It was mostly quiet but it livened up at the end. There are many events held at Omotenashi Lab and one of them was loud until 8:30 PM, which just happened to work out perfectly for when I want to go to bed. I enjoyed the surrounding area, but there wasn't a lot of people my age, 27, so there wasn't much of a night life. The staff was friendly, but I wish they would have taken more interest in me. It seemed like I was just a tenet and not a guest in that respect, closer to a hotel patron than a guest at a guest house.
I would probably book here again because I like the quite, the local library, and I didn't explore Sakura City quite enough. I also enjoyed the bottom bunk which had space for me to unpack and had a curtain for privacy and a lamp. That was a nice touch. Shampoo and body wash was included and shavers, toothbrushes and toothpaste, even combs.
The wifi seemed to be pretty fast too so that was a plus.
