Our hostel is located in the historical district of 'Gion' area where 'maiko' walk around, and just a couple of minutes walk to some popular temples and shrines. So the surrounding area is very quiet, beautiful and calm.

We don't provide any food service but there are a Japanese style tatami floor living room with fully-equipped kitchen.

▲NOTICE▲
**Please note that we are "ryokan-style hostel" so we DO NOT PROVIDE any food service and we DO NOT HAVE a bath-tub/Onsen.**

**Our hostel has preserved the beauty of the old buildings, so soundproofing is not perfect and there are no lifts/elevator. It is a great place to stay if you want to enjoy the old Japanese style of accommodation, but not for those who want to spend quiet time in their rooms.**

**We are afraid that our hostel is not designed to accommodate big groups, so we might ask you to cancel reservations if you are a big group (we can only accommodate a group up to 4 people in our Mixed dormitory, up to 3 people in Female dormitory).**

**We have a policy of limiting the length of stay at our hotel.**

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation!

Very clean, comfortable and safe stay. Showers + bathrooms are communal but, kept in good condition. About 15 minute walk from city center + subway. Would definitely stay here again.
