Very clean place with a comfortable common room. The owner and his wife made me some coffee in the morning, which was a nice gesture. I had some problems with the top bed, as it was hard for me to keep my things from falling off, and the curtain wasn't covering enough. Nonetheless, I had a good stay. Too bad the luggage storing after check out cost 300 yen, in other hostels it's usually free. Oh, well :)
