Surrounding is a quiet residential area with a big park. There are two supermarkets nearby (Fresco and アイハート). So its very easy to grab some late night snacks. Walk 10mins to the Saiin hankyu station or 15mins to Saiin Ranken station. Location is fine :))
They didnt tell me the door password in advance and there was no staff when i arrive. I just text them with line to ask for the checkin method in front of their door and it was raining so hard :( it wasnt a good beginning. And we found a small spider in bed.. But luckily the host (host’s father) was very nice! He invited us and some French guests to make Takoyaki together. It was so fun :D
Overall, the hostel is good :)
Katsuhiko-San make us feel at home in his beautiful house. It was an unique experience living in an authentic japanese home for some days.
It made us appreciate and get closer to Japan's way of life in every way possible.
The Takoyako party was an awesome detail too and we had fun with it.
I'll recommend it to couples coming for Japan for the first time!
