Check-in was easy, and even though it was a midsummer day, the air conditioning was good and I was able to sleep peacefully in the Japanese-style room on the third floor. It felt nostalgic.There was no problem with the shower room, but you have to go through the common space to use it.The donut shop on the first floor was open from noon, soI couldn't buy it when I checked out by 10 o'clock, but I would like to use it again if I have the opportunity.

The check-in method is innovative and will lead to cost reductions, and if you check carefully, you will be able to confirm the entrance password without any problems.In my case, there was dirt and hair left on the sheets, so I wanted to change them, and there were a lot of mosquitoes, so I wanted to borrow a vape, but the staff was unattended, so I thought it would be a bit of a problem at times like this.

Its been years since I've been here, but it's still one of my most fond memories of my Japan trip. Lovely hosts, lovely café, lovely social activities and tips and (maybe because of Ini) I really liked visiting Kobe all together really. I hope to visit again.

What was good about it*There is a bathtub. I didn't use it though.*C/I guide video is a good ideaWhat was bad*It took a long time to charge my smartphone and mobile battery, probably because the voltage installed in the bed was low.*Difficult to find the door to enter and exit at night. The trap is to use the one that doesn't have "push" or "pull" written on it.*Self-C/O aside, I personally prefer having someone present for C/I.*The hot water in the shower was extremely lukewarm. ←The water heater may have been turned off.

This has been my best experience in Japan. The city is not so busy compared to others, which I really liked. Sei (the owner) and Kaito were so nice and helped with useful tips and recommendations. They even planned and joined for activities. I highly recommend that place for solo travelers (and everybody else).

A small dormitory hostel. The location is good. The facilities are nothing special, but the shared bathroom does have a bathtub.On the first floor is a newly opened cafe called BRUN, where we were served delicious donuts in the morning!
