“The owner/staff(?) was very friendly and helpful. We felt very welcome in this hostel - thanks!! The place was neat/tidy and very clean, above all, and it's very close to a station (though you may have to rely on 'Google Maps' in Japan). What I liked about the place most was that they've got only a few rooms and there aren't too many people staying there at the same time. So, it was very quiet at night, which we really appreciated.”

“As other reviewers have said, Taka is a welcoming, generous, and engaging host. The hostel is well-appointed and has a large kitchen and lounge area with proper equipment to cook simple meals plus lots of free coffee (not instant!); a big window looks out on the river. There's a small market nearby and a fruit stand. It's a very short train trip to Fushimi Inari.”
