Hostel Kochinoya

Hostel Kochinoya is located in Aki, a central city in the eastern part of Kochi, Japan. It is a renovated guesthouse fashioned from an 80-year-old traditional Japanese house. Originally a silk factory owner's residence, this property boasts a spacious layout with a main building, detached accommodations, and a garden on approximately 180 tsubo (about 595 square meters).
