The hotel rates were super high during the Nagaoka fireworks festival. And I was lucky to find this hostel for a transit after the fireworks. The place is lovely and everything is clean. Very convenient location which is within 5min walk to the Nagaoka train station A great option if you are traveling alone on a budget.
A bit difficult to find (no exterior sign) so look for 菊地k第一ビル(kikuchi dai ichii building) it will be on its 4th floor.
Close to Niigata station and commodities but away from the city's main touristic sites.
Staff was adorable, beds are comfy and the place is clean.
Just few minutes walk from JR station, and very close with the Main Street for foods n convenient store. The font desk staff very helpful n they let me keep luggage overnight. Definitely will stay here again when I come Niigata
