This was the best experience I've ever had . I was nervous about going to Tokyo but Tak made me feel right at home . I enjoyed our conversations, laughs , and good times. The bed was amazingly comfortable that I slept soundly. Thank you Tak for everything. I'm looking forward staying again . 😃 ##### Rick Stayed 16 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Aguilar Jimenez Jan 31, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Amazing place, Tak is a very good. Just please be respectful and mindful! The place has really homey feel to which is great and since the lobby is just the living you get to talk with the other guest a lot. If you travel alone this is the spot ##### Aguilar Jimenez Stayed 7 nights in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### samuel Feb 25, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Great convenient area although a little secluded from all the big tourist attractions but with it's own attractions. ##### samuel Stayed 17 nights in Feb 2024 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Abelardo Apr 9, 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities This was by far the worst place I’ve ever stayed at. The place was dirty and neglected, nothing like the photos, which must have been taken years ago — it’s clearly not maintained anymore. Everything was dusty and unclean. On top of that, the host was extremely strict and got upset over the slightest noise, making the stay uncomfortable and stressful. I absolutely do not recommend this place to anyone. ##### Abelardo Stayed 4 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Henzel Jul 30, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Tak was very hospitable! Def would recommend it to people who are looking to save money, as well as potentially meet new people. ##### Henzel Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2023 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Narsha Apr 23, 2025 Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities The host ‘greeted’ me with a threat - that if I don’t follow his rules, he’ll get angry and if I don’t like it I can go immediately and he’ll say I was a no-show. I’ve never stayed somewhere with such an oppressive atmosphere all thanks to the owner. He’s like a petty flatmate who leaves notes everywhere about drops of water on the floor, and huffs and puffs if he spots any…There are much bigger issues with this place, such as a lot of rubbish piling up in the kitchen daily, his stuff piled in the dorm room and all over, as he actually stays there too, stuffy musty dorm room as windows never opened so no air, most of all, the way he speaks to & treats people is very poor. I heard from several guests and had experiences myself. He doesn’t allow people to sit on the furniture after midnight, I was made to eat my dinner in the dark alley outside at night when I was sat just outside of the hostel entrance, because he said it ‘annoys the neighbours’, one day I was looking for ice cubes and he said so rudely ‘don’t touch’, shushing guests…so many instances. Generally rude, unwelcoming & bad vibes, discourteous doesn’t begin to describe him. In a country full of polite, helpful people he stands out for all of the wrong reasons. There’s nothing to do in that area so the extra money you think you’ll save, gets used on transport anyway. It’s cheap for a reason because he feels it entitles him to behave badly. take my advice and stay somewhere you’ll feel welcome and comfortable! ##### Narsha Stayed 7 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Toby Nov 1, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Very helpful host, comfortable beds and a great atmosphere. I felt safe leaving my stuff behind, but there are lockers as well for small valuables. Well worth it for a solo traveller like me :) ##### Toby Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lawrence Oct 31, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities I didn’t stay, but it’s great for what it is. I just couldn’t stay because I’m very claustrophobic and I underestimated how claustrophobic I was. The host is really nice. It’s a wonderful place if that’s a fit for you if you’re claustrophobic don’t go there but if you’re not, it’s fine. It’s very good for what it is but I didn’t stay. ##### Lawrence Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### higeji Oct 13, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities リビングルームでの国際的なお客さんとの交流が本当に楽しかったです。ホストさんとも夜毎色んな話ができました。出入り自由のそれぞれのリズムに合わせた生活ができることも魅力のひとつです。僕はたっぷりと楽しむ事ができました。 ##### higeji Stayed 4 nights in Oct 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Collin Oct 3, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Great for backpacking ##### Collin Stayed 5 nights in Sep 2025 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Burak Sep 26, 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The pictures on the website are completely different from reality. The person at reception is really rude. They won't let you sit in the common area after midnight and have ridiculous rules like you have to lock the door every time you go out. A truly awful experience. ##### Burak Stayed 5 nights in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ellie May 26, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Loved my stay Tuk was an amazing host. I left an item there and he offered to ship it to my next hostel for free. He cares about his guests and will even help you with a map of where to go. The hostel beds were comfortable and rooms/ toilets were decently clean. It is also conveniently next to the train station. ##### Ellie Stayed 3 nights in May 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Hudson May 21, 2025 Liked: Staff & service, amenities The place was lovely if you’re looking for a quiet place to stay. The owner was amazing, our favourite person we met in Japan. Truly a kind and welcoming person who was fun to talk to and spend time with. Highly recommend if your on a budget. ##### Hudson Stayed 7 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jan Alexie May 7, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Great host, clean, and we'll organized. ##### Jan Alexie Stayed 6 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### John Feb 21, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Very cool hostel! Has a chic coffee shop and clothing shop downstairs, host was extremely nice and made sure that people were comfortable, right next to Keisei Takasago station for easy commute. I had a great time talking and hanging out with host and fellow hostelmates, will be coming back! ##### John Stayed 4 nights in Feb 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### SEJIN Feb 11, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Guests may feel uncomfortable because it is a space where they live with a host. Most of the guests who rated the accommodation low seem to be true. Accommodation rules must be notified before arrival and a notice must be posted inside the accommodation. If the host explains verbally one by one after another after a guest arrives, they may be misunderstood or inconvenienced. It should not be forgotten that it is also the host's duty to make guests feel at ease. Accommodation facilities and services are about 6 out of 10 points, but I want to give him 8 points in the sense of doing well in the future. ##### SEJIN Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Max Jan 13, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The hostel is run and maintained by the owner only. The guy is intresting to chat with. He is giving me atypical Japanese charateristics. The cleaness is well maintained, only the facility parts like the staircases are not for everybody, especially eho are with bulky items and have health issues like knee problems because this biilding does noy have lifts. ##### Max Stayed 3 nights in Jan 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### IBrahim Dec 26, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities #### Happy thank you for the service.will be back ##### IBrahim Stayed 8 nights in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Dhruba Dec 18, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities A lovely hostel in an old eastern part of Tokyo, where the charm of the old city blends nicely with the hustle and bustle of the modern city just a few stops away. Tak's (owner) place is situated about a 7 minute walk from Keisei Takasago station, which will be your central point to all the other major stations. Once you get to Nippori station, then you're good to go mostly everywhere. Now the hostel itself is an old style Japanese home that has been turned into one, with nice beds and the usual hostel amenities (i.e. shared washroom, shower, kitchen etc.). Tak's got style, and you see it shine through the place. The man himself is a genuinely fun person, and he'll more than likely show you around the area if he's free, while giving you solid tips. He took my buddy and I, along with 2 others to try out the local izakaya and food shops. If you're looking for a unique sleeping place with a great owner to drop your bags off while you travel around Tokyo, then Yawp is right for you! P.s. to Tak - once I become a famous author, feel free to sell the signed runners I left if you havent donated them already lol ##### Dhruba Stayed 4 nights in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jerome Nov 2, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities This backpackers has a strong community feeling thanks to Takuro, who knows how to host and connect guests very well. He even cooked dinner for us one night! Although the accommodation is out of the city centre, it is very close to a train station so getting around was still fairly easy. Thanks for the stay Tak :) ##### Jerome Stayed 4 nights in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Bertrand Oct 27, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities I loved this place!
