Unfortunately the only good part of my stay was how comfortable the bed was, but it stops short after that. It's so extremely dirty that I barely wanted to touch anything in the place, the common areas are also extremely dirty so it's not an inviting place to relax.

도미토리 본인 칸에 캐리어를 펼칠 수 있을 만큼 공간이 있어서 좋았음. 콘센트 꽂는 곳도 2개임. 계단과 사다리를 오르내리는게 귀찮긴 했지만 화장실과 샤워실이 깨끗해서 좋았음. 세면대 물이 다른곳은 찬물만 나오는 곳도 있던데 여기는 뜨뜻미지근하게 나와서 손 안시려웠음. 청수사, 산넨자카와 걸어서 이동 가능해서 좋았음

I booked a girls dormitory stay but it would’ve been nice to know that the shower/bathroom is CO-ED. also there’s a weird medicine smell in the rooms? And towels aren’t provided, it is a 200 yen per rental. The hygiene is questionable… the thing I liked was that this stay was on the cheaper side. It’s in the middle of tourism so it’s very loud and busy.

Very nice. The kitchen is also available, making it suitable for long-term stays. The location is a bit inconvenient as it is outside the central area, but once you get used to it, it’s not a problem. There are no supermarkets nearby. A public bath is about a 10-minute walk away, so those who enjoy Japanese communal baths can experience a local atmosphere. I will use it again. There are many men and women from overseas. It is clean and feels safe.
