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 :)

Tak is very cool, he will explain a lot of things and share experience with you if he has visited your country!
The beds and toilets are fine for the price. Beds very confortable.
The only thing its not very clean! The toilet and room smells a little bit.
But we had a very good stay.

Place definitely needs some cleaning and organization. The host is kind, however I would like to highlight that I struggled with communication. A small example: while I was organizing some coins on the counter, the host came up and grabbed my money, then attempting to give me other coins in exchange... this was super random and action done without any verbal communication. I had to stop him and reverse the exchange I never asked for.
If you have any issues with hoarding behaviours or a lack of cleanliness, I would skip over this place. Otherwise, decent location, close to a train station and quiet.

El dueño súper accesible, la cama es cómoda, la ducha y el toilet estaban limpios.
Sin embargo, en el área compartida había objetos arrumbados y algunos sectores llenos de polvo.
La cocina es muy chiquita y durante unos días estuvo la basura allí.

Our host Tak truly made the stay memorable. He genuinely enjoys running a hostel and is happy to help with finding local gems and organizing outings with other guests. From kareoke to movie nights to the best local ramen shop Tak is your guy.
The hostel is also right next to an amazing little bento shop, near both a 711 and family mart, coffee down stairs, and a five minute walk from a great train station.

In my opinión, this is not a hostel. This is the owners apartment with a bunch of strict rules that makes staying uncomfortable and awkward. Everyone has to follow the rules or he gets angry (because he is behind you 24/7). A hostel is not Just a place to sleep, its also a cool social space where people want to relax while they can meet other backpackers, but that was not how this was. Most of the travellers are adults and they dont want a strict mom behind them telling us not to spill a drop of water in the kitchen or bathroom.
My suggestion: bro just chill out, get a volunteer to clean sometimes and focus more in Hospitality and make everyone have a good environment and enjoy their stay. You make people feel ALOT of anxiety.
I would recommend paying more somewhere else to be able to breathe. It was unnecessary stress on our trip we would have rather avoided.

The place was usually much hotter than outside, we got threatened to get kicked out for using a rice cooker [owner had told us we could use everything in the kitchen to cook], owner kept making up rules as we were staying like not being in the lounge past midnight, youre about 50 mins from anything worth seeing in tokyo

The owner tak will make you feel at home. The town is quite and away from the hustle of Tokyo, but very close to transit. You can’t go wrong with staying here.
