Bad place, I do not recommend staying there. Bad treatment. There is one toilet and one shower. You find yourself restricted as if you are in a prison. Your belongings are thrown on the floor with no place for them.

It wasn't registered on any website, so I looked for it on Google Maps on my own. There are no guesthouses or even business hotels around here, so it's very valuable. However, most of the customers are foreigners. On that day, there were almost only white people. It's tough if the windows aren't open. I don't come to Tokyo in the summer. I'm so grateful that the 2,800 yen price includes a shower.You can also drink it at Tateishi. It's between two stations, so it's a good idea to walk if you want to visit Taishakuten.

Me and my friend stayed here for 6 days. We did not enjoy our experience. The room is very dusty. The location is very far from Tokyo. The owner sleeps in the same room as you and is not friendly.

Tak (hostel owner) you are a special person! Mega Hostel, extreme furnishings, lots of characters, manga, etc. That alone is pure Japan. Beds comfortable. Shower nice and warm. Everything is very compact in the hostel. Location is a little outside the center, but close to the Edo River. Here you can observe the country and its people (usually they can only speak Japanese) except for the train ride, everything is great!
