If I had seen the reviews, I would never have gone. I paid 8,000 yen to stay in a twin room, but it was very different from the picture. I might be satisfied with around 4,000 yen. It was a folding mattress in a tatami room. The bathroom is shared, for both men and women, and is locked with a single latch. Maybe that's why all the guests other than me were men (you can tell by looking at their shoes). I could hear the foreign tourists talking in the next room, and the bathroom was unisex and smelly. Definitely not recommended for Asian women. Better go to a capsule hotel.

2024/07/07Thank you for staying with us for one night. As other people have said, the walls are thin, and even if you are talking at a normal volume, you can hear the conversation in the next room. When I stayed. I was worried about whether I would be able to sleep because I could hear people talking all the time from the room next door, but luckily they seemed to have gone to bed so I was able to sleep peacefully. There was an air conditioner installed in the room, but it didn't cool down even if I set it to 18 degrees. Since this is a true overnight stay, there is no TV in the room, just a bath towel and a futon. It was a bit inconvenient that there was no tissue paper in the room. It may be a good idea to go to extremes and say this is fine, but I also thought that if I was going to pay the same amount, I would choose somewhere else.

We were very happy to extend our stay here. It’s a very nice and quiet hostel that is conveniently located. The place was clean, staff was nice, and the right size not to be bumping into other guests during your stay.

Still, the room has its own separate spaces. There was a private space and a USB port. However, the dormitory is in the basement, so it makes noise at night. If someone snores, it is difficult to fall asleep.
