  • #Shinjuku #Tokyo #Japan #alley The famous piss alley or Omoide Yokocho in Shinjuku, Tokyo. By day it's just another narrow alleyway common in Tokyo, but at night the street turns into a mini nightlife area for the salarymen of Tokyo. With numerous tiny #bar lining up, the nickname comes from the fact in the past so many drunk salarymen doing their "bussiness" there because there's no toilet anywhere in this alleyway. Today, regulation has been set in the area so it is a lot cleaner than before. The alleyway is very narrow and can only fit at maximum 2 people at a time so be mindful of your surrounding when visiting especially when there's many drunk people walking by from the bars. The bars are also very tiny and can only fit less than 10 people at a time. If you are not claustrophobic give them a try, it's a special experience on its own :)

This was the best place! Location was perfect, everything was clean and cozy, I felt like my sleeping area had plenty of room, there was always hot water, and the included breakfast was solid. I felt like I could be social if I wanted to be, but I didn't have to be, and the vibes overall were just perfect. I stayed in a few different hostels on this trip, and this was my fave.

Very nice stay with a delightful breakfast included at an excellent price - this venue is mainly foreign tourists. The women's only floor was lovely but the top bunk was difficult/slippery to climb in and out of, and also had light and noise filter in. It was pretty crowded.

Stayed in the women's dorm. Common area spaces (particularly the bathroom and showers) could be kept a little bit cleaner in my opinion, but everything else was spectacular. For the most part everyone was super kind and respectful - there was a moment where some Australian girls were arguing in the dorm past quiet hours lol but otherwise everyone was very quiet! The private bed area and linens were spotless and cozy. I had enough room to store my bookbag and duffel bag there during the duration of my stay, and also appreciated the little lockable drawer to stash away valuables whenever I went out. The bedding was incredibly comfy and I slept like a brick. I used my noise cancelling headphones to play some white noise while sleeping and I honestly couldn't hear a thing in the room, it felt like staying in my own private place! The breakfast was also sufficient enough to power me through my morning for lunch and helped to shave some food costs off my trip which was perfect. I wish the coffee wasn't instant coffee, but, again, this is just a nitpicky thing. I'll absolutely stay here again! Hopefully next time I won't be as busy and can actually socialize a bit. The common areas are always full of people hanging out and chatting and the bar also seemed very lively at night. Overall great value!

Check in was fast. Room was clean for people of three but of course because it’s a dorm type of rooms you have to be quiet and there’s some body odor lingering when you passed the hallway. Bathrooms are shared but there’s doors in each toilet and shower area. Breakfast was great. Cool place for single people.
