booked this place because i wanted to get away from the city and chill. really a typically japanese residence, the building itself is not that new but you can tell that it is really well taken care of because of how clean it was. i shared a room with another guest but the layout of the room and curtains ensured privacy. the bed was so comfortable i slept so well for 2 nights. the owners was really nice and friendly, and the ramen place they run (its near their house) served really good food!

The host is really friendly. The room was spacious and had everything I needed. Is important to note that it is a room in someone home, but it is on the top floor. The entire top floor has been converted into a guest floor with a few rooms, bathroom, kitchen, living room. If you picture a hostel you'll have a great idea what to expect.

“Truly resourcing”

Very comfortable and cosy guest house, calm, in a residential area but very close to market to shop for meal, a very convenient kitchen and comfortable bed with a curtain separation in the room, a nice view on the city and the bridge 🌉. I felt very good staying in this place, it was a perfect place for me to rest and enjoy walking around `

The hostess was extremely kind and the room was very comfortable. It is Japanese style with tatami mats. The hostel also has a shared kitchen and fridge. It was a lovely stay and I hope to visit again. The hostel is not in the downtown area, but is only a short walk and train ride away.

“Comfortable and quiet”

Mai is one of the most supportive host I've met. The rooms were so comfortable and clean. I'd definetly come back the next time.

Everything was perfect. The kitchen is well equipped. The common area and the room are very pleasant! My sister and I had our own room with two beds. We shared the bathroom with 2 other women, which was no problem at all! We will definitely recommend this accommodation to others. There is very pleasant air conditioning in the room and the view from the room is a dream!!!

“Charms of everyday Japanese life”

This was a real Japanese residential area with all it quirks and charms. The owner was super nice and helpful. And on the bed, the owner left a soft toy to cuddle with, which was very comfortable to sleep with. And it was super close to the station.

“Perfect”

I loved the location! Tobata is such a nice neigbourhood. Not touristy at all, you get a real insight into japnese life. Especially with the hosts and the facitilties. The family was sooo nice and help with everything immediately. The hospitality was exeptional!!!

The host was very welcoming and nice. The house was designed in traditional Japanese style.

We had the best time here! The flat belongs to an incredibly lovely, open and helpful family. They taught us a lot about Japanese culture and showed us different things in the city. Thanks to the family, we learned the most about this beautiful country during our 2-month trip through Japan. We had very interesting conversations and would come back again in a heartbeat! The flat itself is also great. It is furnished in traditional Japanese style and has everything you need. The kitchen is very big and is also great for cooking something yourself. Thank you so much for the wonderful time, we miss you!
