8 Bed Mixed Dorm - Friendly Guesthouse near USJ
Really great place to stay! Close to the station and to USJ! I will definitely be staying here again for my future overnight visits to Osaka!

Annex Riverside Private FREE ROUNDTRIP TRANSPORT
Scout is an excellent host who runs an amazing Japanese-style hostel. The location is fantastic, especially if you want to escape the bustling city of Tokyo for a while. Having a car would be convenient, but Scout’s shuttle service ensures that you can still explore the area easily. Thank you for the wonderful stay and breakfast, Scout!

Tsudoi guest house/Guide
Yuto-san is very nice and the dorm convial! They're always here to answer questions or make recommendations! If you are visiting Unzen-onsen I recommend staying there ^^

**4-5ppl**Japanese room with shared bath
A nice accommodation, with a lot of equipment in the kitchen like fresh coffee, snacks etc. The check-in was very flexible and smooth. We were able to reserve a free parking space before checking in. Also the receptionist was very friendly and had a lot of good tips for restaurants and activities in the area. All in all a great and good value stay if you don’t want to spend too much!

Mixed dormitory room for up to 5 guests
Amazing hostel! Amenities were generally very clean and accessible. Beds were very comfortable. Close to many forms of transport.

[Private room 4Beds] Available for 1 person Wakayama Castle Onsen Bicycle rental Free WiFi
The room was spotless and spacious for a solo traveller like me. Hiroko even picked me up from the train station and dropped me off there when I was leaving. This is one of the few best among my many AirBnB stays. This is more than 5 stars in my view and I'd give 10 if possible. I'll definitely book it again in my next Wakayama trip. Thanks Hiroko!

Family-owned suite/private room
I had dinner in Takamatsu City on the day of my stay, so I arrived late, but the owner welcomed me warmly. There was one 2-year-old child, and they played with us and did a great job. Thank you very much. I will stay again if I have the opportunity.

Amanohashidate, Ine, Miyazu Guest House, Hachihouse ①
We had really good sleep, despite having 3-4 guests around. We love the thick fluffy comforters and the curtains gave good privacy. The location was walking distance to Mipple Mall (where the pier was) and there were also great places to eat. Buses were hourly, so we ended up asking Nana to book us taxis and it was such a great way to move around. Taxi to Amanohashidate Station was about USD12 and Miyazu Station was USD7. Highly recommended to stay with Nana and my family will surely stay here again if we come by this area again.

WIND VILLA : 4-Bed Dormitory (Women Only)
A wonderful place to make your base camp while exploring Kyoto and the surrounding area! Conveniently located right in the city, with tons to do right outside the door.

HAOSTAY OTSUKA 205, 7-minute walk to Tokyo Otsuka station, most convenient in Tokyo/twin room
The location was amazing, and the accommodation was clean and the warm water came out well, so I had a really good rest for 3 nights and 4 days!!

Bunk Bed in Female Dormitory Room
Great value for money. Very clean. Bathroom, toilet, and sink are all sufficient. It was full when we went, there were almost 20 people. The sound insulation is poor, so people who are very particular about their sleeping environment should be careful. Other than that, everything is fine!

La Casa 203 , very close to the Kyoto station
The interior and facilities are very clean, the toilet and bathroom are separate but shared and very clean. If I have a chance, I might choose this place again.

AsahikawaRide Mixed Dorm A (8 Beds Shared Room)
This is my first time using this type of accommodation, but I'm satisfied because the owners are kind, the interior is neat, and the cat is cute. I had a good stay.

Double Private Room with Ensuite – Good Location
The staff was very nice and they give you a lot of information about near places, restaurants and walks.

Nomad Hostel East/ Single Private Room-Bunkbed #4
Very quiet, other residents are very polite and don't disturb each other. The house looks beautiful, I hope to stay here again next time💗

Double room, shared bathroom, nearJR Fukushima
A pleasant trip to Fukushima. Atsushi is a very kind and considerate host. The accommodation offers almost everything you might need for a short stay, including a toothbrush, body sponge, hair dryer, toner, and more. There are even heaters in the bathroom and washroom. The location is close to Fukushima Station and easy to find. Highly recommended!
Monthly hostel rentals

Female dormitory room A (Nara city)
I stayed here for a month and the inn is conveniently located between Kintetsu Nara and JR Nara. The owner of the inn is quite kind, the amenities are fully equipped, and the environment is kept quite clean, and the stay is comfortable ~ Highly recommended for traveling to Nara, or even people traveling around Kansai to live (^ ^)

【Mixed】 Dormitory Room【Long Stay? Big Discount!】
The Matoi hostel was a great place to stay, it isn’t too far from Gunma Soja station but they also provide a shuttle bus to get you to the hostel. The staff were very helpful and friendly and gave pretty good recommendations. The hostel itself has a bar on the ground floor of which we got given 4 free drinks tickets which was a greatly appreciated bonus. Thanks for the stay 😁

Castle-Adjacent Comfort Dorm Bed, 1min supermarket
The place is nice. The location is good and the staff is friendly. Recommend

☆Seawall Hostel☆Compact Private Room/Clean&Fresh!
Nice hostel type of stay! I stayed in the Compact private room so I didn’t have to shared with anyone but the hostel was very friendly, even met a couple of the other residents and went out to eat breakfast with them! Very very safe and nice walkable place or taxi able!

6 Bed Female Dorm -Resort Guesthouse near lakeside
Stayed here for 4 nights in the female dormitory. I loved the place, surrounded by green fields, mountains and it was quiet and had a great weather to walk around. It was a bit far from the station (Omi-Maiko Station) like 15-20 minutes walk. There are not a lot to do around, but it was easy to take the train to Nara and Kyoto. I loved the hostel, it had everything I need. It has a restaurant in the first floor. They do sell snacks/food in the reception. I recommend staying here if you like the countryside vibes.

Only 5 min. from A-bomb Dome! A bed in a DORM
I enjoyed my time at Hazz’s place and I would be happy to stay there again! The rooms were clean and quiet, but you can socialize in the common are if you want. The location was great - very walkable and close to public transit too. Great stay!

1 Bed in Shared Room with 5 Bunkbeds Yokohama
It’s really walkable to the major attractions in the area, easy to shop around too
