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.

Nippori Textile Town Accommodation
Hi, the Hostel Wagokoro was meticulously CLEAN (to the point of over the top eg the lift smelled like it had been recently drowned in chemicals every time we entered it). Room service was great...very responsive and pleasant staff. I'd recomment one or two persons to a room. We had three and there was very little space to move, store belongings etc. Well located for those interested in textiles...5 min walk from the Nippori Textile Town - and equally 5 minuts walk to Nippori Station, so great for getting around Tokyo and very convenient to get to Narita Airport.

친구들, 가족들과 묵기 좋은 숙소입니다.
서비스가 친절하고, 침대 컨디션도 좋습니다. 화장실이 작은 것은 살짝 아쉽습니다. 다음에도 여기서 묵고 싶습니다. 니시-닛포리역까지는 넉넉잡아서 걸어서 10분이면 갑니다. (골목이 예뻐서 걸어서 가도 좋습니다) 닛포리역까지는 12분 정도 걸립니다. 근처에 무인세탁실, 훼미리마트, 동네마트가 있어서 먹을 거 사기도 좋습니다.
