    I really liked the hostel. Be aware that the hostel is old and simple, but clean with good Japanese style. My Japanese style room was very nice. For the price, it exceeded my expectations. Unfortunately, I could only spent one night and arrived...

    The best part about this hostel was the great atmosphere. It had a great traditional feel and was also easy to relax at. I was staying in the winter, but it didn't feel too cold.
