"At that time, I chose this place because I needed to find a place to temporarily transition for one night. To be honest, I regretted it a little after the overall experience.
First of all, every staff member I met here was really good, friendly and helpful, and helped me a lot. The decoration style of the accommodation itself is also very literary. It is a small bar downstairs. The staff are basically foreigners. It feels like a sentimental shop opened by like-minded Europeans and Americans in Japan.
But to be honest, it is not so suitable for accommodation. It is quite remote here. Although it is close to the station, the roads are all small roads, and you even need to go through the vegetable market. It feels quite good during the day, but I came here at night, and it was really scary on the road.
There is no elevator, the stairs are very narrow, and it is difficult to carry a lot of luggage. But fortunately, I only made do for one night, so I threw it directly on the first floor.
But the hygiene is OK, this is compared with similar accommodations in South Korea 😂 Japan is still much cleaner"
