything I needed, and he addressed any problems immediately. The house is in a quiet, convenient location, and I had no problems.

6月28日から7月2日まで家族4人で滞在。 たかさんはホスピタリティーにあふれた方で、とても楽しい滞在が出来ました。家から海までは子供も足でも10分ほどで、浜からキス釣りを楽しみました。新潟市内までも徒歩で全く問題ありません。古い家が好きな私たちにはぴったりでした。次回、機会があれば今度は1週間ほどゆっくり滞在したいと思います。

very good!

We can not take a shower here, but Yamada has really welcomed us and has had a good memory of being a guide

The accommodation facilities are a work in progress, but Mr Yamada is a very kind and interesting man who will spend time with you and take you around. I've got a friend in Niigata now...

It's little bit difficult to find this place, but he picked me up to near station in spite of midnight. House is very artistic, surrounded by many books and old record music, it’s like "den". Host is kind, and never run out of things to talk about , it can not recommend it to those who do not want to be spoken. Yamada san,thank you very much for such a wonderful time.

Thank you very much.

It is an irresistible room for books, art, movies, music lovers. Mr. Yamada had a knowledge of various aspects such as books, arts, movies, I was able to talk about pretty intense content and I was able to spend a very fulfilling time. In the vicinity of the room I think that there is nothing troubling with convenience stores and meal disposal related to rice dinner. As I said, there is no bath as I wrote, but there are old-fashioned public baths in the vicinity, and I think that there is nothing troubling here because there is a super public bath if walking for a moment. As there is no mirror in the room, it is recommended to bring hand mirrors if you need it. It was my first time in Niigata, but when I stayed at Yuyonzuso, I became many times fun to travel. Thank you very much.

thank you for helping me. We were able to know the first time the land of the infield. It was nice to spend a lot of time traveling in the enclosed room in this. It is memories of even trip was met with Ango Sakaguchi. Thank you very much.

We stayed at this conference presentation. thank you for helping me. Mr. Yamada was a very kind person, and he taught me a lot about Uchino. The room is like a library, it is recommended for people who like books. I think that overall was also very good, but personally I felt inconvenience of only one point. I want curtains on two windows. Because the inside of the room was bright with street lamps at night. If you would like to refer. Also, I got sunflower seedlings on the way back. I'm happy. thank you very much. Thanks to that, the conference ended safely.

Great place to stay right outside of Niigata. It's a little bit of a walk from the station, but aside from that it was perfect.

※ us is the first Guest houses user. Note that there is a shift of recognition because I usually stay in business hotel level The toothbrush, razor body sponge was equipped with was unexpected. This was saved. The rooms are 3 people are really barely a size if put. We can not count on even sound insulation of wall thank you consideration to the surrounding houses.

Clean & comfortable, with a shared kitchen. Haru helped me out a lot, letting me use her bicycle and inviting me to a nice dinner with her family.

Nice quiet place near Toyosaka station. The house is very clean and Haru sends very detailed instructions to get to her place from Toyosaka station.

I like the place. very clean and quiet. I will go back here again

親切な対応をして頂き、安心して泊まることができました。ありがとうございます。

3人泊まるのはちょっときついですけど、部屋はとてもきれいです!

綺麗、アメニティが豊富、個室であるため、ホテル感覚で泊まれました。 しかし、通路を挟んで隣が学生のアパートなのか、若い人が外で叫ぶことがありました。

We were allowed to use to explore the city. The host is people very friendly, I was allowed to spend happily. In addition, I will also tell us information unique to local people, we are grateful. Thank you very much.

This place is probably the most unique place I have stayed at using Airbnb. The windows shake when busses or cars pass by the house but it has a very traditional charm. Wifi is very fast here and the breakfast was excellent. We were in good hands and the host did an excellent job at trying to meet all of our needs. This place gave us good memories of Japan.

wonderful host, nice traditional house!

Host was enthusiastic and reply was early. However, the room was connected with the store, and it was loud as it was open until late at night.

急な予約にも快く応じていただきとても助かりました。古い町家の風情、趣があり素敵です。ホストの方もとてもフレンドリーで子どもたちにもとても喜んでいました。トイレは和式でお子さんなど慣れていないと使いづらいかもしれません。

古民家の特徴を感じることができ、またホストの方に細やかな対応をしていただき楽しく過ごすことができました。

This house is close to the JR station, about 5 minutes walk. The space is clean and large for one person. It's also very quiet nearby.

Just as described, very neat and tidy. Very close to both Yashiroda Station and a convenience store!

突然の宿泊でしたが、快く受け入れてくださいました。また機会があれば、是非お願いしたいです。

佐渡汽船まで50分くらい。加茂川の花火と出雲崎漁港の花火に行きました。偶然でしたが大きい花火と賑やかな雰囲気と楽しめました。車なら絶好のロケーションですよ。

オーナーさんは反応も早いですし、特段の問題はないですよ。

めっちゃ広いお部屋です!

新潟駅から車で40分程度の場所ですが、部屋も広くかつ綺麗で最高でした。コンビニも目の前で、複合型のショッピングセンターも車で5分程の距離にあり、非常に便利な場所にあります。唯一の難点としては、駐車場の入り口とスペースがやや狭いので、大きめの車は注意が必要です。

部屋数が多くとても清潔感のあるいい所でした。

小镇非常安静漂亮。房子在铁路边上,不过还好,有两层窗户。房子干净宽敞,附近有便利店和食堂(饭菜很好吃!),步行几分钟就可以到矢代田车站,到长冈和新潟都挺方便。

部屋のすぐ横に線路が通っていますが、電車の本数が多くないので全く気になりませんでした。 目の前にコンビニがあるので、何かと便利でした。

お部屋、お風呂、トイレなど全てがキレイでゆっくり過ごせました。向かいにコンビニとレストランがあるのもとても助かりました!素泊まりには最高です!
