The place was very hospitable, my partner was hesitant about the hostel having a common bathroom, but everything was so clean! The bathroom was great, with nice and pleasant soaps (body, hair & conditioner), the water was so warm, and the towel felt so fresh and clean! The bed and sheets felt so homie and clean! The room and bathroom were sparkling clean, the window to the garden from our room felt very inviting, I felt like I was living in an actual home in Tokyo (which is exactly that!). The neighbourhood is very quiet at night, I actually recommend sleeping with the window open, and having a sense of this amazing silence. We chose this location because it was on our way to Tokyo, while it's not in the city center, that's actually one of the place advantages! The neighbourhood it resides in seems very liveable, away from the hustle & bustle of the main city. Walking the streets was very pleasant, there is a fantastic izakaya just up (north) the street, which we also enjoyed very much. Thank you for our stay!

I loved the ambiance of the house, it's very cozy. It's not in Central Tokyo, but it's a really nice change of pace. Check in was easy. I thought that the bunkbed wasn't made, and someone came over to check it for us, but it was made, just differently from what we were used to. The bunkbed is great if you travel with someone who snores.

This was not the fault of the host: There were noisy people in the other room, talking and laughing until past midnight. If you want to be loud, this isn't the right place to stay. Also the airco was difficult to figure out, but it did work!

Loved that there was a couple bikes we could use to go for a ride around the town and there was some really cool wee local shops selling produce. Biggest thing we loved was having a kitchen and being able to cool our own food and try some of the local products! Would recommend this place to anyone.

Was a wee way from the city if you wanted to go and explore places but nice to be away from the city if you’ve been in the busy parts. The bed mattress was a little hard for my partner but I didn’t mind it.

The convenient location for even two train stations and affordable restaurants close-by to the stations. Friendly staff, although most of them don't speak English. A shared shower and toilet on both floors.

The kitchen is not tidy and spacious because some guests do use it for cooking. When they are busy, the others don't have enough room to make a cup of tea or coffee. The matrass is not hard or good enough for my back.

I extended my stay from one night to another four nights!! The house is comfortable, feels just like home. I recommend for a short and long term stay. My room is located near the entrance door, it’s very large. There’s a public bath and laundry nearby. Also there’s a cute cafe in front of the house, very cozy. The owner is very polite and accommodative. I met her once in the morning. Thank you very much!!

If you have big and heavy suitcases, be prepared for the walk. However, it’s a nice neighborhood.

This is a true hidden gem. Maybe the best place I've stayed in Japan -- certainly the best value. The house has a very charming old/classic look with beautiful wood used throughout, but importantly the kitchen and bathroom areas are updated and modern -- everything works very well. Great extra orange lamp in my room. Rooms were very tastefully decorated in the traditional style. The staff are extremely friendly and welcoming, and will happily help you out. The neighborhood is astoundingly quiet and tranquil. Quaint bath house a block away. The heater/aircon unit was a bit confusing, so I recommend asking how to use that properly.

Nothing

Very nice and cozy hostel with a traditional Japanese aesthetic (big plus! it has character!). Facilities, including kitchen, were clean. Room was comfortable. Neighbourhood was also very comfortable and safe, not far from the train station. Staff was so friendly and nice, thank you!

The stairs were very narrow so it was a bit hard to get my big suitcase up and down them, but it is definitely doable.

The room was very clean and the bed comfortable. It is small and cozy but has everything needed. The bathroom and toilet was very clean. Kaoru was so helpful with the check-in and adjustments to my schedule as well as requests from my side. 1000% recommend.

The walls are a bit thin, I was lucky to not have direct neighbors in the first nights, but otherwise you would hear someone showering/using the bathroom, at day it didn’t bother me.

Had a great stay here overall Room was clean and nice same for shower and toilet Wi fi was very fast Location is a little outside of the city but train station supermarkets and 7 eleven is just about 5 min walk The hostel is run by 2 old woman both of them are nice one speaks good English the other one not really

One of the 2 lady’s didn’t really spoke English well so communication was a bit difficult Walls are very thin you can hear everything from other rooms

The staff was amazing, kind, and curteous. The location was super close to the station, and not terribly far from too much, but I did get in 20,000 steps a day while I was there. Check in was easy, but be wary, google maps has the wrong address. Someone local showed me the way. Check out was even easier, just handed off my keys and left. Close to many convenience stores and restaurants, I reccomend the ones close to the station. There was a figure shop that sold buildable models. Nice place and good prices. I got an edo castle model for about 10 usd.

Staff got in around 11am every day, so if you need to check out sooner than that, youll have to just wait.
