Very helpful host, comfortable beds and a great atmosphere. I felt safe leaving my stuff behind, but there are lockers as well for small valuables. Well worth it for a solo traveller like me :)

I didn’t stay, but it’s great for what it is. I just couldn’t stay because I’m very claustrophobic and I underestimated how claustrophobic I was. The host is really nice. It’s a wonderful place if that’s a fit for you if you’re claustrophobic don’t go there but if you’re not, it’s fine. It’s very good for what it is but I didn’t stay.

The owner lives at the place, he stays in one of the capsules, he treats it like his own personal apartment, with garbage all over the kitchen, no using the common area after 10pm, so forced to eat outside in the cold otherwise, very strict and weird rules, do not recommend, unless you enjoy the idea of living in some guys glorified apartment.

The staff is very rude.
There is only one shower to be shared by alll.
No proper desk for laptop or work.
The free breakfast is bread and jam. Nothing else.
One small table to be shared by all for meals and the light is broken.
This is the worst of the 3 accomodations that I have stayed for this Japan trip.

The pictures on the website are completely different from reality. The person at reception is really rude. They won't let you sit in the common area after midnight and have ridiculous rules like you have to lock the door every time you go out. A truly awful experience.

This was the best experience I've ever had . I was nervous about going to Tokyo but Tak made me feel right at home . I enjoyed our conversations, laughs , and good times. The bed was amazingly comfortable that I slept soundly. Thank you Tak for everything. I'm looking forward staying again . 😃

Tuk was an amazing host. I left an item there and he offered to ship it to my next hostel for free. He cares about his guests and will even help you with a map of where to go. The hostel beds were comfortable and rooms/ toilets were decently clean. It is also conveniently next to the train station.

The place was lovely if you’re looking for a quiet place to stay. The owner was amazing, our favourite person we met in Japan. Truly a kind and welcoming person who was fun to talk to and spend time with. Highly recommend if your on a budget.

The host ‘greeted’ me with a threat - that if I don’t follow his rules, he’ll get angry and if I don’t like it I can go immediately and he’ll say I was a no-show. I’ve never stayed somewhere with such an oppressive atmosphere all thanks to the owner. He’s like a petty flatmate who leaves notes everywhere about drops of water on the floor, and huffs and puffs if he spots any…There are much bigger issues with this place, such as a lot of rubbish piling up in the kitchen daily, his stuff piled in the dorm room and all over, as he actually stays there too, stuffy musty dorm room as windows never opened so no air, most of all, the way he speaks to & treats people is very poor. I heard from several guests and had experiences myself. He doesn’t allow people to sit on the furniture after midnight, I was made to eat my dinner in the dark alley outside at night when I was sat just outside of the hostel entrance, because he said it ‘annoys the neighbours’, one day I was looking for ice cubes and he said so rudely ‘don’t touch’, shushing guests…so many instances. Generally rude, unwelcoming & bad vibes, discourteous doesn’t begin to describe him. In a country full of polite, helpful people he stands out for all of the wrong reasons. There’s nothing to do in that area so the extra money you think you’ll save, gets used on transport anyway. It’s cheap for a reason because he feels it entitles him to behave badly. take my advice and stay somewhere you’ll feel welcome and comfortable!

Very cool hostel! Has a chic coffee shop and clothing shop downstairs, host was extremely nice and made sure that people were comfortable, right next to Keisei Takasago station for easy commute. I had a great time talking and hanging out with host and fellow hostelmates, will be coming back!

Amazing place, Tak is a very good. Just please be respectful and mindful! The place has really homey feel to which is great and since the lobby is just the living you get to talk with the other guest a lot. If you travel alone this is the spot

The hostel is run and maintained by the owner only. The guy is intresting to chat with. He is giving me atypical Japanese charateristics. The cleaness is well maintained, only the facility parts like the staircases are not for everybody, especially eho are with bulky items and have health issues like knee problems because this biilding does noy have lifts.

A lovely hostel in an old eastern part of Tokyo, where the charm of the old city blends nicely with the hustle and bustle of the modern city just a few stops away. Tak's (owner) place is situated about a 7 minute walk from Keisei Takasago station, which will be your central point to all the other major stations. Once you get to Nippori station, then you're good to go mostly everywhere.
Now the hostel itself is an old style Japanese home that has been turned into one, with nice beds and the usual hostel amenities (i.e. shared washroom, shower, kitchen etc.). Tak's got style, and you see it shine through the place. The man himself is a genuinely fun person, and he'll more than likely show you around the area if he's free, while giving you solid tips. He took my buddy and I, along with 2 others to try out the local izakaya and food shops. If you're looking for a unique sleeping place with a great owner to drop your bags off while you travel around Tokyo, then Yawp is right for you!
P.s. to Tak - once I become a famous author, feel free to sell the signed runners I left if you havent donated them already lol

This backpackers has a strong community feeling thanks to Takuro, who knows how to host and connect guests very well. He even cooked dinner for us one night! Although the accommodation is out of the city centre, it is very close to a train station so getting around was still fairly easy. Thanks for the stay Tak :)
