~ About Us ~ DELTA HOSTEL is operated by Outcrop, a film production company based in Akita. The name "Outcrop" comes from geology, meaning when buried minerals or veins are exposed on the Earth's surface. The name reflects our mission to uncover valuable stories hidden in society and share them with the world, creating new movements. We started our filmmaking journey with a documentary called Gifts from Numayama, which tells the story of a long-lost heirloom radish. We now run "Outcrop Cinema," a small theater where we screen films that we believe should be seen by the people of Akita once a month. Additionally, we are involved in running "Atle DELTA," a multifaceted hub where people gather and collaborate. Our office is located on the 4th floor of Atle DELTA, so feel free to say hello if you see us around!

~ Check-in Information ~ Check-in is done via a self-check-in tablet. If you arrive between 15:00 and 18:00, please stop by the café on the first floor. While you can check in after 18:00, staff will not be available, so we recommend arriving before then. After booking, you will receive an email titled "Guest Information Request" (Agoda guests will receive one titled "Reply from DELTA HOSTEL"). Please fill it out in advance to make your check-in process smoother. Once you submit your info, you’ll receive a "Check-in Code" that you’ll need for check-in. Please save the email with this code. The email will also include the "Bus Schedule from Akita Station" and "Parking Info." ~ About the Facility ~ DELTA HOSTEL is located on the second floor of the "AtleDELTA" complex in a quiet residential area. The building also features a coworking space and café pub, and free Wi-Fi is available throughout, making it ideal for workations. On the first floor, "COFFEEHOUSE Machi no Minato" offers specialty coffee, espresso, and dishes made with local Akita ingredients and global cooking techniques. On the fourth floor, you'll find a coworking space and a simple kitchen, available 24 hours a day, from check-in to check-out. We provide eco-friendly amenities, including amino acid shampoo, body soap, hand soap, and laundry detergent. Bamboo toothbrushes are available for purchase at the café, but we don’t provide disposable ones, so please bring your own. ~ About DELTA HOSTEL ~ The name "DELTA" comes from the river delta, where streams flow and converge, creating fertile land. We hope this hostel will be a place where diverse people and ideas come together to create new connections and inspiration. Though we don’t offer hotel-style services, we hope your stay will help you explore Akita’s unique charm, find new work inspiration, or meet interesting people. Feel free to chat with our staff—sometimes, international guests or artists stay with us!
