Jiji is an absolutely wonderful man! Adore him🥰
Thank you a lot, Jiji, i had so many good memories!!
Jiji was making us breakfast every morning (and provided some beer in the evening hehe), which is super cute. The atmosphere is friendly and family-like. Jiji speaks English great, so you can chat with him freely!
The hostel is small, but cosy and clean, has all you need to stay in Tokyo for a few days. The location is 10 of 10, I personally was walking from there to all the main locations like Imperial Palace Gardens, Ginza, Akihabara, Ueno and once even to Tokyo tower and Shinjuku (took about 1.5 hours).
Don't be afraid to stay in hostels, as in Japan they are super safe and you can meet and talk to people all around the world!

Backpacker’s Mini House is the best place for solo travellers in Tokyo. The owner, Jiji-san, is a caring grandpa who looks after and cares for people as though they are his grandchildren. The place is a warm and friendly place where you can join and interact with both locals staying nearby and the people staying at the hostel. The location is very good as well, being conveniently near to many main stations and even walkable distance to the imperial palace. Jiji would wake up early to prepare a simple breakfast to whoever who wants a warm meal before heading out. Please say hi to him and be kind to him when you’re there :)

The grandfather is very enthusiastic. He is 80 years old but still talkative. If you can speak Japanese, you can have a great chat. He will give you travel advice. The place is also very convenient. It only takes seven minutes to walk to Tokyo Station.

The owner is very hospitable and the hostel is very different from other hostels. The guests are friendly; the bed is clean and spacious, and I can sleep well even though I am 190cm tall.

The quilt cover is not changed and is very dirty. I have to give the landlord a hug when I go out. I don’t like being hugged and it’s not hygienic.

First of all, the host is a very amiable Oji sauce, with a very cute personality, can speak a little Chinese, and is still studying hard. Give everyone a big hug every morning when you step out the door. Here, every night when I come back, there will be many friends from all over the world chatting together, which is very happy.
The room is clean, and the bathroom and toilet are separated from each other. Such a cheap price, free breakfast, and drinking and tea at night are really worth it!
