a neighbourhood away from too much of the busy central Osaka, this was perfect for our first stop in Japan. The hostel was so comfy with friendly staff, and helpful recommendations for local food too! Would come back!

Staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Beds were comfortable and clean. Location is a little far from the city center but still very accessible by train. The owner was super cool and accompanied us to some local spots. The environment created makes it really easy for solo travelers to make friends. Best hostel experience I've ever had. Thanks Tomo!

It has a moody appearance wrapped in ivy. An art house that is a renovated old folk house.The shiny black floors and stairs give it a nice atmosphere.The entrance is a cafe space where you can relax.There were many guitars in the parlor, and I was able to play them.Recommended for people who want to practice guitar while traveling.I'm tall, so the bunk beds were a little uncomfortable due to the low ceiling, but I guess that's a plus since it's such an atmospheric place.It seems that Kagaya is a town that supports artists, and there are many other artistic shops besides this one.When I made the reservation, I thought it would be inconvenient because it was far from Umeda, but if you take a leisurely train ride, you'll be there before you know it.It's only about 2 minutes from the station, so I didn't feel inconvenienced.I would like to stay again ✨ Thank you very much.

Very much an authentic hostel experience. The rooms were nowhere near as nice as the photos made them seem. The wall looked like they were starting to fall apart, which isn't a deal breaker by any means, but when we found a cockroach, we couldn't stay here.The owner was super helpful, and reimbursed us for the night and ensured the problem would be taken care of.
