The owner lives at the place, he stays in one of the capsules, he treats it like his own personal apartment, with garbage all over the kitchen, no using the common area after 10pm, so forced to eat outside in the cold otherwise, very strict and weird rules, do not recommend, unless you enjoy the idea of living in some guys glorified apartment.

The best hostel experience I've had! The capsule style beds seemed intimidating at first but turned out to be very cozy, the sheets were changed once a week so the beds kept clean even on a longer stay. The owner, Tak is nice and a good dude to talk to, even took us out to eat at small local places which was very cool of him. Will defenetly stay here again if I'm ever in Tokyo and can't recommend it enough for a good budget stay!

I didn’t stay, but it’s great for what it is. I just couldn’t stay because I’m very claustrophobic and I underestimated how claustrophobic I was. The host is really nice. It’s a wonderful place if that’s a fit for you if you’re claustrophobic don’t go there but if you’re not, it’s fine. It’s very good for what it is but I didn’t stay.

Loved my stay

Tuk was an amazing host. I left an item there and he offered to ship it to my next hostel for free. He cares about his guests and will even help you with a map of where to go. The hostel beds were comfortable and rooms/ toilets were decently clean. It is also conveniently next to the train station.

The staff is very rude. There is only one shower to be shared by alll. No proper desk for laptop or work. The free breakfast is bread and jam. Nothing else. One small table to be shared by all for meals and the light is broken. This is the worst of the 3 accomodations that I have stayed for this Japan trip.
