The beds where so comfortable, and the placement is so easy just off the station is great for day trips, and the art work all around the place is just amazing and got a laugh out of me, 10/10 place.

Perfect size space, I could stand up (181cm). Very welcoming staff, lovely cats and modern facilities. Across the road from Kansui park, and only a short walk from Toyama station.

One of the best hostels in japan for me. The staff was friendly and helpful, always making sure I was alright. They also provided a bag of hot water for me and other guests to keep warm. The hostel has everything and i loved their Murakami collection in different languages in the library. The bunk bed is huge and had a safety box to keep valaluable. The design is lovely too.

“Highly recommended”
The couple of owners was super friendly and had many good recommendation; There were plenty of entertainment options (books in many languages, mangas, animes....), and the cats were friendly too. The soap and shampoo were high quality too, and the place was super clean. Also, the booths were BIG. Like you can stand in it if you're under 180. And they had a safe. Finally, the bed was very warm and cozy and I could sleep just like if it were home.

“Exactly what I needed at this point in my trip of 4 weeks in Japan.”
Seriously, the couple who own / manage the hostel were wonderfully helpful warm and friendly. For a non-Japanese speaker, they assisted me in navigating to numerous sites I wished to see and experience, making choices always available❗️

Good location, just straight up the road from the North Exit of Toyama Stn. Not difficult to find, unlike what the hosts said, once you know what the entrance is like to look out for (see pics attached). The 4-bed pte dorm is of a good size and comfortable. Amenities are good, adequate and clean.

I loved the well designed nature of the hostel. Very convenient location, inviting interior & staff. I ranked it as an excellent experience as the staff did that little extra hospitality. Staff spoke English and made my stay welcoming and stress free! Would definitely stay again.

The library full of Murakami Haruki novels in various languages was quite impressive. If you are a fan and staying in Toyama, I would recommend staying here for a unique experience. It is also close to Toyama station, didn't feel crowded, staff were very friendly and it was clean.
