Citan

The hipster crew behind northeastern Tokyo guesthouses Toco. and Nui. are at it again. This time they're striking down in Bakurocho with Citan, a hostel inside a renovated 90-year-old house. The exterior is more restaurant than hostel, and when you step inside you'll be greeted at a coffee stand accessible for guests and non-guests alike. The basement houses a large restaurant and bar, which opens from 6pm and serves light meals that go well with select picks off the extensive wine list. Both dormitories and private rooms are available, with the former starting at ¥3,000.
