Located around 40 km from Rinno-ji Temple, the hostel with free WiFi is also 40 km away from Futarasan Shrine. The property is non-smoking and is located 40 km from Nikko Toshogu Shrine. I have stayed in many guesthouses before, and this is one of the shared houses I like the most. It is very clean and comfortable. The common space is also cozy. It is very close to Utsunomiya Station and just a 2-minute walk to the best gyoza restaurant in Utsunomiya. The host is very nice. If I visit Utsunomiya again, I will definitely stay at this guesthouse. Highly recommended!

Featuring a terrace, bar and views of river, Hostel Chapter Two Tokyo is located in Tokyo, 100 metres from Asakusa Station. Featuring a shared lounge, the 2-star hostel has air-conditioned rooms with free WiFi, each with a shared bathroom. The property is non-smoking and is set 200 metres from Komagatado. It's very convenient due to it's close proximity to Asakusa station. There is a lawson near, where you can get some snacks otw back to the hostel. The bathroom is always kept clean. Don't be too worried about the safety of your personal belongings because there is a large enough safety deposit box inside your pod which you can fit your wallet, a macbook 13 inch. Not a DSLR for sure. There is space to put ur bag inside the pod too. But the luggage has to be put outside. Just lock it and it will be fine. Kei san has been really friendly and accommodating . Really appreciated his time to chat with me!

Attractively set in the Nakano district of Tokyo, GrapeHouse Koenji is situated 500 metres from Keimei Park, less than 1 km from Yamato Park and a 8-minute walk from Mabashi Park. Featuring a shared lounge, the 1-star hostel has air-conditioned rooms with free WiFi, each with a shared bathroom. The accommodation features a shared kitchen, and luggage storage for guests. So clean, they clean everyday and it’s always spotless. The host is so lovely. Her dog is so cute and friendly too! Sometimes he’ll greet you at the door, this meant so much to me especially when I was missing my dog at home. The neighborhood is AMAZING. I love Koenji so much. A perfect, calm getaway from the city with still plenty of things to do. Great restaurants, thrifting, karaoke, parks, and Japanese vibes. Also Nakano is a 20 min walk away and they have a mall with Uniqlo and everything else you’d need. It’s easy to meet other people and make friends! Women-only was awesome and made me feel really safe. I can’t wait to go back and spend my entire Japan trip here. I shouldn’t have bothered with any other hotels. Nothing compares to Grapehouse Koenji!
