The best Hostel ever~
Im just looking forward to visit again soon.
Thanks a lot host TAKU^^
4.0 / 5.0
Tak is very cool, he will explain a lot of things and share experience with you if he has visited your country!
The beds and toilets are fine for the price. Beds very confortable.
The only thing its not very clean! The toilet and room smells a little bit.
But we had a very good stay.

Place definitely needs some cleaning and organization. The host is kind, however I would like to highlight that I struggled with communication. A small example: while I was organizing some coins on the counter, the host came up and grabbed my money, then attempting to give me other coins in exchange... this was super random and action done without any verbal communication. I had to stop him and reverse the exchange I never asked for.
If you have any issues with hoarding behaviours or a lack of cleanliness, I would skip over this place. Otherwise, decent location, close to a train station and quiet.

Great convenient area although a little secluded from all the big tourist attractions but with it's own attractions.

Our host Tak truly made the stay memorable. He genuinely enjoys running a hostel and is happy to help with finding local gems and organizing outings with other guests. From kareoke to movie nights to the best local ramen shop Tak is your guy.
The hostel is also right next to an amazing little bento shop, near both a 711 and family mart, coffee down stairs, and a five minute walk from a great train station.

In my opinión, this is not a hostel. This is the owners apartment with a bunch of strict rules that makes staying uncomfortable and awkward. Everyone has to follow the rules or he gets angry (because he is behind you 24/7). A hostel is not Just a place to sleep, its also a cool social space where people want to relax while they can meet other backpackers, but that was not how this was. Most of the travellers are adults and they dont want a strict mom behind them telling us not to spill a drop of water in the kitchen or bathroom.
My suggestion: bro just chill out, get a volunteer to clean sometimes and focus more in Hospitality and make everyone have a good environment and enjoy their stay. You make people feel ALOT of anxiety.
I would recommend paying more somewhere else to be able to breathe. It was unnecessary stress on our trip we would have rather avoided.

The place was usually much hotter than outside, we got threatened to get kicked out for using a rice cooker [owner had told us we could use everything in the kitchen to cook], owner kept making up rules as we were staying like not being in the lounge past midnight, youre about 50 mins from anything worth seeing in tokyo

Tak was very hospitable! Def would recommend it to people who are looking to save money, as well as potentially meet new people.

The owner tak will make you feel at home. The town is quite and away from the hustle of Tokyo, but very close to transit. You can’t go wrong with staying here.

We went to this place. It wasn’t private whatsoever. There was no air conditioning upstairs. The owner was extremely abrasive the second we showed up. It was dirty and messy. No lock on the bathroom door. We felt totally unsafe. So we decided we were gonna tell him that and ask him for a refund. He argued and argued with us about how he wasn’t going to lose money off it. Agreed to pay us HALF back for the next 4 nights. So we lost about $150 over it. Then he demanded we pay the fee that he pays to hotels.com for our booking. We said no. Eventually he said pay half and we gave up because we wanted the rest of our money back. It was insane. He also argued with me about getting a receipt. He said he doesn’t give receipts. I said I paid you in cash I need a receipt to prove that Oh also he made me pay up front and in cash

The cleanliness is way too bad from what it is shown in the advertisement. The room size is packed with 12 people in it where smtimes you dont feel the aircond at all (i went in summer) and it was so hot that disturbed my sleeps there. If u want to do laundry, owner will get it done for u and u need to pay 200 yen for it each time. I think u need to re-think if u want to stay here (if u choose a lil bit of convenient).

Tak was a really nice host, very welcoming.Facilities there were great, had everything we could ask for.Only real negative is that it is a bit further out from central Tokyo but can’t complain as the price is really good.

Great place with a very friendly owner. He was very helpfull and would give you tips on what to do and how to things in Tokyo. In general a very friendly atmosphere with lot's of other backpackers hanging out together in the common room, sharing their experience. Would definitely recommend if you are looking to meet other people.
