Hostels in Japan

Very good hostel for snowboarding. With facilities that suite for guests. Shuttle bus stop to ski area in front of the hostel. Very recommend

Furano truly lives up to its reputation as a ski haven, and Hostel Tomar is conveniently located in the city hall building. It's a popular choice for many skiers who prefer to stay in town. For solo travelers, it's a clean and convenient option; drawing the curtains and wearing earplugs still allowed for a decent night's sleep.

Perfect stay at Tomar :) the hostel is very clean and well-maintained and close proximity to Furano JR station. Highly recommended.

Front desk staff helpful  She assist us to book a taxi to ningle terrace Nice staff and always smile Tq

Though understand that this is a hostel but the sound proof really not good. Throughout the night kept hearing sounds from next room (like they knocked things to the wall). Other than that averagely fine.

Actually because of a hurricane, I can't check in the hotel. But will be back to another trip to Hokaido for next trip

Stay here for many times already. Means I am satisfied for everything.

The location is superb, right across from Nagoya Station, and there's a Lawson convenience store downstairs, which is very convenient for solo travelers.

Great location, right across from JR Nagoya Station. There's a 7-Eleven nearby with plenty of food and other things to buy. I highly recommend the yakiniku, ramen, and unagi. The hostel is a bit old, but still quite clean. Nagoya isn't a traditional tourist city, so it's not too crowded, perfect for those who enjoy peace and quiet.

Although the last renovation was in 2015, the facilities, cleanliness, and service are still quite good. The public area on the first floor is small but includes a microwave, and free hot water and Miso soup are available all day. The location is excellent, very close to the train station. I recommend visiting Atsuta Jingu Shrine and Osu Kannon Temple; Nagoya Castle was just okay. For getting around...

The hostel was located in a great location. The entrance to Nagoya Station is just a minute away on foot. The staff was nice and helpful.

I stayed for 3 nights at the Wasabi Hostel Nagoya. I took the Nohi Bus from Takayama, which took about 2 hours and 30 minutes to reach its final destination, the Meitetsu Nagoya Bus Terminal. The fare was 3600 yen. Using Google Maps, it was about a 700-meter, 10-minute walk to the hostel. Actually, getting off at JR Station would have been closer, but I wanted to check the Meitetsu train schedules...

Ah, one of the best hostels in Gion because you will meet so many foreigners here & make friends at the dining table. The best part was the kitchen & shower area. Super clean. They have almost all equipment to cook good food & enjoy at the dining table.

I stayed at The Ryokan Hostel Gion in Kyoto and had a great experience. The staff were very friendly and welcoming, and the entire place — including the showers and bathrooms — was spotless. The atmosphere felt cozy and friendly, making it easy to relax after a day of exploring the city. The bedroom space is quite small, but it’s comfortable and convenient for short stays. Overall, it’s a great choice...

Lovely hostel with clean and comfortable amenities, fresh towels provided daily and located in a very central area near bus stops, subway station and Gion. Our only hiccup was the dryer on the 4th floor not being able to dry our clothes too well. Not a big deal, the laundromat across the street is extremely well kept and useful. Highly recommended for anyone wanting to visit this corner of Kyoto

Although everything is shared, the space was clean, even the restroom. There is a bathtub so if you are lucky no one is using it, you are free to do so. I just unfortunately have been assigned a bed that is beside the entrance so I wasn’t able to sleep immediately hearing the door slide every now and then. Also, I could hear every time others slide their curtains so it did take time before falling...

I love our experience in staying here. The staff are very kind and polite. They also recommend restaurants or places near the Hostel. The exterior of the place is very traditional and the interior is very homy. There also a public area, where you can sit down with your friends to talk and a public kitchen where you can make a coffee. There is also a convenience store near the hostel, so there are...

I stayed in the private rooms, so I am unaware of the true hostel experience here. The private rooms are very clean and modern, although they can be a bit cramped when all four bunks are occupied. They have a mini fridge with freezer, a microwave, and a water heater in the rooms. The public area is also very friendly and clean. No shoes allowed but they supply you with slippers.

No in and ou of hotelt after 3 am till morning.

You need to take a few steps from the various stations around this place. Staff here is very friendly and willing to assist. There is a small AEON supermarket right next to the accommodation, which is very remarkable!!

This property is almost in the center of Chiba if you are traveling around the city center. There are a few stations nearby, including the famous Chiba Urban Monorail. This property comes with a public bath and a spacious common area where you can relax and eat. The place is old, but it’s okay. This does not bother me as long as it’s clean.

