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！

There was no counter service when I checked in, only instructions in the envelope. I only received an email after I checked out asking me to fill in basic check-in information. What I am dissatisfied with is that the instructions in the envelope can use a highlighter or blue pen to clearly mark the parts that need to be filled in, and include a pen for filling in the information, so that people who are not familiar with the process and foreign languages ​​can immediately understand that this document must be filled out. The email that contacted me to fill in the information afterwards did not tell me which platform to use to reply correctly. This forced me to sacrifice a lot of extra time to study on top of my busy schedule, and I didn't even know if my information had been submitted correctly. All these inconsiderate and rude services made me waste a lot of time after checking out, and I felt very unhappy about it.

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!

no gender separation, so make sure you’re fine with it before making a reservation. other than that, they have a lounge, clean toilets and showers, so it’s great. experience depends on the people you stay with since some guests make loud noises. and there are no staffs to make them quiet for you.

☀️ 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!

A good clean and cozy hostel to stay in Yokohama Chinatown area. Owner is helpful and friendly..Speak a little Chinese but that's OK. Fluent in English matters more. Not advisable to bring big luggage here as for most cases of hostel stay in Japan.

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?
