The owner was exceptionally welcoming from the beginning until I left , he even offer me a breakfast that wasn't included into my deal . The bed was really big as I'm 2 m tall and slept without a big problem to fit my leg inside . I was lucky being the only one that day . Will be back there anytime I'm in Tokyo 🤘

I love how it’s so near to Kanda station, only a few minutes walk from west exit. Then, the host was very nice and friendly :) he prepared great breakfast(toast and jam, tea, coffee..) definitely gonna recommend this place to everyone! The room is great, and clean.

Aurealia Japan

The staff was really friendly and helpful during my stay. They were flexible with me and made my stay very welcoming.

Adventureamber United States of America

Jij was a wonderful host making us feel at home. While waiting for the typhoon Jij was keeping us fed with his emergency food supply. Far exceeded my expectation, would definitely go back if I visit Tokyo again.

Vegar Norway

10 mins from Tokyo or Kanda stations, which is convenient. 3500¥ per night is very competitive Perfectly clean and functional. No luxuries, but that is normal at this price range. Staff very helpful and friendly.

David Canada

Jij-san was a very nice and host. Gracious and wonderful. very cheerful and helpful. place is really clean ( i love the smell of the bathroom). I liked the unlikely location. Its in an alley tucked hidden within the business buildings of chiyoda in tokyo (but still easy to locate with google). You get to witness local salary men going to and from work, quite an immersive cultural experience. food places and convenience stores are near.

Usually Philippines

Very well organized. Good energy. Always helpful and kind. Went above expectations!

Alex United States of America

Jiji is the best! He had some free breakfast ready in the morning and was really hospitable. I’d go back and stay in this place just to see to good old man!

Niko United States of America

Jiji is a fantastic host that makes this hostel feel like home! He genuinely tries to get to know all of his guests and goes out of his way to make them feel welcome. I enjoyed the breakfasts, chatting with Jiji and the other guests, and the short walk to Chiyoda. There are many restaurants nearby around Kanda station. Before leaving Tokyo, I want to go back and stay here again just to visit Jiji. Thanks for a wonderful welcome to Tokyo!

Jessica United States of America

The place was clean. The bed was comfortable. The owner was very friendly and went out of his way to make sure people were happy. The location is great since it has attractions such as the east imperial gardens within walking distance and it has several train stations close so you can move around easily
