This is hands down best place I've stayed in Japan. The first floor is a cafe/ sake bar so don't be afraid to walk in, they know the deal. I went with the shared room which I got to say was an experience. Everyone is friendly and you'll meet people from all over the world. The place is spotless,there's also a washer and drier upstairs, soap provided. I recommend chatting with the people down stairs as well as they have suggestions on where to go and their English is pretty good. They also have an excellent selection is Sake and regular music events with some talented musicians. It's location is less than 10 min walk from the Sumiyoshi station and once you're there you can get anywhere you want to go, it's also not in the middle of everything so it's not overcrowded. When I'm back in Tokyo I will definitely be staying here 10/10
