How was your stay at the traditional Japanese house hostel in Tokyo?

Located in a spot full of the atmosphere of Tokyo's shitamachi, this hostel, with its retro appearance and functional facilities, offers a stay where you can experience Japanese culture. However, the true charm of the trip lies not within the building, but in the interaction with the locals.

Encountering the Flavors and Specialties of Tokyo

Breakfast is served at a popular, long-standing local restaurant in the area. You can start your journey by tasting the profound cuisine that attracts people from all over Tokyo. In the evening, the staff will guide you through the alleys of shitamachi where you can find hidden izakayas and restaurants, introducing you to special menus known only to visitors.

Experiencing the Local Culture

The hostel itself is a renovated traditional house with a retro atmosphere. In addition, you can participate in tours of shitamachi's history and culture led by the staff, as well as enjoy daily performances such as shamisen and rakugo. A valuable experience awaits, giving you a glimpse of Tokyo's soul.

Coexistence of Nostalgia and Novelty

While being located in front of the Skytree, the charm lies in the contrast between the cityscape that feels like a time slip, where historical sites and the latest trend spots are intertwined. You can start and enjoy this unique experience from the hostel. Let's fully enjoy Tokyo with all five senses and revel in the scent of culture.

The hotel is accessible to the station. Gratefully i got the room with a good view to see Tokyo Skytree! Also on the first floor there have a vending machine & laundry. Near the hotel there have a grocery store, that you van buy any fruits. The price is enough to have all the facility! You can self check-in on this hotel.

The name is misleading. This is a hostel not a hotel. There are only a few rooms with the "Skytree View" Pro: Wifi Cons: -No view of skytree tower as advertised. Only a very few room has it. Don't be tricked. -Most of the guests seem not very decent. Noisy and bad mannered. -No front desk staff. -No room service at all. -If you need new towels they will charge you an arm and a leg. -The size of the room is smaller than a prison cell. The room was literally 5 feet wide X 10 feet long. There are absolutely no room for your luggages. -The room was really dirty. Smell of strong body odor, mold, and sweat. - A/C and Filter unit were both filled with dust. Looks like it hasn't been cleaned for years. -Air was very dusty and moldy. It made me cough a lot throughout my stay. -The A/C settings were controlled by the staff. They shut off my A/C and it was extremely hot. -They had a power outage for one of the days. -Elevator was out for 2 of the days and I had to use the emergency stairs. -Lack of power outlets. -Lack of clothing hooks/hangers. -Many bathroom sinks were out of order throughout my entire stay (40 days). I would not be surprised if the sinks remains unfixed for the rest of the year. - The shared showers were extremely dirty. Some of the other guests were very unclean and inconsiderate and they left a mess in the shower. I had to deep clean the shower before using it everyday. - There were condoms, soiled underwears, bloodied tampons/pads and left over semen stains in the shared shower at times. -The restrooms were filthy and never cleaned. The workers only prepare the toilet papers. -The kitchen was extremely dirty and the staffs took away all the kitchen utensils which was very inconsiderate. Overall, I did not enjoy my stay here. I highly recommend not staying at this place. There are so many other better places. You won't get the minimum Japanese standard here. Rating: 0/5

I booked it from Airbnb. Here are my reviews. Pros: ✅The location is great, near Oshiage train station. So if you want to go to Haneda Airport, you just need to take one direct train cost ¥599! ✅The host response to the chat is quite fast and informative ✅You can ask the host to send your forgotten items to your address in Japan (in my case) with easy and speedy process. But you need to pay ¥1500 in order to be processed. Cons: ❌The check in is fully with tablet, so there is no one who will great and explain about the room to you. You need to scan your passport and take a photo of your face trough the tablet. ❌The room floor is not clean enough and doesn't covered with carpet, like usual hotel in Japan. ❌The bathroom shared area (in my case ladies bathroom) is not cleaned thoroughly so you will be likely spot stains, etc. ❌The microwave only in the first floor. Overall I enjoyed my stay but some parts need to be improved especially the cleanliness. Thank you!

Great little hotel located a short walking distance from Oshiage Stn exit B1. Entrance right beside a Thai restaurant. Ample shared facilities. Self check-in and check-out as no receptionist.

the hotel is located in the heart of the city, very close to TOKYO SKY TREE, fast-food restaurants, supermarket, and convi store. there is not any problem with the room, service, or anything else. the only little issue is just the check-in time which is at 4 PM (Tokyo's time). However, despite the check-in time, all is good. Really enjoyed the time spent in this hotel.
