Hello, Masa.sohara! Welcome to Wikivoyage.
To help get you started contributing, we've created a tips for new contributors page, full of helpful links about policies and guidelines and style, as well as some important information on copyleft and basic stuff like how to edit a page. If you need help, check out Help, or post a message in the travellers' pub. If you are familiar with Wikipedia, take a look over some of the differences here.
Thanks for adding a listing for your youth hostel, but please read the don't tout guidelines, particularly WV:Pronouns. As Wikis are co-authored, listings cannot use "we" and other first-person language. Also, please summarize and avoid promotional language. I'll give you an example. Your text:
Do You want to go to discovery other spots that is not listed in the guide book? We are happy to recommend our favorites indoor,outdoor bath and we do our best to ensure guests and can reach them.
"Indoor, outdoor bath" seems like just a copy/paste error, but a non-promotional version of this text would look something like this:
Staff are happy to recommend things to do and see in the area.
Please edit the listing accordingly, and do not be surprised if someone else simply reverts (deletes) this version of the listing, as it's not really the job of volunteer editors to spend lots of time editing out touting.
All the best,

External links policy[edit]
Please read WV:External links#What not to link to, as well. For example, the "Get around" section needs to be in prose and cannot substitute an external link for that. You are contributing a lot of content, which is great, but you are also adding a lot of things that will need to be removed per Wikivoyage policy. Sorry about that, but every site has its house style and guidelines. Can I leave it to you to make the needed edits? Ikan Kekek (talk) 22:58, 27 January 2017 (UTC)
- Thank you very much for taking care of this. I did some followup edits. Now, after reading about the town, I want to visit Minakami! Someday. :-) Ikan Kekek (talk) 09:05, 31 January 2017 (UTC)