I had a wonderful experience at Capsule Hotel The Inn. The building was within walking distance from Chiba Station, which I reached from the Narita airport using one train within an hour, which was a huge plus. The area was very quiet, and I slept really well in my cozy capsule. My cubicle was well equipped with a TV, lamp, locker, hand sanitizer, cups for water (they even provided a bottle of water...

The facilities are really well-maintained. 1. There's a shoe rack, so you don't have to wear shoes to your room. 2. There's a large public bath, complete with a sauna. This is the first time I've seen a capsule hotel with a public bath. 3. The lounge is filled with comics and various vending machines, making for a comfortable stay. 4. The amenities and facilities are well-equipped. There's everything...

This is a very traditional Japanese capsule hotel, similar to a Chinese bathhouse. The hot tub is very comfortable, the sauna is complete, and the massage chairs are also very good. There's even a desktop computer, printer, office chair, and book bar. It's very nice, except that my roommate snores. China should learn from Japan. I also maintain hygiene at all times, maintain the image of Chinese tourists...

Very quiet! The hygiene was excellent and everything was clean. A great first experience staying in a capsule hotel.

The facilities were very clean and it was quiet at night, making for a very comfortable overall experience. However, there are some things to note regarding luggage storage: you have to call the hotel on check-in day to open the door before you can store your luggage, and on check-out day, you can't store luggage because the main door is locked (and it seems there might be a fee). This was quite inconvenient...

Everything was great, it was just a little disappointing that the staff didn't speak English.

The hotel was clean overall, and other guests were quiet, making for a pleasant stay. I hardly ever ran into other guests in the shower or restroom, so it was never crowded. I had a lot of luggage, so I had to be careful when opening my suitcase.

Clean and tidy, with a shower room and laundry facilities. It offers decent value for money, though the lockers are a bit small.

It was nice that the female and male rooms and elevators were separated. It was also nice that the sleeping area was separate from the lockers, so there were no noise in the sleeping area.

The staff were kind and lovely. Even though my mother is not good at speaking English, the staff slowly gave advice. The service was very impressive. If anyone is traveling alone, I recommend this place as an option.

A capsule hotel and sauna located along Shijo Street. This time, I only used the sauna. The sauna front desk is on the 6th floor, the lockers are large, and the inside of the building is very spacious and clean. A large-scale renovation was completed a few years ago, and in addition to the large sauna, there is also a sauna on the rooftop, and there is also plenty of outdoor bathing space. The jacuzzi...

the onsen, spa and sauna is like the best i experience in kyoto man. very comfortable and relaxing. the breakfast was very good with alot of different varieties everyday.

Great location, love the spa option. Lots of rules. If you have tattoos you can cover it with bandage's

Just a few minutes walk from Gion-Shijo station and not that far from the shopping streets. Great service and location, however, was kinda disappointed with the capsule as I felt stuffy inside and ventilation weren't that great. I do love the sauna though, there's the roof sauna and hot spring. Perhaps the sauna could indicate more English posters to educate the tourists on proper sauna etiquette

Honestly the best capsule hotel I've seen so far! The perfect location, very friendly staff, clean rooms, etc. The free sauna use is amazing, there are various kinds of sauna and baths that you can enjoy and even massages that aren't expensive.

It was a capsule hotel, so a regular hotel would have been better!

This is an artificial bath that uses hot spring travertine from the Futamata Radium Hot Spring in Oshamanbe, Hokkaido, so I went there just to enjoy the artificial hot spring without using the sauna. The sauna and spa are on the first basement floor. I was worried that it would be humid because it's underground, but the changing room was dry and not uncomfortable at all. It's a great environment where...

Women can also stay in the hotel, and the large bathroom is for men only. The hotel has excellent facilities and is located close to the station. Rates are 4 000 yen per night including breakfast, and 3900 yen per night for capsule use. The hotel is popular and reservations are required. The large public baths feature Futamata radium hot springs, Hokkaido's hidden hot spring, as well as a sauna and...

Both the sauna and the cold bath are old-fashioned and very comfortable in a good way. I personally want a sauna between low and high temperatures. Also, since part of it is completely visible from the elevator, it may be dangerous if a woman pushes a button and comes by mistake. The restaurant is reasonably priced and delicious, so it's worth a try. If you want, I want you to add more menus. The...

Before checking in, I thought it was a bit pricey, but after staying, I totally get why it's worth the cost. The common area is quite spacious, perfect for guests to eat. The second floor is where the rooms are. As you enter, there are lockers on the left, and the path to the restrooms and showers is also on the left. The right side is solely for sleeping.

