A quaint and sweet spot not too far from Shizuoka Station. They provide a dormitory experience or a private room option as well. The dormitory capsules are comfortable, but can be a bit loud when at capacity. In all honesty, it was a bit difficult to sleep in the conditions, but was still a comfortable. The bathrooms and showers are clean and well maintained. The lockers are a bit small, but holds valuables. There are options for breakfast and other amenities for a small fee as well, if necessary.

A cafe-hostel hybrid, which features a nostalgic antique ambience. But when it comes to accommodation, I found it merely passable.First, this place doesn’t allow late check-in. Last time is 8pm (actually it could be 9pm on Wed/Fri because the cafe opens late, but the website doesn’t really tell).Second, there’s only one toilet for I think 8 beds. And one male shower room and one female room. For the toilet, the glass panel on the door was installed in reverse, so people can see through inside when they come near enough, while you sitting inside would see nothing from inside. I read this early from one of the reviews but thought they would have fixed it, but no.Third, when I stayed in, only 2 out of 8 (including me) dorm beds were used. But they assigned me right next to the other sleeper. Which turned out disastrous to me when the other sleeper snored like thunder. I put on AirPods with noise cancellation, which usually solved every noise problem I had, but not this time. Certainly they wouldn’t have known about this issue, but when there were ample bed choices, it wasn’t the best idea to put sleepers next to each other in term of potential risk control for bed bugs etc as well.Fourth, the air ventilation is not ideal. Like the second floor had only one window half open, which is in the toilet. Just imagine someone pooped. Aside from that, there were weird smells even when nobody’s using toilet.Fifth, this place was quite calculative/insensitive to traveler’s needs in general. I checked in 730pm, and checked out by 5am to catch Mt Fuji (luggage moved out ahead of time). Then i decided to come back to take a a shower and chill a bit at 1030pm (which was 30min earlier than the checkout time). When i was applying my facial care, they came to the washroom area and told me what the checkout time was supposed to be and I could only use the common area till 12pm. When they said that, it’s not even 10mins past 11 yet! I wasn’t planning to stay after all coz i had to catch a train to Fujikawaguchiko at 1pm.Overall, this place gave me a feeling that they were commited to their hostel business, but never really stand in the perspective of travelers to provide values to travelers.For the price, there are other better hostels in the neighbourhood (it’s not right for me to name them here). In fact, this place is actually considerably farther from Shizuoka station, and no elevator. They need to be thinking why people should choose them out of all competitors.

Vintage style cafe with the option to stay the night in either a capsule or private room. I went for some early morning toast and pineapple juice. Loved the vibe and how nice the owner was - a great place to get information on local events and activities. Definitely worth a visit/stay.
