We stayed 2 nights in March, the hostel is very close to the station. The rooms are basic but fine, there are heaters provided to keep you warm. Small cupboard to hang things. Futons were surprisingly comfortable and the bedding was cozy. Toilets and shower room are kept clean, restocked and warm. Staff were kind and check in was very easy. Ideal for 1 or 2 nights to go see the snow monkeys, the hostel is in a great location so we walked all the way from the hostel to the snow monkeys to beat the crowds as the buses only run after it opens, highly recommend. There are a few restaurants and bars dotted around nearby.
Pillows are very thin. Bathrooms for both genders are not on every floor. Frustrating how there was no mirror above the sink by the woman’s toilets which made washing my hands and putting my contact lenses in difficult.

Me and my friends definitely loooove and enjoyed our stay here the most during our japan trip. The room size was spacious enough for us to open our luggages all the time. To be honest, we really don’t have any complaints at all during our stay at Zen Hostel. Everything exceeds our expectations in the best way. Totally recommended for adults (not applicable to elderly and babies though) to stay here.

We had a private room which was clean and traditional. It had a lovely feel to it and views of the garden.
Unfortunately the heating in the room wasn’t great so we were cold (in January) and we didn’t have an operating shower in the room (although had paid for it).
