- Outdoor wooden deck with river and mountain views

Sürətli Xülasə: It's a beautifully renovated traditional home with a great social vibe, but the paper-thin walls mean you'll hear your neighbors breathing.
Rəy verən @tripsplot: I stayed at Ichi The Hostel during my Shikoku 88 pilgrimage and it was the perfect haven. The shared kitchen saved me money, and the lounge was great for meeting fellow walkers. If you need a cozy, authentic place to rest your feet, this is it!
