Makoto and older lady were welcoming and helpful (where to eat, to shop), rules were clear, beds quiet and comfortable. Guests are friendly and create great atmosphere.

There were some annoying rules in the guesthouse, such as check out until 10:30 hrs (you are asked to leave the guesthouse at 13:00 hrs), so if you have your flight in the afternoon, you have to take your bags with you (there are lockers in the train station). Check in is from 16:00 - 21:00 hrs, so if you are not sure you can make it, its better to book some other place, the Japanese culture is very strict about the rules. Also, there are no showers allowed between 11:00 - 16:00 hrs, thats kind of annoying considering there is only one bathroom for men and one for women, and if you go and do some sports, you will probably need to find some onsen.

The place was clean, excellent common areas that make it easy to meet new people, the location is quiet even though a bit far away from the city center, and Makoto was fun.

Loved the location, and the staff was excellent. Talking late into the night with other guests downstairs was a great way to socialise and share tips on where to visit.

Makoto was very welcoming and friendly. He has created a great hostel that feels like a family. Highly recommend it for solo travellers. He even organised a small celebration for my bday. Everything is very clean and it’s easy to get the metro to any spot.

The size of the pillows could be improved a bit. Although the guesthouse provides better pillows for free, you have to ask this during business hours. Also, to maintain the silence inside the guesthouse, if you need to make a call, you have to step out of the guesthouse near the vending machines (a few meters away)

This place is perfect if you wish to socialize with fellow travelers! Very clean place, ample connectivity options, as well as spacious sleeping quarters. Just bring an extra extension cable, as power connections tend to get filled up fast, due to the number of people connecting their laptops to the place. I can't recommend this place enough! Access to the train station is also reasonable and is a 15-minute walk from the guesthouse to Kameari station. Also, if your birthday falls during your stay, the host will celebrate it by setting up a small dinner for you! :D Very personal touch to a very wonderful experience!

Everything was great

First time in a guesthouse and it was an amazing experience. Everything is clean, the beds are confortable and you have privacy. Really easy to meet other travelers, and the owner Makoto-san is here to share good moments with everyone

Quiet neighborhood. Supermarket nearby.

It’s a bit outside the main city center, but it’s a pretty easy to commute in. Some light inside the bunks would have been nice, but didn’t spend much time there anyway, so didn’t need it too much. If you need to make personal calls, there’s not really any space to do that. Space for luggage is limited, so bare that in mind if traveling heavy.

If you’re a social person and want to make friends while staying in Tokyo, this is the spot. I’m so happy I chose to stay here. Makoto-san (along with his staff) was a wonderful host, kind, friendly, and helpful. He organized a lot of fun social gatherings, and created a very welcoming social environment. The guesthouse is kept clean, and everyone is respectful about helping keep it that was.

Far east from Tokyo centre cities

Good friendly environment, super markets and transport close

Everything, thank you so much Makoto it was really nice to stay at your place, stay as you are and good luck for the next :)

Makoto can be very strict about the check-in time. Glad I'm not late. If you're not the talkative type, you might feel alienated and end up observing everyone else talking to each other.

You'll be able to experience a japanese housing neighbourhood outside of the bustling city. Host was very nice and ensure that the environment is comfortable for everyone. Host was able to converse english well and has a sense of humor. The ground floor is a good place for chat with other guests. Suitable for extroverts.

I didn’t mind anything about the property but for some people it might be too far.

Makoto is really nice and helpful. The hostel is very clean, staff are very polite and friendly. And just good vibes in the hostel, no complaints.

I extended my stay (see original review).

No shower between 11 am and 4 pm. No water dispenser. Make sure to ask for a second blanket early enough if it's a bit cold in the room. The blankets are very thin. Air in the room was a bit dry. Bed curtains are see-through. Place is quite far from the city center, but public transport is good. Tip: Go to Ayase Station and get 24-hrs-metro ticket for ¥600.

This place is undoubtly exceptional because it is one the few places in Japan that are truly social. If you enjoy being by yourself, not being bothered by others while heading out everyday alone for sightseeing, then you're well-off in one of the numerous capsule hotels that are spread around the country. For almost everyone else, this place is going change your entire traveling experience in Japan for the better. You will meet with fellow travelers that share their experiences with you and you will have a place that feels like home. There were numerous times when the owner Makoto was throwing generous parties for all the guests. He generally makes sure that people have a good time and get along. You will make friends here and get advice (you'll need it in this country). The area is a bit far from the city center but it's a nice, quiet and extremely cheap neighborhood. You can get food from very affordable supermarkets like Big-A, shops like Kitayama, or restaurants and Izakayas around. Great value for the money. Coming back also means taking a break from the hustle and bustle of the city center. If I'm coming back to Tokyo, I'll make sure to be here again. The place is quite tidy as it is cleaned thoroughly everyday.

You can figure it out.

Amazing people surrounded.

Had a great time and met great people! Makoto is awesome! Looking forward to my next visit.

Just a small detail but I would recommend to exchange the see-through curtains on the bunk beds with real curtains for more privacy while sleeping

It was great - the atmosphere was very open and it was easy to meet other travelers. Internet was fast and in close proximity to the hostel is an affordable supermarket. The host was also very friendly and you could easily approach him - he will help :)

Would recommend to anyone, host was extremely friendly in a perfectly clean and accommodating guesthouse! Met some amazing people and felt part of a community, best place we have stayed in Japan!

Everything was great, met amazing people, it was all clean and comfortable, affordable and easy to go downtown and experience the quiet life of a nice neighborhood in Tokyo. Makoto was so generous and always ready to help. Would recommend, will come back next trip 👍!!

Nice facilities that help create a social and comfortable environment, with a extremely nice host that add a lot to the good vibes. The dormitories are far enough from the main living room that you won’t hear the peoples that stay up late to talk ;) It is a liter bit far from the center, but the area is really nice and Tokyo’s transportation system is so good that is really isn’t a issue. And all this at a very affordable price

Amazing place to stay in Tokyo! Comfortable, clean, and Makoto-san is an amazing host.

What an incredible stay 💕 Makoto up front welcomed us very kindly and served us some welcome Sake! The environment is very friendly and great for mingling with other guests. It has a very homey and warm feel. It’s not much in the center but we actually liked having a bit of the that quiet suburban feel. Everything you need is close by and the facilities were very confortable and clean! We absolutely loved our stay and would definitely come back! Thank you Makoto for everything and enjoy the 50th review party tonight! You deserved it 👏🥰🙏.
