    There is a Mini Mart across the street and a 6 min walk to the nearest train station and McDonalds. You can easily walk the neighborhood and find multiple restaurants. From the description, I thought the property was closer to the Nishiki Market...

    The cabins/beds were quite big, which was pretty comfortable. All amenities I could need were in the hostel with a konbini next to it too. The lounge with a kitchen was also a plus.

    Clean hostel and polite and helpful staff. The rooms can be a bit noisy at times, but other than that it is a very practical hostel. Hing Ji and Rikuto were very courteous and helpful with my requests.
