Good location, just one block away, one street at most, from Ōkubo Station. A good place to spend less in Tokyo if you don’t want to stay in Shibuya or Shinjuku, and still want to be close by train it’s a good option

It was very clean, silent and well-equiped. They had hair dryer, straightener, coin laundry, luggage storage. The neighborhood was very lovely and safe. Different floors for female, male and mixed capsules. The capsules were big enough, the bathroom was clean. Had zero issues during my stay.

Great location, about a 20 minute walk from Sensoji and Asakusa. A little off the beaten path so be prepared to walk a little to get to different locations around Tokyo. We loved how quiet it was, it was a great break from the Tokyo crowds. Beds were very comfortable, not too many people in the rooms. There is a bath available in addition to the showers in the female dorms, we did not use it but it looked great! We loved the bike rentals, at 100 yen an hour they were super affordable and a great way to bike around and see the city! We wish we had stayed longer just to be able to bike around more (make sure you ask where bike parking is where you intend to go if you do not already know). Breakfast was super tasty. Overall 100% recommended for price and experience.

It’s a true Japanese stay. Shoes off, manners (quiet in the bedroom), etc. please be mindful of that and you will see why Japanese culture feels good — the consideration of others comes first. You give and receive it. They are SUPER clean here. I saw daily cleaning: vacuuming, bathroom, shower, etc. They work very hard. Thank you so much.

The property had a very nice and inviting atmosphere at the lobby level and the rooms were clean and orderly. I like how each capsule is pretty spacious and good enough for 1 person. I was able to make new friends in the lobby each night as we shared about our day and just chilled while we talked about Japanese culture.

Lovely little hostel in Asakusa. 5-10 minute walk from many different stations so very convenient! The room is quite small so pack light as it will be hard to open big suitcases. Other than that though, the hostel had everything we needed. The staff were so welcoming and lovely as well. Very good value.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    The hostel is in a great location in Shinjuku. It is close to the Golden Gai area if you plan on going out at night. The beds were comfortable with a curtain. Under the bunk beds, there is an area/locker for each person to store their belongings. The room has AC. The bathrooms were clean and the showers are hot. The staff were helpful and friendly. I would stay here again.

    Everything, I have lived in hostels of several other countries but this was the best hostel. It’s cheap, near to attractions, bus stops nearby, trains to airport and Ginza line were about 10-minute walk. Even after checking out you could leave your luggage for few hours and use the first floor facilities.

    Friendly staff, welcoming inclusive atmospheres, Great location (5 min away from Sensoji temple, a bit far from the station, about 10min. But the scenery of the area is so unique and I enjoyed walking. I felt safe to walk back to the hostel from the station midnight by myself, and the local people there are really kind). I stayed in a dormitory room, everyone was kind and thoughtful ( quiet at night). Stayed there for 4 nights and I had a good time there! I also liked the electric piano at the entrance.
