The staff was amazing and made the place feel like home. Starting at check in you’re greeted by the lovely pup Jiro. Then throughout my stay, everyone was so helpful and friendly. As a solo traveler, I was sad to leave a place that made me feel like family. It feels like you’re staying in an authentic traditional Japanese home turned hostel.

It was clean, neat, had many necessary self care items that I didn’t need to bring mines. It has coffee machine, a small kitchen with anything you may need and common area that we can enjoy our time. The luggage room was so convenient that saved my trip. Nice price.
