Makoto is a great host and took time to explain all the good spots of Kanazawa. The beds are confortable and the location is ideal, not far from the station and walking distance to all the good sites. Amazing !

A truly amazing hostel! The best kitchen we have ever had at a hostel (with free tea & coffee), extremely friendly and helpful staff, convenient and cheap laundry facilities, clean bathrooms and very cosy, comfortable dorm beds for couples (2 people). We highly recommend visiting the beautiful (and not too crowded) city of Kanazawa and staying at this hostel is a must!

The best place I have been in Japan so far. Clean, big, futon is amazing, localization is surreal, staff 5 stars. What a pleasure to stay in a 300 year house!

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

The location was the best thing about this hotel! For a capsule it was quite nice, the mattress was a lot more comfortable than expected and fairly spacious - the ceilings are pretty tall. Stayed in the women’s dormitory and felt very comfortable and safe, definitely worth the money if you just gonna stay for 1 or 2 nights.

Great location: 5 minutes from Kanazawa station! The hostel is on 3rd floor and there is no elevator, so it can be hard to carry a big suitcase. The common area is divided into common and female area. The common has bar hockers and female area is with normal chairs. Free coffee and tea. Beds are big, with a lot of space above, a wooden crate locker, space under bed for suitcases and a shelf above the bed for else. Towels are changed daily.

You get what you pay for. Cheap hostel. Location is good and bad depending on what you’re planning. If to stay near the train station: great, if you want to see the touristic places, it’s too far to walk all the time, too close to take the bus

Very centrally located, close to everything you need to see in Kanazawa and not too far from the train station by walking. The owner of the hostel is an awesome guy who speaks English very well! Will help you with anything you need even if it’s insights on life about his crazy stories of meeting people ( Ask him about the bus crash)
