Cheap hotels in Ao

The location is near to the station and the beach area! The owner is so nice and friendly

It is located just next to a beach with an outdoor area for BBQ. It is a perfect location to stay if you drive and you can purchase food and drinks very cheaply at the nearby MaxValu supermarket for your BBQ. The place is well equipment with a comfortable dinning room facing the sea. Going to Shirakawa-go is only one hour drive but don't attempt to drive to the Tenshukaku Oberservation Deck as you can only go there by shuttle bus. Shirakawa-go is a nice place to visit, don't miss.

My stay at Yanafu was truly delightful. The Japanese house, with its spacious 120 m², is very welcoming, comfortable, and beautifully designed with a natural and sustainable style. Bright, full of light, and featuring restored wood details, it also has a vintage HiFi stereo system that sounds absolutely wonderful. The bathroom was spacious with two individual showers, and the bedroom was perfectly quiet, equipped with a brand-new air conditioner. The host was very kind and friendly—she recommended all the wonderful places I visited nearby. Thanks to her advice, I enjoyed a fantastic restaurant just 12 minutes away on foot, where a talented chef served exquisite dishes in a minimalist setting with a table overlooking a zen garden, all at a very reasonable price. On my way back, I followed her recommendation to stop at a cocktail bar 8 minutes from the house, walking along the illuminated riverside. The place was like stepping into a movie set—the interior design was a true work of art, with more than 80 bourbons and an extensive selection of cocktails. The next morning, following her guidance again, I had breakfast in a café walking only 6 minutes, a former fisherman’s warehouse beautifully renovated. They served excellent coffee, cakes, and sandwiches—the perfect spot to start the day or work with a laptop. In summary, my stay at Yanafu was wonderful. The 120 m² house is warm and cozy, and with the host’s thoughtful recommendations, I could enjoy unique and unforgettable places within walking distance. Ideal for families, groups, and also for romantic couples, thanks to the beautiful surroundings. I will definitely return often.

Very friendly staff with a cute family. Nice traditional house and the fire pit was comforting. I had nice conversations with other guests. Also, the food was very tasty. I'm impressed at what a good value this was, and hope to visit again. The shared room was nice because a curtain separated me from the other guests, so I had a little more privacy. And it was free to park cars and bikes. It seems many guests were on a road trip.
