Frequently asked questions about hostels in Japan

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

    For budget-conscious travellers, exploring Japan's free offerings is a great way to start. Many temples and shrines, such as Senso-ji Temple in Tokyo or Fushimi Inari-taisha in Kyoto, are free to enter, though donations are appreciated. Wandering through beautiful parks like Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden (though there's an entrance fee) or strolling along the Philosopher's Path in Kyoto offers stunning scenery without breaking the bank. Free walking tours in major cities provide a fantastic introduction to the culture and history. Remember to factor in the cost of public transport, which is generally efficient and affordable.
  • What are the best hostels in Japan?

    Among the hostels in Japan, Maisan-chi Pod-style 4 Bunk Bed Mixed Dormitory, Yuzan Guesthouse and Couch Potato Hostel are the most popular ones.

  • Which airports handle most of the air traffic to and from Japan?

    Narita International Airport (NRT) and Haneda Airport (HND), both serving Tokyo, handle the vast majority of international flights. Kansai International Airport (KIX) near Osaka is another significant hub.
  • What are the best hostels with a pool in Japan?

    Earth Hostel ~ The Riverhouse, Sakura Guest House and Guest House Kyoto Inn are the best hostels with a pool in Japan.

  • What currency is needed for Japan?

    The Japanese yen (JPY) is the currency used in Japan.
  • What are the best hostels with a jacuzzi in Japan?

    The best hostels with a jacuzzi in Japan are Piece Hostel Kyoto, Guest House Kura and Piece Hostel Sanjo.

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

    Driving in Japan can be challenging for those unfamiliar with the system. Roads can be narrow, parking is often limited and expensive, and the signage might not always be intuitive to those who don't read Japanese. Public transport, however, is incredibly efficient and extensive, making it the preferred method of travel for most visitors.
  • 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?

    Respectful behaviour in Japan involves things like bowing instead of shaking hands, removing your shoes before entering homes and some restaurants, and queuing politely. Being mindful of noise levels on public transport and in public spaces is also important. Learning a few basic Japanese phrases, such as 'arigato' (thank you) and 'sumimasen' (excuse me), goes a long way in showing respect.
  • What are the best pet friendly hostels in Japan?

  • Which traditional festivals define the spirit of Japan?

    Several festivals showcase Japan's rich culture. The Sanja Matsuri in Tokyo, a vibrant three-day event with portable shrines, is a highlight. The Gion Matsuri in Kyoto, known for its elaborate floats, is another significant festival. Many smaller, local festivals celebrate harvests or specific deities, offering a glimpse into regional traditions.
  • What are the best hostels with parking in Japan?

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

    For medical emergencies, dial 119. For police or fire emergencies, dial 110. It's advisable to have the numbers for your embassy or consulate readily available.
  • What are the best areas to spend a week in Japan?

    A week allows for a good balance. One option is to split your time between Tokyo (exploring areas like Shibuya, Shinjuku, and Asakusa) and Kyoto (visiting temples, shrines, and Gion), incorporating a bullet train journey between them. Alternatively, you could focus on a specific region, such as exploring the Kansai region, which includes Osaka, Nara, and Kyoto.
  • What are the best areas to spend a weekend in Japan?

    For a short trip, focusing on one major city is best. Tokyo offers a vast array of things to see and do, from the vibrant Shibuya crossing to the serene Meiji Jingu Shrine. Kyoto, with its traditional architecture and numerous temples, is another excellent choice for a weekend getaway. Osaka is also a good choice, balancing modern attractions with historical sites.
  • Are there specific regions known for great weather?

    Japan experiences diverse climates. The southern islands like Okinawa generally have subtropical weather, with warm temperatures year-round. Areas in the Kansai region, including Kyoto and Osaka, have pleasant weather in spring and autumn. However, it's important to check the specific forecast before travelling, as weather patterns can vary.
