This place is a very old traditional house. It’s really unique. I couldn’t fault it. Maybe the only thing I would say was it was a little hot in the room. But I guess this is Japanese summer. Our room was on top floor with high ceiling. So it couldn’t be helped. The price is excellent, it’s clean and traditional. What more could you want?

Nice traditional guesthouse
Very quirky and traditional but only one shower and not enough toilets for guests, also very small kitchen. Good location, a short walk from downtown and the subway.

Not recommend, poor staff attitude, strict policy
Good to talk to other guests in the hostel, a traditional Japanese-styled house. However, check out policy is strict and staffs are rude. You will be kicked out of the hostel right after 10am. Make sure you choose the right number of guests when booking on Expedia, otherwise they would charge extra even the same room for 1 person or 2 persons are having same price online.
