this hostel was very cool, with the traditional style beds, which I enjoyed. However, some people complained of back issues from the firmer mattress so keep in mind if you have issues. The showers were clean and had soap, there was a hairdryer but it wasn’t very strong. Not a very social hostel, very quiet but I did enjoy it like this.

The hostel is not super social, and it’s in a traditional Japanese building. The downside is that the walls are paper-thin and it can be quite cold in the winter

Goojo Guest House is warm, friendly, and homely. The staff are wonderful, kind, and so welcoming. The location is perfect where everything is max 20 minute walk, or transport is 6 min walk. Facilities are probably where my rating drops. We had a shared, tatami style room which we loved in theory, but lack of curtains didnt offer much privacy. Only two western toilets downstairs shared with the cafe/lounge. A very old building, a little run down but a lot of character. Cafe is amazing!
