Hostels in Aichi Prefecture, Japan

I stayed for 3 nights at the Wasabi Hostel Nagoya. I took the Nohi Bus from Takayama, which took about 2 hours and 30 minutes to reach its final destination, the Meitetsu Nagoya Bus Terminal. The fare was 3600 yen. Using Google Maps, it was about a 700-meter, 10-minute walk to the hostel. Actually, getting off at JR Station would have been closer, but I wanted to check the Meitetsu train schedules to Atsuta Jingu and Chubu Centrair International Airport, as well as the Meitetsu bus to Matsumoto. Being my first time in Nagoya, the different lines and companies were quite confusing and disorienting. _The hostel is located near a transportation hub, surrounded by various shopping malls, restaurants, convenience stores, and supermarkets, making daily life very convenient. It's also relatively easy to get to attractions like Osu Kannon, Oasis 21, and Nagoya Castle by subway. I stayed in a female-only dormitory on the fifth floor, which had about 30 beds. The beds were spacious, and the bedding was soft and comfortable. Each bed had a safe with Chinese instructions, as well as an outlet, a bedside lamp, and a small TV. Due to the overall space constraints of the hostel, the aisles between the beds were very cramped. There was a small luggage room. On the fifth floor, there were 3 shower rooms and 2 toilets, providing facial cleanser, shower gel, shampoo, and body lotion. There was a self-service coin-operated washing machine for 200 yen per wash and a dryer for 100 yen for 30 minutes. Toothbrushes, toothpaste, bath towels, and slippers all had to be purchased separately. There was a common lounge area on the first floor where everyone's shoes had to be placed in shoe lockers. The first floor also had a refrigerator, microwave, and oven, and complimentary miso soup and tea were provided. The staff were gentle and friendly, providing thoughtful and enthusiastic service; despite me not knowing English or Japanese, they patiently explained everything to me. What confused me was that having traveled to Japan multiple times and stayed in many hostels, guesthouses, or hotels, this was the only place where the shower water pressure was low. I don't know if it was only on the fifth floor during peak water usage hours at night, but for me, this was the biggest drawback. Overall, if you're traveling solo in Nagoya and looking for an affordable and convenient place to stay, this hostel offers good value for money.

The room is relatively simple, and the building itself is relatively old, and it looks like it is 40-50 years old. The old lady at the front desk is very enthusiastic, and at this age, she is still very enthusiastic about work. I admire her. The sound insulation of the room is not very good. It is about 1 km away from Nagoya JR Station. If you walk, it will take about 10 minutes. Shopping, eating, and transportation are very convenient around Nagoya Station. The biggest disadvantage of the hotel is that the wifi signal is too poor. Whether it is the hotel’s own WIFI (it can’t be used at all, it’s the same as not having it) or the WIFI you brought from China, the signal is very poor. If you are in a hurry, you will go crazy. Toothpaste, bath towels, slippers, all available. But the price is relatively affordable. Overall score 3.5 points

Location is about 1.km from Kyoto train station by foot and there is no restaurant nearby the hostel. Room is clean and spacious

The room is very clean, the bed is moderately soft and hard, the location is very close to Daxu Guanyin, it is very convenient, there is no parking lot, it is troublesome to find a parking lot if you drive, but the overall experience is still very good, the owner is also very enthusiastic, introduced us to the delicious shops nearby, it is a worthwhile trip

It’s a nice guesthouse divided between two building. There are many amenities, in the check-in building there is a nice cafe with coffee and food. It is close to subway and several nice cocktail bars. The only drawback was insects in the capsules that bit me :( should be desinfected.

This hotel is very good location, it's beside of Osu market, a 4-minute walk to Kamimazsu Station. It's very convenient location, full of shopping places, and restaurants. The hotel is very clean and warmly welcomed by the reception staff. The capsule in each room is good security by the digital lock door 🚪, I can stay here with nice sleep. There are vending machine in front of hostel, it's all convenient.

This is the second time I stayed at the Shochikumei Hotel. The hotel seems to be a renovation of the former workers' dormitory. It is within a ten-minute walk from Nagoya Station. It is two stops away from Sakae Station, and the transportation is very convenient. The hotel room is small, but very clean, and disposable toothbrushes and slippers are provided. The bathroom and toilet are public, relatively clean and sanitary. I will stay here again next time, mainly because it is cost-effective.
