This is a hostel. Honestly I would only stay in a hostel in Japan & nowhere else. Excellent value for money... spent the $400 saved on hotel style accommodations for meals & gifts.
It took me time to get my bearings at the hotel. Once I knew about everything it was very pleasant to stay in the lounge more than my bed for active at the hotel. The frig was special and unplanned by me. It was very central for my activities outside the hotel.
