Backpacker's Mini House - Hostel

Simple breakfast at 7am with coffee or tea was good. Directions to the place from google were wrong. From otemachi station you have to turn right its a 30min walk not 9 mins, go past tokoyo hotel, left from seven eleven up 3 streets then turn right.

Jij the owner will treat you well. The location is about a 20-minute walk from Tokyo Station and is also close to a subway, making it easy to travel around Tokyo. It offers dormitory-style bunk bed accommodation, with shared shower and bathroom facilities.

Amazing! Jiji is the best host imaginable. This was my favorite hostel in my whole stay in Japan. I was very sad to leave and will definitely come back next time I’m in Tokyo! The building is on the older side, which didn’t bother me at all, but some might not enjoy as much

Jij was an amazing host. Thanks for being such a great person Jij. The location was awesome. Loved it. I actually forgot the breakfast was included, it was a nice surprise. I've met nice people in there. It was not directly related to the place. I didn't sleep much because one of the girl didn't sleep, had a light on all night (she was the bed next to mine so I had as much light as she did). At 5 in the morning, she went to take a shower which is in the room....

Jiji provided me with one of the best experiences I had in Japan. From his flexibility with my check-in to providing me suggestions on where to walk around, and simply taking the time to get to know me, this was such a special part of my trip. Very grateful to you Jiji and will be stopping to say hi next time I'm in Tokyo. Also on another note, the location was great and breakfast the next morning was an added benefit to meet the others staying in the hostel

Jij the grandfather is a great host and makes everything and everyone very welcome!

Excelent hostal, clean and warm. Gigi is the best host and he makes sure every guest have a good time. The dinner table at nights can become a truly international community along the other guests and maybe a drink or 2. For the price and location, there is nothing wrong with this hostel.

Good

Jinjang the owner is super nice and I feel at home, being able to leave your luggage for free while you explore the city of Tokyo is a bonus! Plus the welcome alcohol is something no other hostel/hotel is offering.

Jij, the owner, was one of the loveliest people I have ever met! He was welcoming, kind and his accomodation speaks to his character. The accomodation is conveniently located, with options for food, laundry and shopping within a 10-20min walk. My stay was comfortable and quiet :)

Jij was great host.

The establishment is very homely and I felt right at home. The shower had an interesting smell.

Really nice owner

The friendly atmosphere. Nothing

Cozy atmosphere a little small

Service is very good, handsome

Like home. No

The location was great and the owner was very helpful. There was no windows so no fresh air in the room so it made it difficult to fall asleep. And it doesn’t have an elevator so its pretty hard to take the luggage to the room.

Jiji was very welcoming and so nice, honestly he's the whole experience. The bedroom was incredibly hot and muggy at night because one of the other guests had taken a shower and not aired things out. That made sleeping incredibly difficult. Some things could have been cleaner, but I wouldn't necessarily call the place dirty.

Jij is absolute the best! Of all the places I’ve stayed in Japan nobody comes close to him. When I asked him why he decided to put this place, he said that he was a poor backpacker… And people would give him food and shelter for free… So he wanted to return that. How amazing is that!? We need more people in the world like Jij! He also serves breakfast for free! How kind! And it was great, that we ended up all chatting in the big table sharing our stories. I didn’t stay in many hostels in Japan but this one, it’s something else. I will definitely come back to stay at Jij’s place. He is the kindest! Not a biggy, but as a shared bedroom, of course, you depend of how silent and considerate is the rest of the people. But the facilities are great!
