Frequently asked questions about hostels in Japan

  • What are the most affordable attractions for backpackers to visit?

Temples and shrines like Meiji Jingu Shrine in Tokyo or Fushimi Inari-taisha in Kyoto are stunning and free to enter. Many beautiful parks, such as Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden (though it has a small entrance fee), offer tranquil escapes. Wandering through vibrant neighbourhoods like Harajuku in Tokyo or Pontocho in Kyoto is also free and offers a great cultural experience. Taking advantage of free walking tours in major cities is another excellent way to save money and learn about the local culture.
  • What are the best hostels in Japan?

    Among the hostels in Japan, Maisan-chi Pod-style 4 Bunk Bed Mixed Dormitory, Hakonehostel1914 and Guesthouse Itoya Kyoto are the most popular ones.

  • How easy is it to navigate the roads in Japan?

    Navigating roads in Japan can be challenging for those unfamiliar with driving on the left. The road system is generally well-maintained, but signage might not always be in English. Public transport is highly efficient and reliable, making it a much more convenient option for travellers, especially in major cities.
  • What are the best hostels for families and kids in Japan?

    The best hostels for families and kids in Japan are Couch Potato Hostel, Hostel Sui Kyoto and Grapehouse Koenji.

  • How can travellers best respect local customs while in Japan?

    Respecting Japanese customs enhances your travel experience. Bowing is a common greeting; removing your shoes before entering homes and some restaurants is customary; queuing politely is essential; and being mindful of noise levels, especially on public transport, is appreciated. Learning basic Japanese phrases like 'arigato' (thank you) and 'sumimasen' (excuse me) goes a long way.
  • What are the best pet friendly hostels in Japan?

  • What are the key emergency contacts for medical or safety concerns in Japan?

    For medical emergencies, dial 119. For police, dial 110. It's advisable to have the phone numbers of your embassy or consulate readily available.
  • What are the best hostels with parking in Japan?

  • What are the best areas to spend a week in Japan?

    A week allows for exploring multiple areas. A popular itinerary combines Tokyo (for modern and traditional aspects), Kyoto (for ancient temples and gardens), and perhaps a day trip to Nara to see its famous deer park. Alternatively, focusing on a specific region, like exploring the Japanese Alps for hiking or the Kansai region for its rich cultural heritage, offers a deeper immersion.
  • What are the best areas to spend a weekend in Japan?

    For a weekend, concentrate on one major city. Tokyo offers a vast array of experiences, from the trendy Shibuya crossing to the serene Meiji Jingu Shrine. Kyoto provides a more traditional experience with its beautiful temples and geishas. Osaka is known for its vibrant street food and Dotonbori entertainment district.
  • Are there specific regions in Japan known for great weather?

    Japan's weather varies greatly by region and season. The southern islands of Kyushu and Okinawa generally have warmer weather year-round, while areas like Hokkaido in the north experience colder winters and cooler summers. Spring and autumn offer pleasant temperatures across much of the country.
