I had a great time staying at Wagokoro. Staffs are so friendly and extremely helpful. The place is situated in a nice and quiet neighborhood, very close to convenient store, market and a cafe. They have a nice kitchen set up and it feels so much cozier than your regular hotel stay. Will definitely make this my stay if I'm back in Tokyo again,

This hostel is clean and located at convinient area. There are supermarket and cafe nearby. Facility and cleanness are pretty fine and it has a lot of Japanese-style room (Wa-shitsu). Staff service is also brilliant however, this side of the station isn't tourist area and nothing to see.

The room was clean, and the kitchen was tidy and well-organized. The staff explained everything thoroughly. The towels were soft and smelled nice. It was easy to get around even though it’s not very close to the station, the walk was convenient. There are convenience stores and a supermarket nearby. I was very impressed!
In addition to the amenities in the room, there were also extra items thoughtfully prepared for guests. The photo was taken late at night, so it doesn’t look very tidy.

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.