The capsule bed was spacious, toilet and bathroom were clean. Near the supermarket which was just across the road and next to convenience store. Luggage storage was provided before and after check in/out. Walking distance around 25 mins from Kawaguchiko Station. The only downside was you were not allowed to stay inside the capsule bed and need to leave from that building after 10 am until 3 pm as...

Great customer service and excellent communication from the team. The place is clean and well maintained and the capsule is comfortable and well equipped.  Thank you.

Clean, best location to train station, free hot water in public zone

Located just right opposite Fuji Q station, just 1 station away from Kawaguchiko station, only 2 mins walk. Not much eateries nearby but there’s a Lawson next to the hotel.

Place is extremely good location if you plan to end your day trip to Fuji-q highland. Comfortable for a night’s stay but not much around other than some restaurants and Lawson.

Great value for a dated capsule experience. Good sento, alarm don’t work

This is suitable for men who are traveling alone. If you are traveling to Kobe for the first time, you can consider it. Only men stay here, and most of them are Japanese locals.

It's very good for a simple night, clean and sanitary, with a large bath

Location is around 10min walking distance from Sannomiya station. Public bath and sauna room is quite old. Overall is ok

Not bad, the capsule room is more private. Facilities: You can take a shower on the 2nd floor, there is no water outage time, you can eat and make phone calls on the 5th floor, the 34th floor is a capsule room, there are three sockets inside, but two are very close, so you can use two at the same time Environment: There are many convenience stores around, it is very close to JR Sannomiya Station, and...

A nice and clean budget stay. Nice staff service. Happy to find a nice and clean microwave oven when I just needed one. All guests are civilized in all aspects. No noise at all at night although many clients sharing a same room. In summary, a nice and comfortable one-night short stay for me.

It’s a big hostel, essentially only two rooms. Full of special rules for each little thing. The set up of the rooms is really weird because the locker is in a completely separate area, so it really doesn’t make sense to use it. It’s kind of like a gym locker. The top bunks sharea ladder which is incredibly uncomfortable to use since you need to coordinate with 3 other people use a ladder.

The environment is very nice ! The room was very clean and tidy.

Super clean and convenient. Highly recommend.

I had to make a last-minute trip to Naha, so I stayed here. As always, it was clean and comfortable. Next time, I'd like to enjoy a leisurely morning with breakfast.

the place was very well located, the staff was super friendly, the coffee place is def a plus! The beds are not exactly bunk beds so if the person staying on top moves a lot, you won’t really feel it if you are staying at the bottom one, which is great. Something to take in consideration is that it gets really hot and u can’t really do much about it.

Great location but very loud and light, difficult to sleep

The staffs there are so nice & friendly, especially the Supervisor/Manager, Ai-san. Great locations with Hibiya Line & JR Line which just 3 minutes walk away from the hostel, suitable for people planning to go Akihabara, Ueno, Ginza and etc. There’s even a Lawson within a minute away from it. Would definitely come again when next time visiting Tokyo!!

Very nice location, easy to access by metro, quiet and clean. The staff is very friendly and helpful.

I stayed here for 7 nights during peak sakura season, March 30-April 6, 2026. I am very satisfied with my stay and would recommend this place to travellers, especially to solo travellers. The room I’ve stayed is just enough for 1 person, and actually spacious to keep 2 big luggages. Amneties are very good and just enough for my 2 nights stay. The services are excellent, and the place is very clean...

Overall, I had a very comfortable stay. The property was clean, well-organized, and felt thoughtfully managed. All the reception staff I met were friendly, polite, and able to communicate in basic English, which made everything smooth. I stayed in a single room. It was compact but comfortable for one person; personally I think it would feel quite tight for two guests. Initially I was a bit hesitant...

Good place to sleep, so clean, its good u have ur own room but if u travel with big suitcase just consider its small for open ur big suitcase, but overall i love sleep in here

We loved it here, the bed was big enough for two in both of the private rooms. The facilities were clean and the shared kitchen is great. We would love to come back.

The place was well-maintained and the cafe/bar had a great atmosphere.

The owner and staff are all very friendly, and the atmosphere is great! The bedding and sheets were also very clean, clearly well-washed. Downstairs, it seems like many locals come for lunch or to the cafe. The area is quiet, and there are convenience stores nearby (three of them!). There's also a church close by, though I didn't confirm if actual services are held there (as I'm not Christian). The...

It was stylish, clean, and overall very comfortable. The room was also well-maintained, allowing me to relax and feel at ease. The location is also great, and I was personally very happy to be able to see the Skytree just a short walk away, and I enjoyed taking a walk there. I think it's a great place for sightseeing as well. I felt it was very good value for money, and I'd definitely stay here again...

