About

The highlight of our hostel is the 1st floor, Café and Bar lounge. The lounge has made by carpenters who gathered up for us from all over the country. It is absolutely overwhelming! Of course it can be used as a common space for our registered guest.

About the location, from Kyoto sta. 15min by local bus, and from our place just 1min walk to beautiful Kamo River. It also close to Gion area and one of the city centers, so we can say our place is in a good location for sightseeing.

In the morning you will start your day with great coffee aroma and enjoy our bar at the end of the day with many travelers from all over the world who are also enjoying drinks and delicious foods. What you need to do after that is just go back to your room and have a good sleep.
We look forward to welcoming you.

The staff were really kind, food & drink also incredible. Mostly quiet in the shared dorms. Close to Gion district, great location and nice atmosphere.

Really loved this hostel. The common room was delightful. Only thing I’d improve on was the pin pad to get into the dorm was noisy, so it was disruptive when sleeping. But otherwise, perfect. Softer beds than normal too, which was welcome.

Good location, nice and clean. Felt safe and enjoyed my stay. Bit far from the shrines, more in the shopping district, close to the train station. Semi social, there is a range of ages which is nice! Rooms were relatively small, so it was easy to make friends with dormmates.
