Tak is a really warn and lively character. Staying at his place for the first few nights of our trip was awesome! Would definitely recommend Tak’s hostel to anyone. He worked really hard to make sure all of the shared spaces were cleaned daily and he offered a lot of insight into the Japanese culture. Be mindful that this hostel has a lot of stairs though, so if you cannot carry your own luggage up 2 flights of stairs... pack lighter haha.
