Review as an English foreigner. I thoroughly enjoyed my time here. I arrived in the evening and the staff was not there and would not respond to my messages. Thankfully, a group of older Japanese men were there and helped me get in, choose a bed and get set up for the night. They were great and led to a great Hostel culture. Comfy bed and clean. I would recommend, but make sure you check in early or I doubt the hostel owner will be of much help, unfortunately. Though I may have just been unlucky.
Very relaxing, clean, quiet. Close to castle ruins and historic alleys. You can buy foods and gloceries at a konbini store 24h or a supermarket both just one minute walk!
the place was well organized and kept clean in general. stayed only for one night but the location was also very convenient with supermarket right across the street, and convenience store, restaurants and bars and main tourist sites all in walkable distances
