    Clean, very nice staff and big dorms. It’s a big complex. You can do you laundry, buy food, have breakfast and dinner, but also use the kitchen including the fridge. It was a really nice place to stay in Kyoto. It‘s easily reachable with the bus...

    Great location! Really enjoyed my stay in a more rural Japan. The place is a bit far away from downtown, but it’s still just 1 bus (30 min approximately). Beds are nice, staff too. They have hammocks on small balconies you can use to relax, really...

    Amazing place, one of the best hostels I’ve ever stayed. Almost like going to a retreat with a great sense of community. Facilities are great, staff is friendly, and breakfast buffet style.
