Nara
Hilo Hostel is located in Nara, within less than 1 km of Nara Station and 18 km of Iwafune Shrine. Featuring a shared lounge, this 3-star hostel has air-conditioned rooms with a shared bathroom. The accommodation provides a shared kitchen and free WiFi. Very clean, friendly and welcoming staff were a highlight of Nara for us. Some travellers to chat with in the well furnished kitchen and common room downstairs. Right next to Nara train station. Nice walk to Nara park from the property past many restaurants and stores. Glad I stayed in here in Nara rather than doing a day trip.
Nara
Located in Nara and with Nara Station reachable within 1.3 km, Yuzan Guesthouse provides a garden, non-smoking rooms, free WiFi throughout the property and a terrace. This 1-star hostel offers a shared kitchen and luggage storage space. Nippon Christ Kyodan Shijonawate Church is 22 km from the hostel and Shijonawate City Museum of History and Folklore is 22 km away.
The hostel offers certain rooms that include a safety deposit box, and each room has a shared bathroom with a shower and a hairdryer.
If you are lucky enough that Yuzan has an opening book it! It is a lovely Japanese 100 year old house the owners have converted to a guesthouse/hostel. It feels like you are staying in a home. The owners are friendly and speak English well. We arrived 3.5 before check-in but my husband was very sick with a head cold. They kindly cleaned our room quickly so my husband could lie down. There is a full kitchen to use with stove top, microwave, fridge, dishes, coffee and tea all day. There is a lovely lounge area to use. There are shared toilets and showers but I never had to wait for either and the water is hot. Wifi worked great. Their breakfast to order is only 600Y with eggs, toast, yogurt and jam/butter.
Yuzan is located minutes from the train station and we walked to all the sights within Nara Park. I highly recommend this guesthouse!
Nakagyo Ward, Kyoto
All rooms at Piece Hostel Sanjo are air conditioned. Some units come with a private shower room and toilet, while there are shared shower rooms and toilets for other guests at the property. Bed linens and towels are provided free of charge. Female-only dormitory rooms are available. I like the bed because it has twin beds separarely, because usually other hotel in japan has twin beds but not sepatarately so it is kind of weirds when you sleep especially traveling with friends.

I had a great stay at PIECE Hostel Sanjo. Central location next to Nishiki market, Pontocho Alley and several restaurants and shops. I booked a bed in a female shared dormitory. Comfy and intimate bed, with a safe to store valuable items if needed. Only women toilet and shower also available. I would definitely recommend it!!
Good value budget hotel. Great location for accessibility to the rail stations and cheap restaurants. My next hotel was 3 times the price and half as good.
It was my second time staying here. Great location, friendly staff and very cheap. Previously I stayed in a superior capsule and I was surprised at how much space you have. This time I stayed in a standard capsule in the female dormitory and the bed area is quite spacious. The facilities are also very clean. I would definitely give this a go if you're going to Osaka for a short stay.
Very clean, well presented rooms. Had the family room which was a good size for 4 adults. It would be perfect for families with kids that want a cheap stay. Check in is all self managed. Once we had checked in on the tablet, the receptionist called to confirm we had all the room details, great service. Communal area and balcony was very clean and usable. Didn’t hear any other guests. It’s thin line between hostel and hotel. Very close to all the main markets too.
I stayed at bunk bed for 2 nights. Modern hostel with great facilities and great location. Bed was comfortable & we can use extra pillow for free. Coffee & tea, towels also free! Very recommended !
nice hostel with very nice and kind staff, great location and generally great place for traveler on budget. I liked it a lot, nice hostel.
Very backpacker hostel vibes. Place is basically run by volunteers, this isn’t a bad thing but just know what to expect. Kitchen is good, common area easy to meet people. Super cheap, overall a decent stay, although personally wouldn’t be my first choice.
Lovely stay at Amanohashidate Youth Hostel, great welcoming, dormitory was clean and cosy, délicious breakfast and fantastic view from the common space. I will definitely recommand it !
Extremely cheap backpacker style accommodation especially considering that it is private rooms rather then bunk beds. Futons are surprisingly comfortable. Common room seemed to be quite busy most nights if you are the social type. Pretty good location, 15 minutes or so from Namba Station. Easy enough location to get around. "Poorer" area so provides an interesting and different look into Japanese life, always felt safe though. Several convince stores nearby to buy water and a breakfast bento on your way out sightseeing.
