Will definitely stay here again- we had a car and city parking was also super easy for us- definitely a cool place! Cant recommend it enough!

This is a little gem of a place! Takeru-san is a wonderful and kind host. The space is warm and welcoming, clean and bright. Our Japanese style triple room was peaceful and so comfortable. The shower is great. We met other travelers in the common area. I think this might have been my favorite stay in Japan. I would come back here just to stay at Couch Potato 😀. Thank you to the hosts!

In my limited experience, this is the best hostel I've stayed in. Like what one of the guests said, it has everything that will make any traveler's stay very comfortable. The owner runs the place himself and is very accommodating.

Best hostel in Japan!
Excellent hostel in best location. The bedding is superbly comfortable, and the 4-bed family room with sleeping platforms was spacious and quiet. The showers are large. The kitchen is very well appointed, with a range of appliances as well as complimentary tea and real coffee. First rate hospitality from the host. I absolutely recommend this hostel.
