In terms of bedding, the guests house is mainly dormitory style, and bedding is as mentioned traditional Japanese style futons. The dorm rooms are separated by gender and have a ‘lights out’ time at 10pm meaning that if you need to get a good night’s sleep before a big day exploring you won’t be kept up late by noisy neighbors. A night in the guesthouse will cost you 3,500 yen, but that includes full access to the kitchen, common room and bathroom.
