No luggage past the entrance and limited space to access/open suitcases, especially for more than one person around check out time. I would recommend repacking a smaller bag to take upstairs before arrival.

Friendly atmosphere and located close to supermarket and laundromat in a nice, calm area. Comfortable and spacious bed. Very thorough check in process to know what's around.

Amazing and lovely place, if you search a good place to meet in tokyo this one is perfect

Stayed in August 2025

Showers close from 11am to 5pm

The guesthouse It’s 30 min to Tokyo center and transport train is 8 min by walk but the neighborhood is calm and pleasant (convenient store/ shops) near the accommodation. If you travel alone, it’s the best way to meet people from all over the world and appreciate your time in Japan. Lizzy and Chantelle who work here, are very kind and give you good advice for your trip. Thanks you I have a good time here 😊

No complaints. Everything was great.

Although it is 1 hour by train from downtown Tokyo, the neighbourhood is calm which is great if you want to take a break from the big crowds. Besides the hostel is very close to the train station. Great place to meet travelers and share tips. I had great exchanges with the guests and we did a lot of plans together. The staff and makoto were great. Always in a good mood and ready to help me with anything.

Makoto and the staff were so friendly, if felt like being at home. The shared common space is so lovely and bright and the beds are quite big for capsule beds!

That I didn't go there sooner...

This guest house is owned and operated by great people who care deeply about what they are doing, and only the highest caliber of guests seem to show up for it so if that's you, don't hesitate!

Difficult to find a place to relax alone except for your bed if you need it, but bunks are quiet. Wifi can be a little slow, but never unusable.

Social guesthouse with comfortable and semi-private pod-style bunks. Lots of other travelers and young folks to meet and spend time with, and plenty of restaurants and nearby grocery stores to get food. The kitchen and fridge is nice to avoid needing to go find someplace to eat every single meal. Staff was also very friendly and helpful!

Close to what you need and a very chill place to stay

No cabinets/lockers. It had only one shower booth, which I had to wait to use.

A cheap, nice, and very clean guesthouse. The guests are also kind. Superb kitchen.

Hostel was so clean and the stuff was very helpful.

Admins Izhara and Anne were extremely kind, prompt, helpful and accommodating. But I’m afraid I can’t say the same about the owner. She flat-out refused to let me check in after 10PM - unless I paid 1500 yen per hour that I ‘made them wait’! As a result, I had to sleep the first night at the airport, in spite of having paid for that first night. Plus, her solution was always to cancel completely, instead of meeting midway to work out a solution. I didn’t cancel as I would’ve had to wait for a refund, and I couldn’t afford to have money in escrow like that. It seemed like she was desperate to just not want to host me, and wanted to get rid of me.

Makoto’s Guesthouse is an amazing place to stay for anyone looking to make friends and enjoy Tokyo to the fullest extent. Staff are incredible, and all amenities are as described.

Nothing! Everything was phenomal!

I absolutely loved it. I made plenty of new friends staying here.

Lack of space for suitcases and in common areas.

The location close to Tokyo and public transport but in a quiet area.

Stayed in January 2025

I unfortunately spent quite a lot of money getting to the centre everyday

Makoto was so lovely and always checked up on me! He would ensure I wasn’t cold over the winter months! Lovely, friendly people here

Stayed in November 2024

It can get a little cold during the winter days but there are plenty of cozy blankets provided.

I liked how it was laid back and relaxed vibes yet still clean and well taken cared for. Friendly and convenient grocery stores and shops near by.

Stayed in December 2024

Everything was comfortable and clean. It was my first time staying at a hostel and I booked this place as a last minute decision but it made my second trip to Japan so much more fun! Both the guests and staff were very friendly. I made many new friends here! For gymrats: there is a 500¥ gym at Tokyo Budokan 25 min walk from the house. Maybe you can make a gym buddy at the guesthouse like me! (shoutout Hana💪 )

If you are a disrespectful and annoying person who can’t follow society rules, please don’t show up.

Everything.

Stayed in December 2024

Some rules to follow, that kinda kill the mood sometimes (e.g. curfew at 11p.m.)

The people were amazing! Staff was very friendly! Beds are cozy and the facilities are clean :D
