Sanae-san is the best host I've ever met! She really tried her best to make us all feel at home. During less than a week, she organized for us a takoyaki party, and served us delicious mochi for breakfast twice, making us experience Japanese New Year's cuisine and traditions. The guest house is perfectly clean and very comfortable. The bed is incredibly cozy and soft, and we had also extra blankets (that were never necessary, because the sleeping area was very warm already). The kitchen is very neat and functional, with everything to cook our own meals, and coffee and Japanese green tea provided by the house. The living area is the perfect spot to hang out with other guests or work. The position of the guest house too is perfect! Not far from Koenji station, it is near the main road, full of shops and delicious restaurants. I would recommend this place to anyone!

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.
