This is one of the nicest places I’ve ever stayed!! Super close to trains etc, but on a quiet, residential street. The hostel is beautifully and tastefully appointed, with tons of great little amenities. I stayed in the dorm, and I felt like I was camping (but my neighbors were quieter here!! ;-). Isa and Yumi were consummate hosts, not only with advice and conversation, but in cleaning everyday and making sure that we had everything we needed. They have a little green space outback, and the whole stay was like a calm oasis in the middle of a giant city. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!

A very friendly guesthouse. I stayed here with three other friends in one room. It was a bit cramped, but we had enough space for just sleeping and rummaging through our koffers.Isa is very kind and was happy to help us with the surrounding activities and with the japanese language and customs.I would happily stay here again, and can't recommend it enough.
