A 20 minute walk from the station.Rooms were comfortable and quiet, however some areas were very dusty, and the laundry machines next to our room were quite noisy at times.Big kitchen and common area with everything you need. They play nice, chill jazz music.Only one shower and one proper toilet per floor.

Honestly the only hostel chain I'd stay at in Japan if given the choice. There are so many intangibles that make a good hostel, Let's call it the "fung shui" and this hostel chain just nails it every time. Big spacious common areas, well equipped kitchens, travellers who hang out, good natural lighting in the rooms and they don't feel cramped. I stayed at K's in both Mt fuji and kyoto.

Nice hostel with great staff, everything is very clean and organized. The common room and kitchen are also large and have plenty of seating and cooking utensils.Since our room was directly above the terrace/lounge area, you could hear the other guests at night despite the windows being closed.

Very well equipped hostel. Clean and great location. The only downside is the room next to the showers and toilets, because unfortunately it's always loud even until 2 am 🫣. But that's not the fault of the staff... only the guests.

If you want to meet other travelers, this is the hotel for you. The staff is friendly and speaks English very well. The facilities are self-service with payments by piggy bank, at the convenience of visitors. The shared areas are large and comfortable. The entire hotel has a multicultural decor and atmosphere that encourages exchanges between travelers.

Great hostel with a huge common room and kitchen. We really like the private room which was the biggest one we've had in Japan and made in a tatami-style. The hostel was easy to get to from the bus station.
