Nice traditional townhouse but the facilities are terrible, one of the shower rooms door doesn't close properly and the shower is a bucket on the floor with a hand held showehead which has very low pressure and doesn't get warm. The toilet has a fluffy seat cover which doesn't ever seem to get changed and looked very dirty. The bedsheets don't seem to get changed very often, and there is barely standing room in the dorm with 6 beds, mind you one is a thin mattress on the floor between 4 bunk beds so if you slept there you'd have to watch out for people stepping on you as they get out of heir bunks. Other than that the atmosphere was nice if a little cold at night and it was located right next door to a massive complex of historic temples called Daitokuji which was very beautiful. It's a long way from the station, maybe about half an hours walk, but there is a bus stop about 5 minutes down the road. The house mama is nice and friendly and can speak english if needed.
