It's a really well designed Hostel with very nice, cosy feeling, very clean, very new facilities, in a pleasant area and we really appreciated the staff and owner who were so nice to us - even inviting us to a New Year Party! We extended our stay an extra two days after arriving because it was a great spot for us to make day trips to Nara and Kyoto too! We'll come back. It was perfect for the father son trip we made around Japan.
