Hostels in Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan

This guesthouse was incredibly cozy and felt just like home. At check-in, they carefully explained everything I needed to know. I stayed in the women's-only dormitory room, which I believe was a 6-person room with three bunk beds. I had the bottom bunk. There were no locks, but there were sturdy curtains for privacy. Even though it was a cold day, the room was warm, and having a light above the bed made for a comfortable stay. Everyone seemed to be considerate and kept quiet. Eating and drinking weren't allowed on the bed, but it wasn't an issue as the ground floor had a cozy cafe (pictured) where you could relax freely. I read a bit in bed and then slept soundly. When I mentioned at check-out that I was visiting Enoshima, they told me about taking a boat, which made my trip much more enjoyable than planned. Luggage storage after check-out was also cheaper than using a locker, and I enjoyed the interaction. I'd love to stay here again if I get the chance. Shared rooms are very affordable and highly recommended for solo travelers.

This would be a convenient choice for a short business trip lasting a few days. Plus, there's a vibrant Chinatown nearby, bustling with great evening food options.

非常好的旅店！強烈推薦！在居民區裏靠近海岸，很安靜（有23：00熄燈的規定，但對我而言完全可以接受），氛圍復古有格調，讓人感到很舒適。公共區域有多種茶和咖啡可供選擇。工作人員（可以這樣稱呼嗎？）的英語不錯，而且非常友善。在早晨，一位工作人員耐心的教我如何用公共區域的工具製作一杯手衝咖啡。牀鋪的空間並不大，但也並不侷促，睡的很舒服。和同住的房客們交流也非常令人愉快。旅店還提供租單車的服務，可以一路向南騎往逗子游覽。不過並不提供免費的毛巾和洗漱用具，這可能是需要注意的地方。 總而言之，這裏給我留下的深刻的印象。如果您想避開遊客，尋找一個可以安静又感受當地社區氛圍的旅舍，請一定要考慮這裏！

The hostel is located on the second floor of an apartment building. The room is very new and overall very comfortable and very clean with a cozy lobby. Compared to other youth hostels I stayed in, there were particularly many Western tourists carrying large hiking bags. Since the business district of Odawara City is concentrated around the station, there are few restaurants and supermarkets near the hostel, and there are no washers and dryers provided. It takes you approximately 8 minutes to walk to the laundry and the centered area of the city. But overall it is still very comfortable, and it is recommended for solo travelers! 旅館位於一棟公寓2樓，房間非常新且整體很舒適、非常乾淨，大廳很舒服。相比於我住的其他青年旅館，背著大登山包的西方旅客特別多。 由於小田原市的商圈比較集中在車站一代，旅館附近比較少餐廳和超市，也沒有附設洗烘衣機，需要走路8分鐘到洗衣店。但整體還是很舒服，推薦獨旅旅客來居住！

Had a wonderful stay at Hare-Tabi! I don’t speak Japanese but the staffs were so helpful using body language + translator to make everything happen! Unlike other capsule hotels where you only have a bed size area to yourself, Hare-Tabi allows you with a bit storage/ leg room next to the bed! Not to mention about their free sauna service included in your package ! It provides the best relaxation before/after a day of exploration around Yokohama China town. You will find some quiet time to yourself using their services here. I’m sure you will enjoy the stay or even purely just the sauna service here!

It was funny to see a bunk bed hostel in such an expensive area like Myeongdong or Garosu-gil, but the facilities were clean and nice. There were some issues, like narrow passageways and steep stairs, but there's no place in this expensive neighborhood or strategically located in Yokohama that offers that kind of price.

☀️ When i first arrived, i thought i was at the wrong place - i‘ve never booked something so nice for myself before! 🪲PROS - chill 4 people bedrooms, with a comfy bed and a big personal shelf + locker and a fridge for the room - clean facilities and rooms - towel, toothpaste/toothpaste and yukata were provided as well as shampoo and showergel - the common room was so cozy and nice, with tea and water always at the ready and a great view of the garden - i was satisfied with both the dinner and breakfast and the price was fairly cheap (~1200¥ or a bit more, depending on your choices) - PRIVATE ONSEN that you can book for around 50minutes at night and can use in the morning if nobody else is already using it (costs around 150¥ per use) - there is a shuttle bus going at pretty regular times in the morning. They offer a ride to both Gora-Station or Hakone-Open-Air-Museum! 🩸CONS - far from the city-centre/train station 🌱 i really enjoyed my stay. I had cool roomies that became travel companions and absolutely loved the inn, the onsen, the food and the kind staff! Definitely a recommendation if you ever decide to stay in Hakone - i would book again!

We had all the necessary services and had a great time. After all, the location is outstanding. I was also happy to be able to provide a clean environment. I was also happy that it was unexpectedly quiet. thank you very much.

この様なタイプは、初めてでしたが段々とよくなりました。 ただ階段が、足には大変でした 疲れて爆睡しました。

The location is fantastic – definitely the biggest highlight of this place. The building itself is a charming wooden structure. The room was adequate, a bit small, but perfectly fine as we only needed it for sleeping. The shared bathroom was clean. Slippers were not provided, and there was an extra charge for towels or luggage storage. On the day we checked out, a very strange thing happened: a completely naked man was sleeping on the sofa in the common area. I'm not sure if he was a guest. He remained there, sleeping, for a few hours. Perhaps the property needs better supervision?
