MAKOTO GUESTHOUSE -Limited Weight under 120kg, Age under 50years old-

Location was in a residential area so it's comfortably quiet, given that you need to be quiet as well. Also I think I got lucky with the people who I've been with given that the storm kind of holed us in. The staff also had good recommendations with spots around the area, especially the sentos. I didn't get much time to go around for their restaurant recommendations, but I bet its good as well.

None so far. My stay was quite pleasant.

The staff and facility's were great, most of all i met the greatest people there, super social hostel. Makoto is quite but freindly

It can get a little hot and the shower is closed during most of the day, but its never super inconvenient.

Makoto’s Guest House was probably the best part of my trip to Japan!! I first ended up at a fancy hotel but felt very sheltered. When I decided to move to a hostel for a little more adventure, I was nervous, but was so relieved to end up at MGH over the other options. Firstly, It was extremely affordable and fair, but more importantly, it had a unique and calming vibe that made my stay very relaxing and memorable. I met some wonderful people during my stay who were from many different backgrounds and creeds. It’s very clean and allows for a fun adventure because of the social aspect. Almost all guests, while from many different countries, all spoke English, which worked out well for me as an American :) the hostel is in a very relaxing, smaller neighborhood on the outside “suburbs” of Tokyo called Kameari—-about a 10 mins walk from the train, and a short walk to grocery stores, laundry mat and restaurants. Small town vibe, but plenty to do! I highly recommend this place to world travelers who seek a fun and different experience to allow for a trip you will never forget.

Simple, but a few strict rules to follow—-I think they’re fair when you consider the whole package, but I would caution all potential residents to make sure you read the rules when you arrive as MAKOTO is often on site and will be sure to enforce the guidelines. As long as you follow them, you will be fine…things such as proper house etiquette (no shoes (normal in Japan), clear dish washing procedures like putting the dishes back immediately after washing, no food upstairs, no shower 11am-5pm etc.) not a big deal! But FYI

Maybe the neighborhood.

Very dirty house, stuffs are everywhere, not like a hostel, more like someone’s house. Shoes are no order outside and several times I found my shoes covered by other people’s shoes. You need to pay if you want a towel. Can not take shower from 11am-5pm. Can not make phone call inside, but people are noisy anyway. People like having party downstairs too. If you want to make friends maybe can try here. I stayed in lady’s dormitory but i heard men came and talked several times. I don’t feel safe honestly. Cheap but a lot of hostel same price with much more comfort and safety. I moved to another one near Shinjuku after, same price but it’s much way better.