Loved this hostel! Super sociable and also very clean! Staff were also all very lovely :) Thanks

Sensoji Temple was within walking distance, which was nice, and evening strolls along the river provided a nice view of Skytree, making for a pleasant stroll. However, despite its location in front of Kuramae Station, it's a bit far from major tourist attractions, which was a bit disappointing. Also, because it's a guesthouse, I had to make my own duvet cover, which was a bit disappointing. However...

Excellent hostel, I stayed here for my last two days in Tokyo. I booked a private room, which was quiet and comfortable. The bedding was clean (you make your own bed), and the duvet was warm and fluffy. I'd say the room size is ideal for one person at most. Even though the bathroom was shared on the floor, it was right opposite my room, there were never any queues, and it was always spotless. The...

Great place, very peaceful, location is pretty bad though and keep in mind the curfew

Very clean and modern looking hostel. Drawback is location, but it’s close to Ryōan-ji and 50 min walking to Arashiyama Bamboo Forest.

Beautiful architecture and really the best youth hostel I been to in this world. Great breakfast

Very nice place & clean. The staff very helpful and friendly too.

The environment and surrounding makes you feel super comfortable. Sadly, I only stay 1 night but will definitely come back on my next trip to Kyoto, Thanks…

Good youth hostel you can find many places around and you can also eat inside the youth hotel they have a restaurant

Its a fine hostal, the matres is thine but you can request a second one if you want to. There is a free basis breakfast (bread, jam thee coffe) that runs from 8 to 10. Bedrooms, showers and washrooms are clean and the staff is helpful if asked.

Good place and awesome ambiance

The shower room was especially clean and nice. There were a lot of foreigners there, but I had no problems. It was quite a walk from the station, but maybe it felt far because the weather was nice and hot. I became friends with the girl in my room and had a fun conversation. I'd like to use it again if I have the opportunity. Thank you.

The best. It's a shame it was short, but I plan to stay again!

Everything is good, but it's just a bit far from the station

The room is clear and the staff are very nice, a good experience.

This historic hotel is essentially a youth hostel. Guests are responsible for making their own beds, buying their own toothbrushes and toothpaste, and there is no housekeeping service. Please consider this carefully before booking.

The room has tatami mats and a river view, which is nice. Rooms without a river view can also see the sea, which is nice. It's just that it's light to walk. The bathroom is a bit awkward and there are no gender divisions. It's more comfortable to take a bath in the bathhouse on the first floor below.

Super nice room, very big, great river view, experience the real life of Japanese people

This is a hotel with a history of more than 100 years. It has a very historical feel. However, because it is older, it is all made of wood. It is very noisy at night. As long as someone goes out, there will be noise. Therefore, people should be careful before going to bed. However, its location is really good. I personally feel very good.

This historic house, built along the river, offers a beautiful view from the window. The common areas are very convenient, though I regret not being able to read "The Dancing Girl of Izu" in the riverside window seat. Aside from some creaking floorboards and slightly outdated kitchen facilities, everything else was as expected and satisfying. The front desk staff spoke excellent English, making communication...

For this trip to Izu, we stayed one night in Ito, choosing the century-old Japanese-style onsen K's. An unexpected surprise was finding a postcard from the 1950s showing the hotel's exterior while sorting through our old postcard collection back home. Taken from the Matsukawa Bridge, the domed building on the right is the hotel, virtually unchanged over 70 years. Price: Although it's a youth hostel...

Good place Good vibe best in hostel @Tokyo See you next trip.

Nice place, it's right next to a metro station, also close to Ueno and like a 15 mintues walk to Akihabara. The guests have to leave their shoes in a locker at the entrance, also everyone is provided with a pyjama-like suit (I think it is called yukata), but it is not mandatory to wear it, although it is in fact more comfortable to wear it rather than one's outdoor clothes. There is also a nice bathhouse...

Convenient hotel near Yushima station. The check-in time is from 3pm and check-out should be before 10am if you don’t want to be charged extra hour fee (even 1min late). There is a locker room and public bath on ground floor, each room floor has toilets which quite clean and well equipped. The capsule size is ok, there is a TV inside with few channels especially adult channel (common in Japan). In...

They have a nice bathhouse in the basement. Capsules do feel a bit small. Lockers are small, but you can put your stuff in your capsule or outside of it. Would book again, it's an authentic Japanese experience.

Make sure to learn japanese a bit😁

Great hostel, spotless and quiet. Good location. Rooms were a bit cold at night though, but apart from that it’s a good place to spend a few nights in Fukuoka.

