i found it awesome. I have to say that is not suitable for those who like hostels that look the same regardless of the country. Here there are many long staying guests, which tell a lot about the cool vibes and the cozzy atmosphere. do not expect corridors with many door and room numbers neither tidy dorms that look like...

We only came here because we moved from their hostel in Kyoto (which i only thought was bad because we stayed in the basement room) The living area in this hostel was very gloomy even though they got a 'best atmosphere award', it smelled weird and was not the friendliest of places.

This was my first hostel that i booked when i arrived in Osaka and im glad i made this choice. It is not the easiest place to find as the instructions on how to get there are quite poor but i guess that kind of added to the fun of trying to find it whilst carrying numerous bags! Once i... More

The owner, Yumiko-san, is very friendly and happy to assist in your travels. I thoroughly enjoyed my time at this hostel. However, it's very different from larger hostels, and in a completely different class from a typical hotel. It's a traditional Japanese-style house, an old building which was remodeled by 150 of Yumi's friends. The space is small, but very... More
