Now Travel Shinosaka

The hostel is located about 10 minutes from the metro station. I slept in a traditional Japanese room. The room was spacious, and the mattresses comfortable. The house is also in Japanese style. The bathroom and toilet were clean. The kitchen seemed to be well-equipped, although I did not use it. I talked with the owner only when checking in. In the vicinity of the hostel large grocery stores and post office.

The hostel has extremely thin walls (even for a traditional Japanese house - I also slept in another similar house, so I can compare it). You can hear every little whisper. For the use of towels you have to pay extra, and the bathroom could use refurbishment. There are a lot of rules in the hostel, which do not interfere in principle, but they are overwhelming (especially that some involve the obligation to pay a penalty).

Beds were very comfy. Host spoke great English. Kitchen looked well equipped (we didn't end up using). Great wifi.

There was only 1 toilet and shower for the whole building. Probably room for 10 guests or so. Also the toilet was on the 2nd floor, which we were lucky enough to be on but annoying if you were down the bottom floor. Host turned off our heater in room during the day so when we got back, our room was freezing cold (it was a 4° day).
