Great location in the heart of the Golden Gai and Kabukicho area. Unfortunately, like the area at large, it’s a bit sketchy and grimy with a strong smell of cigarettes. The place is very small, just a long hallway, but the balcony area provides a nice bit of much needed space and air. If you’re a smoker this would be a paradise (especially with the new stricter public smoking laws set in place) but if you have any sensitivity like I do, be forewarned. The smell has worked its way deep into everything, the bedding, the curtains, the ventilation, and comes wafting from the hallways and even from the outside as well. That’s just Kabukicho. But if that’s not a problem for you it’s a great jumping off point to explore the bright chaos of the area at all hours of the day!
