The prices increase to 5,500 Yen ($66.90 CAD) on weekends and days before holidays.

If you are seeking a restful, comfortable sleep, the hostel’s website holds no punches in explaining that, “the perfect setting for a good night’s sleep is something you will not find here. There are no comfortable mattresses, fluffy pillows nor lightweight and warm down duvets.”

However, what they do offer is the ultimate blissful experience of drifting off with a good book, “with heavy drooping eyelids you continue reading only to realize you have fallen asleep.”
