I
stayed
for
a
month
in
this
hostel
which
has
the
friendliest
and
nicest
owner
who
has
lots
of
good
recommendations
for
nearby
attractions
and
restaurants.
The
dormitory
bed
or
'capsule'
was
very
generously
sized
and
had
sturdy
wooden
walls
to
give
you
more
privacy
than
a
simple
bunk
bed
would,
and
the
entrance
to
it
was
covered
by
a
little
curtain.
It
had
a
little
nightstand
and
lamp
with
a
wireless
charging
option
in
it,
the
pillow
was
comfy
and
the
duvet
warm
and
if
that
wasn't
enough
to
keep
you
warm
(there
*is*
aircon
in
the
room
but
someone
has
to
put
it
on
and
other
guests
didn't
always
realize
that),
there's
a
heated
mattress
pad
which
I
absolutely
loved.
Common
areas
on
the
second
floor
included
bathrooms
and
toilets
which
were
cleaned
daily
and
were
in
an
excellent
condition,
a
little
washing
up
area
with
sinks,
a
small
fridge
and
a
microwave
and
some
toiletries
such
as
earplugs,
face
wash,
oil
and
even
sanitary
napkins
if
I
saw
correctly.
Very
considerate
if
you
ask
me,
even
if
I
didn't
need
any
myself
since
I
am
a
guy
:D
Second
floor
also
had
washing
machines
and
dryers
you
could
use
for
a
small
fee,
plus
a
small
area
for
eating
and
sitting
in.
The
second
floor's
common
areas
were
quite
cold
in
march
still
since
they're
not
heated,
as
is
usually
the
case
in
japanese
buildings,
but
if
you
wanted
to
spend
time
outside
of
the
bedroom
the
lounge/diner
area
on
the
first
floor
was
open
in
the
evenings
from
4pm
to
10pm
or
a
bit
later
and
sometimes
during
the
day
(that
tended
to
vary
a
little).
I
spent
many
evenings
chatting
with
the
owner
and
other
guests
at
the
first
floor
lounge
which
was
warm
and
nice
to
sit
and
hang
out
in.
Owner
will
also
prepare
breakfast
and/or
other
meals
upon
request,
I
didn't
eat
breakfast
there
since
I
had
to
leave
to
work
so
early
but
saw
him
make
them
for
other
guests
and
the
french
toasts
looked
absolutely
mouthwatering.
Also
got
to
taste
some
freshly
baked
breads
one
of
the
employees
was
practicing
making,
would
definitely
recommend
trying
if
they
start
selling
them!
Location-wise
La
Union
is
perfectly
situated,
close
to
the
station
and
in
the
middle
of
an
area
that's
shock-full
of
little
izakayas
and
shops.
Closest
restaurants
are
literally
across
the
street
and
there's
at
least
two
convenience
stores
within
a
minute's
walk
and
a
very
affordable
co-op
supermarket
maybe
a
5min
walk
away.
And
if
you
want
to
go
somewhere
a
bit
further
away,
you
can
always
rent
a
bike
from
the
hostel
since
they've
got
brand
new
electric
bikes
which
are
very
handy
if
you
want
to
go
to
places
like
the
hanamiyama
which
is
a
bit
far
from
the
station
by
foot
and
don't
want
to
be
tied
to
bus
schedules
(or
just
want
to
go
at
6am
when
busses
aren't
really
operating
yet
like
I
did).
Apparently
they
also
rent
tents
and
other
camping
equipment!
All
in
all
I
would
definitely
go
back
again
if
I
went
to
Fukushima,
the
hostel
is
definitely
worth
the
(very
affordable)
price.
