Great location. The check-in cut-off is a little early at 8pm, but check-out is at 11am so it balances out. The dorm bed was really comfy and the entire place was clean and smelled nice. There's parking nearby, around 1000 yen/12hrs. I found one 900 yen/24hrs a few minutes away. S-san was a gracious host. Would definitely stay again.

The owner of the guest house allowed me to keep my bicycle in the entryway overnight. She is very kind and a hard worker!

A quaint and sweet spot not too far from Shizuoka Station. They provide a dormitory experience or a private room option as well. The dormitory capsules are comfortable, but can be a bit loud when at capacity. In all honesty, it was a bit difficult to sleep in the conditions, but was still a comfortable. The bathrooms and showers are clean and well maintained. The lockers are a bit small, but holds valuables. There are options for breakfast and other amenities for a small fee as well, if necessary.

Vintage style cafe with the option to stay the night in either a capsule or private room. I went for some early morning toast and pineapple juice. Loved the vibe and how nice the owner was - a great place to get information on local events and activities. Definitely worth a visit/stay.
