great stay!

We stayed in a 2-bed room for 10 nights. You should expect the bathroom to be small, but it has everything we needed. The hotel has a common area kitchen, which we didn't use much, but also the room itself had a little fridge and a table. There is a laundromat literally across the street if you need to do laundry. The staff was SO nice the entire time!!! We really enjoyed our stay here while in Japan!

We had a brief but lovely stay at Wagokoro. It is an easy 10 minute walk from Nippori station, perfect after a long flight into the country. The hostel is new and tidy with a nice common area. Staff were friendly and welcoming even when we were checking in at 10pm.

Staying at Wagokoro becomes one part of our Japan journey. Staffs are all friendly and helpful in any way possible. Room is cleaned daily. Nippori station is 7-9 mins walk away. It’s perfect in almost everything.

The staff and service here is excellent! One of the best that we've ever encountered. They took the initiative to recommend us places to play and eat, and also helped readily with our requests. I lost my hat on a bus and they helped me to contact the bus company, and managed to get back my hat! Especially, the lady at the counter. I unfortunately did not ask her for her name, but she speaks Chinese and always started a conversation with us - which was nice! The room we stayed in was a little small for 4 people, and we had to take turns showering. But overall, the room is very clean and the staff took initiative in cleaning our room too. The location was not bad, if you prefer to live in a little neighbourhood. It's really quiet, even at night. There's a really big supermarket nearby and a very good bakery. It's also not very far from the station. There's 2 stations in close proximity. Overall, I highly recommend this hostel and I will stay here again! (But maybe not with 4 people)

This was a great place to stay and super affordable for all the amenities that are offered. The people who work there are SO NICE and helpful. It is well located in a cute neighbourhood near a cool bakery/coffee shop/book store and a 8-10 minute walk from Nippori station on the Yamanote sen - near Ueno Park and other east-side attractions. Very convenient to get to Narita. We stayed in a Japanese style room with access to the a little outside area (more to look at then go out in). The room was immaculate and efficient. I was there with my family- a little small for four people but fine for one night. There is a common room with a kitchen and fridge.
