The address is 2-25 Tsutonishiguchicho, Nishinomiya City, Hyogo Prefecture.
Area around “豊多屋ホステル”
Across the street, there is an apartment building with Sato Eye Clinic on the first floor.
If you go this way, you’ll find Yakiniku Sanzenri, 古本屋 蝸牛, and the elevated tracks of the Hankyu Imazu Line.
In the opposite direction, you immediately reach Fukushi Center-suji, and beyond that are the elevated tracks of the Hanshin Railway, Itoman Swimming School, FamilyMart, and the area in front of Hanshin Nishinomiya Station.
Demolition work on the building has now begun.
Toyotaya Hostel as it used to look↓

Quoted from Guest Rooms｜TOYOTAYA HOSTEL Web Archive
It was an affordable shared-room lodging facility, and many people apparently used it when going to baseball games at Koshien Stadium, touring sake breweries, visiting KidZania Koshien, or traveling for business. It seems there were also guests from overseas.
Lastly
I think it may have been one of the few valuable lodging facilities in Nishinomiya City. Incidentally, before Toyotaya Hostel opened at this location, it seems there was an inn called “旅館志ぐれ” that hosted high school baseball teams during the spring and summer tournaments.Research by KAZU＠にしつーsp
