Kaisu

Top choice in Roppongi, Akasaka & Around


Occupying a former ryōtei (geisha house), Kaisu is a flashpacker hostel with mid-century-modern and surfer-chic stylings. Dorms offer wooden bunks with the gorgeous old building's exposed beams on show. English-speaking staff are very friendly and there's a great cafe-bar (10am to 11pm) where you can mingle with locals.
