Wonderful hostel with thoughtful touches and delicious breakfast. Staff went above and beyond to help and make our stay comfortable, even finding and accompanying me to a clinic to help translate when I needed to see a doctor. I am so grateful for their hospitality!

It was such a cute place nice Japanese design. We definitely got the kyoto vibe right when we walked in. The living room and bedroom was spacious compared to other places in Japan. It was clean and looked fully equipt with a kitchen and laundry. Check in and check out was really convenient with a lockbox. The location is also a bonus and walking distance to many restaurants, like Uzu vegan ramen. We really enjoyed this place and would recommend it!
