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.

We liked this hostel a lot but the pillows were awful, despite them having multiple to choose from so appreciate that might be on us a bit but we both didn’t sleep well for 4 nights as a result. The location was great, staff were friendly and the cafe/bar at the bottom was really nice.

Staff were nice at check in. Bathroom facilities were clean and tidy. Room gave adequate privacy with curtains. However the lockers didn’t have storage which locked securely, you could have anyone go in there whilst you slept. Also there should be quiet hours in the hostel, because somebody came in at 1am and switched on their light and didn’t return for almost an hour disturbing my sleep as light was on. Not very sociable, I said hi to some people who just stared blankly. Strange vibe.
