The hotel is clean, the staff is very nice and friendly. The location is very convenient for exploring this area of Kyoto (for starters, Arashiyama Bamboo Forest 嵐山竹林の小径 and Daikaku-ji Temple 大覚寺)

Although the facilities are average, the service provided by the proprietress is still good! You can also meet a lot of new friends!

The proprietress may not be there when you check in, so you will need to drive over to check in and explain the surrounding facilities in detail, which may be a bit complicated. I lived with a Kyoto native and a German. I had no idea why people from Kyoto were staying in a youth hostel, and I didn't dare ask. The room is very small, the bed frame is similar to that of a high school dormitory, it makes noises when moved, the upper and lower bunks affect each other, the air conditioner doesn't work very well, it's barely acceptable for just one night.

The room is old, but livable. There were some small gifts made by hand, I took a mobile phone chain, The living experience wasn't very good, but a beautiful lady gave me half an orange and chatting with me made me happy.
