Decent hostel with wellbehaved people, but very warm room and hot comforter. We turned the AC off and opened the window (towards the train tracks) instead. Nice that a small bowl of udon is included as breakfast. Location okay if you plan to visit Ritsurin garden. Other than that, pretty off (local trains and buses stop nearby).

Very cute rooms, the beds were private and spacious, bedding was very warm and comfortable (slept amazingly). I didn't get back in time for dinner but the udon for breakfast on the first morning was fantastic and I was serenaded by a lovely man playing Ghibli music and the beatles on a ukulele as I ate my cheesy bread on the second morning. Also, the free iced green tea was delicious. There were lots of helpful pamphlets in many languages about what to do and where to go, and the staff were helpful with recommendations and very kind and efficient in general. Lovely feel to the place and recommend!

Absolutely fantastic stay, and I love how this was an age-friendly location where both families and mature/young travellers can convene together. The rooms are spacious enough and if your roommates are courteous, you'll find ways to pack unpack etc without issue. Be strategic and considerate about the bathrooms and you shouldn't have to wait long before you find yourself a shower room. What blew me away was the breakfast though. At this price having free breakfast is already a steal, but the breakfast wasn't shabby at all. The owner is a chef who clearly took pride in what he does and the breakfast I had over the 3 nights was just plain marvelous. This place is also walking distance to Ritsurin garden and there are buses right next door to head back to the station or to the airport. Parking was incredibly cheap at 500 yen a night. What a steal. I'll definitely come back if I visit the city again.

위치는 가와라마치역에서도 도보로 가까워 접근성이 좋았고, 조용한 주택가에 자리 잡고 있어 한적하게 쉬기 좋았습니다. 🌿 객실(다다미방 4인실) 넓고 깔끔한 다다미 객실로, 전통 일본식 분위기를 느낄 수 있었어요. 침구도 깨끗하게 준비되어 있고, 조용해서 숙면하기 좋았습니다. 새벽 5시 이후부터 열차가 다녀서 시끄러운데 귀마개 있어요! 저희는 룸안에 화장실과 욕실이 있었고, 4인이였지만 1층에 공용 욕실과 화장실도 정돈되어 있어 불편함 없었어요. 저녁엔 2000엔으로 일본 가정식을, 1000엔으로 90분 무제한 주류를 즐길 수 있는 공간이 있어서 가성비가 정말 좋아요. 다음에 다카마쓰를 방문한다면 또 묵고 싶은 숙소예요. 전통과 감성, 가성비까지 모두 갖춘 편안한 공간이었습니다!
