    This hostel had a lot for character and I really enjoyed staying there - even just for 1 night. I also did some clothes washing there which all went fine. Location is first class - right between the train station and the castle. It is on this...

    Comfy, clean, really nice hosts. I got some good restaurant recommendations. I always tried to speak in Japanese but they also speak some English so that was useful.
