MIDORI.so Nihonbashi - hostel

The place is beautifully designed, you have your own little bed in a cozy box, which I really loved. Everything was clean, comfortable, and the location was very convenient. What made it truly special were the people. Everyone working there is warm, friendly, and effortlessly cool. I was traveling alone, but did not feel like it at all - I was given good recos I wouldn’t have known otherwise, tagged along on a snack bar pop-up, and had great conversations and insights about life in general. Even just being there felt nice, with good music and vibes, the kind of space you don’t feel the need to rush out of. I found myself having the kind of conversations that stay with you with the people working there, which became one of the highlights of my trip. On my last day, one of them shared something he had written for their newsletter. I read it and was moved, because it felt like it mirrored exactly what I was feeling in that moment: meeting people, forming connections, and the quiet possibility that they might be the kind you only get once in passing (hopefully not though lol). One of the best stays I’ve had. It’s the kind of place you don’t just remember, you carry it with you. I’d love to come back soon :)