It is good hotel for the youth and young couple

It was a nice stay, people were typically quiet. It was definitely a lot of people there in the same room, but most people were very respectful. The breakfast was also really nice to start your day off well (toast, vegetable juice and some cereal I think). They also have a large book of their recommended places to visit/where to eat if you want to browse. Overall nice hostel, although a bit too many...

Loved the location; it’s a 5-minute walk from the nearest subway (Nakasu-Kawabata station). It’s also near Tenjin area. Eating and drinking are not allowed in the room; encouraged to eat and drink at the lounge on level 9. The lounge has a kitchen (complete with stove, cooking utensils, oven toaster, microwave and fridge) so you can cook or heat up your food there. They also have some brochures...

Very recommended for solo traveller's with high guest standards and very good safety and security measurement.

we recently stayed at Webase Hostel and had an overall pleasant experience. The room and bathroom were both very clean, which made my stay comfortable and relaxing. The cleanliness of the facilities is definitely a highlight, and everything felt well-maintained and tidy. The staff at the hostel were also incredibly welcoming and friendly. They were always ready to help and made the check-in process...

Best at this price. Hostel condition and management procedures are up to expectation. Shared dormitory is not easy for big luggage users if allocated upper deck. Location is perfect for shopping, dining or moving around to say trip or next destination, almost all reachable like a few hundred metres. Enjoyed the corner gyoza sho, juicy gyoza with draft beer very much, small and cosy yet not pricy

Great location, right in the Kawabata-dori shopping arcade, but the facilities are a bit old. The bed creaks loudly when you lie down.

Close to the train station, centrally located between Tenjin and Hakata, and near a 24-hour Don Quijote. The area isn't isolated, and the accommodation is clean. Highly recommend for budget travelers!

Good place to stay, will make a reservation again for the next visit

Friendly staff, close to metro station, kitchen for all needs. Nice and clean.

Great location, budget friendly and very nice staff.

An amazing experience! My first time in a traditional Ryokan and I couldn't be happier. The Fuji view is top-tier. Plus, there’s a great late-night snack spot nearby that’s both delicious and affordable. I was especially impressed by the staff, the place was spotless. Honestly, it’s the cleanest hotel I’ve ever stayed in. The only downside was that the bathroom was a bit too cold for my liking (since...

This hostel is in a quiet area. It’s about 15 to 20 minutes walk from Kawaguchiko station. Bus service is no so frequent; I usually waited about 20 to 30 minutes. The plus side is it has a big kitchen and sitting area. The temperature in the dorm room with the heater that I was staying was perfect. I had good sleep for the 3 nights, when I was staying there. I do recommend this hostel for solo...

Alright hostel. Toilets are clean enough, but there seems to be a perpetual smell of pee on the men's toilet. Showers are clean and are equipped with hair- and bodyproducts. Only 2 showers per floor, so it would assume not everyone gets the chance to use them during rush hours. Especially during peak season. Beds are alright. Thick blanket, which is very nice. You have to make your own bed, so keep...

I absolutely loved this place, the staff and guests were all so welcoming and compared to the capsule hostels ive stayed at in japan this place really felt like a home. the kitchen was one of the best ive seen when its comes to hostels, it really has everything you need and is kept extremely organised and clean which I really appreciate! the location was very convenient if you dont mind a short 15...

We are not hostel people at all, but here booking a private room with private bathroom was the perfect decision. Loved every single night here and we stayed for four nights. It was quiet at all times, very spacious with amazing shared facilities, laundry, an amazingly huge and well equipped kitchen, cozy hang out and dining space. Everything was spotlessly clean. The staff mainly long term volunteers...

We had an amazing time! The staff was the best. Helped us with bikes (which you can rent at the hostel). Gave us tips about where to eat and what to do. And they were very nice. The room was really cool and clean. 1000/10.

It's good that there are capsules for women only. It's an older facility and there are various restrictions, but since accommodation costs are rising, I think it's good for a room-only stay. It was nice that there was a bath, sauna, and laundry available.

Very convenient, I'd like to come back when I visit Fukuoka.

A very good hotel, convenient for travel, good service, and high cost performance. Good quality and low price, recommended for traveling to Tokyo.

The space is relatively small and there is a sense of oppression. Maybe this is what capsule hotels are like. Don't expect too much!

If you have large luggage, you need to use a coin locker. There are many rules for check-in. The hotel is relatively strict in its management. The beds are clean. There are many restaurants around. It is quite convenient.

The large bathhouse and sauna were very comfortable. The location is very close to the JR Yamanote Line station. Excellent geographical location. The only downside is that the capsule is a bit hot inside.
