I loved my time at Yawp! Honestly, in my travel / life experiences in Japan it has been hard to find kindred spirits who are free and easygoing, with that "backpacker" feel--Tak and his place are the real deal. ☺️ The surrounding area is very calm and a nice peaceful contrast to downtown tokyo, and it was easy to walk to from the train station. The living area is very inviting & I was able to chat with another guest comfortably. Also the bed was amazingly comfortable!! One thing, plan to bring earplugs if you are a light sleeper because the cars passing by on the street are a bit loud. Also! The 10 PM checkout is for real!! I've never experienced a hostel with such a relaxed check out policy, and I loved it. No hurries no worries!!
