We’re located five minutes from Kyoto station (433m, 1/4ml.). This location is ideally convenient but is quiet because we’re set one street off the main street. Everything you need, such as convenience stores, grocery stores, banks, foreign exchange, the post office, bars, restaurants and karaoke places are nearby.

Our hostel was opened in April 2010 with the aim of making your stay as cosy as possible.

Our deluxe dorm is equipped with a quite large-sized loft bed. Guests sleeping on the top use the loft and unlike ordinary bunk beds, you can keep your luggage up on the top. Taking the bottom, you sleep in an independent single bed under the loft. Each bed has a personal bed light, plug outlet and curtain. You can surf on your bed by Wi-Fi.

Almost all of our private rooms remain traditional Japanese-style with tatami mats and sets of futon bedding. Also, many of them include an independent bathroom and toilet. We have various private rooms such as twin/double/triple en-suite and twin/triple/quad shared bathroom.

We have tons of free services, such as Wi-Fi, two computers for guests, English maps of Kyoto, English maps of bus routes, coffee, English tea, green tea, seasonings, luggage storage, washing powder, shampoo, body soap and smiles. : )

Facilities include a washing machine (200yen), dryer (100yen/15 minutes), photocopy and print service and local and international calls.

Our bicycle rental (500 yen) is the perfect way to get around and see the quieter, older parts of Kyoto. You can also rent towels (30yen/70yen) and buy one-day bus passes (500yen), a padlock (150yen), unique Kyoto postcards (100yen), DVD, CDs and electricity adaptors.

Did you know we have a discount and coupon service? We’ll give you a stamp for each night at any J-Hoppers Hostels (Kyoto, Osaka, Hiroshima and Hida Takayama) or Hana Hostels (Hiroshima and Kyoto). You will get a discount or a special coupon on every fourth night.

We are happy to store your luggage in the luggage room before check-in and after check-out. Longer-term luggage storage is available for returning guests.

Please understand that you are fully responsible for all of your personal belongings and we hold no responsibility for any items lost, damaged or stolen whilst on this property.

Since it is easy to access JR Kyoto station from here, you can save time and easily make day trips out of Kyoto to Osaka, Nara and the surrounding areas. In our neighbourhood, you’ll find Lawson convenience store, a supermarket, post office and central post office (with international ATM), several restaurants and car parking, all less than five minutes’ walk away.

We can provide information on Hiroshima, Osaka and Takayama as well since we’re a part of a chain of hostels!
