Within 10 minutes from the station, almost all transportation systems start from the station so it is very convenient to get anywhere. The only drawback is that there is only one girls' toilet and you often have to wait in the morning... Furthermore, it is on the third floor without an elevator, so you have to carry all your luggage up and down the stairs yourself (-/-). More suitable for backpackers. Everything else is generally ok, there is a shared kitchen, the beds are clean, and the front desk service is very enthusiastic.

The dormitory also has a high ceiling and doesn't feel oppressive. Since the facilities are fully equipped, I think it would be a good place to use as a base for sightseeing in Toyama for medium to long term stays. The best place park is also nearby, making it a great location for relaxing in the evening.

It was a great satisfactionIt's hard to find the entrance, so I'll post a photo.The facility is clean and the prices are cheap.There is a communal capsule shower unitYou can share the kitchen, refrigerator, microwave, and living/dining area.Since it's a hostel, you usually stay in a capsule hotel-style bunk bed in a large room.There are private rooms that can accommodate a large number of people, so it might be fun to book with friends or family.I think you could freely enter and exit using the numeric keypad.There's a convenience store nearby, so you won't have to worry about things like bento boxes, drinks, and alcohol.The interior is also elaborate, and it seems that the owner did the DIY work himself.That's a nice ideaNow that the coronavirus has subsided, now is the chance to aim for it.Recommended
