Jam is in a fantastic location. You're even apt to see Geishas in the neighborhood. The hostel is close to lots of shopping and places to eat. The staff is super friendly and helpful. Our six bed dorm room was clean and the bunk beds roomy. There's a bathroom in the room and showers nearby. We were able to do... More

We stayed here for 2 nights and we love this place! ideally located in Gion, it is close to a few bus stops. The only problem was that we took a while to find this place initially. Better direction from the hostel would be helpful for others to locate this place. We stayed in an 8-bed dorm and the room... More

We booked a double room for 3 nights and moved to a 6 person dorm on the last night because they didn't have availability. Both rooms were small (as to be expected... More

Excellent, new and clean hostel with perfect location! I was in a private room with shared bathroom, and the size of the room was more than fine compared to the Japanese standard! Bathrooms and showers were always clean and there is a sake bar on The ground floor.
