El dueño súper accesible, la cama es cómoda, la ducha y el toilet estaban limpios. Sin embargo, en el área compartida había objetos arrumbados y algunos sectores llenos de polvo. La cocina es muy chiquita y durante unos días estuvo la basura allí.

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.

Honest opinion...
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.
