Great place to stay, the bunks are really comfortable and you get a great nights sleep on them. Made to feel welcomed straight away with maps and information sheets handed to you within a few minutes. So my nights were already planned as their suggested bars, such as Ken$ is great.... Tourists and locals getting trollied together lol and you can walk back in 15 drunk min.s You have to try the 100 yen a plate sushi that is on their handy town guide as well.

Their free maps of the city center is pretty comprehensive with a plethora of shops, restaurants, atm's and tourist spots. Free tea and coffee. The only suggestion (Not complaint) is to perhaps have more than 1 shower room for the dormitories. Other than that, great lace! =)Their free maps of the city center is pretty comprehensive with a plethora of shops, restaurants, atm's and tourist spots. Free tea and coffee.

What an absolute gem of a place. Particularly useful was the little personalised map the staff gave me on my arrival. All key spots highlighted and comments on good places to eat. One of the staff even gave me a lift back to the station rather than have me lug my bag onto the tram. I'm sure not a regular occurrence for guests but goes to show how thoughtful and pleasant they were. Good clean facilities. Highly recommended.What an absolute gem of a place.

This is a very friendly hostel. The owners are friendly and speak English very well. Make sure you also try the little cafe run by a friendly old couple around the corner from the hostel (ask the owners), they have the best home made cakes.This is a very friendly hostel.

One of my favorite hostels in Japan. Nice common area and kitchen. The ensuite female dorm is a great value. They've got a full size Japan-style tub! The staff is really nice, and they arrange free tours with local girls every day. Had a really, really nice time!One of my favorite hostels in Japan. Nice common area and kitchen.

THANKS for the free shuttle service to the station- this was very impressive for us. Looking at our huge luggage (transportation by the tram very unconfortable) the host gave us a ride by his own car to the central station - a very, very friendly service !!THANKS for the free shuttle service to the station- this was very impressive for us.

Nice staff and location. After Rodrigo and I have been to so many Hostels, we liked the nice charm of this little place, like when we were in Thailand and had a blast in this one place where we met jaques, the french guy.

Really great hostel, non-mixed dorms are excellent value with own bathroom. Staff could not have been friendlier or more helpful. Really great hostel, non-mixed dorms are excellent value with own bathroom. Staff could not have been friendlier or more helpful. ...Close
