I visited solo in March and needed directions so I popped in and ended up staying over an hour having drinks and chatting with the excellent staff, Yuya and Haruka. When he found out I was from Tennessee, he broke out into some Elvis♥️ The sake was on point and I had a wonderful time. Will be staying here when I visit again in December. 

Friendly staff, very good drinks♥️

Some reviewers say it was too expensive, but it was worth it compared to the other hostels in Japan. Super modern and clean. Friendly staff where they kept rules firm about the quiet time. There are security lockers for your important belongings. Bedding is so clean and they upkeep the toilets and showers very well! They provide hair dryers in the washroom which is amazing as alot of places Ive stayed did not provide that. The sleeping spaces are like bunk beds but I found that I had alot of space! I could literally keep a backpack next to me in bed

Its at the best area of Tokyo (literally Asakusa is the best location to stay in Tokyo for the walking and feeling of being in Japan). I could go eat at any kind of meal around this location. Near the subway to go around Tokyo and near Sensoji temple. 

When I go back to Japan, this is the place Im sleeping at!

Best Hostel for Its price

The drink menu, and more specifically so the sake (nihonshu) menu, is great! We come here periodically and never ever have we had a bad experience. The friendly staff knows the drinks they are serving and can give spot on recommendations if you tell them your preference. The food menu is ever changing and there are always items on the menu that will entice your taste buds. The pricing is good too and you can easily spend an evening in this relaxed atmosphere without getting ruined.

Please note! This is a review of the food and drinks menu only.

Great location in Asakusa, the Tokyo historic district with easy access to transportation and all attractions. 
The staff is very friendly and available to help you 24h/7.
The place is very clean and has a bar at ground floor.

Great value

It’s was my first time staying at hostel, like my old college days. Plus first time in Tokyo. At first I was turned off and was not looking forward to my stay. But after the first night I was sold on this place. The bed was great and at night it was relatively quiet. The bathroom and shower were extremely clean along with the dorms. The staff were great and went the extra mile for its guests. The bar was very nice with great selection of drinks. They provided free shampoo and soap in the shower. Plenty of extra towels available too. Great place to stay at a great price. Plus close to major attractions in Tokyo and the subway. I will definitely stay again. Please check out the jazz bar around the block!!! First rate!  Thanks again and your beautiful city!!! See you soon. Mark

This was my second trip to Japan and in the past I’ve stayed in hostels that were quite uncomfortable etc. but at Bunka this was not the case! Such a great little hostel in the best location, so close to everything right outside your door. They make your beds every day and provide a clean towel on your bed. The dorms were great sizes for a hostel and bathrooms very clean with plenty to accomodate the amount of people staying on each level. Overall a fantastic experience and will be recommending to friends. Only thing I will say is that it gets a little bit stuffy at night in your hub so I’d open my curtain a tiny bit to let in some air. Also it is right near a convenient train station and the Asakusa temples. Staff super friendly!

Best hostel I’ve stayed in! 

this is like a luxury hostel nested in a very good location in Asakusa. This is my 2nd stay here and I seriously dont want to stay anywhere else the next time I go. close to 3 malls, mcdonalds is right in front, cafes around, asakusa market is next door, asakusa temple is a few min walk and during night they have this cool food market. service is excellent too and cleanliness is superb. I will definitely go back!

I'll definitely go back!

Had a really great stay here. Hostel very clean and cosy and an amazing staff. The beds are clean, common bathrooms as well. Never had any problem to fell asleep, it's relatively quiet. The breakfast is quiet good. The best thing about Bunka is its location in the center of Asakusa and near subway stations. I recommand it for sure.

Amazing hostel in the one of the bests places in Tokyo !

Very clean bed and bathroom with a great location, close to the sensoji temple, sky tree, subway station and there are many restaurants nearby here. staff really polite. 

Thank you for your service. This is our first time to stay in the dormitory and you made it a memorable for us. We will come back here again !

The cleanest hostel that I've ever been

Bunka is highly recommendable! Staffs are very friendly and accommodating. Whenever we ask for something, they will immediately find ways to answer the question. Plus, the ambiance of the hostel is very cozy. Super clean and well maintained. So, if you guys are coming over to Tokyo, Japan BUNKA is the place to be especially for a backpacker like me! 👍🏻
