This old standby lacks the designer charm of Tokyo's newer hostels but makes up for it with its multilingual, four-star-hotel-level front-desk service. There's a diverse spread of spartan room arrangements, including rare-in-Japan family rooms with a double bed and bunks. Other perks include discounted rates for stays of a week or more and cultural activities.
There's a large terrace cafe where breakfast is served for ¥350.
