Japan Hostel Guide

Many friends ask me recommendation place to stay in Japan. Karena kita berlima masih muda, anaknya berdompet backpacker tapi bawa koper (terus gw nyesel bawa koper karena ditinggal sama petugas pesawat, walaupun isi koper cuma setengah) - kita sempet galau dan bimbang pilih hostel atau coba airbnb. Dengan pertimbangan ini itu yaitu lokasi yang mudah diakses terutama dekat stasiun, harga, dan centilnya kita karena pengen bobo di ruangan yang ala-ala haha. Akhirnya pilihan jatuh kepada...

Osaka

Address: 6 Chome-12-13 Fukushima, Fukushima Ward, Osaka, Osaka Prefecture, Japan
Access: around 2 minutes walking distance from JR Osaka Station
Type of Room: Room E 5-person (Family) Private Tatami Room
Price: 19,000 Yen/night
+ Kamarnya lucu aja gitu kaya kamar di komik-komik Jepang, bobo pake tatami, nyamaaan
+ Semua ruangannya bersih dan interiornya lucu terutama di Lounge Area
+ Kamar mandinya juga bersih, mereka nyediain handuk, sabun dan shampoo. Berharga banget buat gw yang kopernya ditinggal sama pesawat :(
+ Common kitchen nya juga lengkap & bersih, they provide free coffee, tea and seasoning
+ Ada Laundry & Vending Machine, mereka juga jual cemilan dan ramen. You can ask their staff
+ The staffs are friendly, helpful and fluent in English! Some are good looking hehe, terutama managernya yang disenengin sama temen-temen gw :)) Tapi mereka emang baik kok, selalu kasih kabar status koper gw yang ilang dan gotongin sampe kamar :D
+ My favorite hostel in Japan!
- Slightly more expensive than others but worth it

- They don't provide baggage delivery to airport yang berakibat drama gerek-gerek koper dan belanjaan :(
- Fully equipped kitchen, free drinks but kitchen is a bit messy because some guests didn't clean up after using. Tolong kak ini hostel bukan hotel :(

Sayangnya Lupa ambil foto dimari hehe


Tokyo

Address: 3-15-1 NishiAsakusa, Taito-ku, Tokyo
Access: 1 minute walk from Asakusa Station (Tsukuba Express Line) or 10 minute walk from Asakusa Station (Metro Ginza Line) or 12 minute walk from Asakusa Station (Toei Asakusa Line)
Type of Room: Deluxe 6 Bed Mixed Dorm 
Price: 18,000 Yen/night
+ Strategic location, near Asakusa favorite attraction and shopping streets. Jadi gampang banget cari jajanan yang murah 
+ Rooms are thematic, sayang kita ga dapet yang lucu-lucu gitu. The mixed dorm is ok though
+ Ada manga room! 
+ Slightly the same as Khaosan World Hostel in Kyoto, kitchen is cleaner
+ They have a small bar where everybody can karaoke and get free beer at night
- For those who have JR Pass: the Tsukuba Express Line, Metro Ginza Line and Toei Line are not covered by JR but the fare is still cheap. Tapi lumayan uangnya dikumpulin buat jajan es haha

 3:00 AM, manga :))
manga room. sorry a bit blurry


Osaka

Address: 557-0004 Osaka Prefecture, Osaka, Nishinari-ku Haginochaya 1-2-20, Jepang
Access: less than 1 minute walk from JR Shin Imamiya station
Type of Room: Capsule Room - Non Smoking
Price: 1,800 Yen/night
+ Strategic location just beside the station. Dekat dengan Kansai Airport juga, kita pilih disini karena emang gak mau tidur di bandara 
+ Spacey for a capsule room. Kebayangnya hostel kapsul itu yang sempit kaya peti seperti biasanya, tapi yang ini masih berbentuk ruangan.
+ Cheap. Mursidah dibanding hostel yang lain tapi sebanding sama kualitasnya
- Bathroom is not provided in each floor
- Poor and dirty kitchen
- It looks very old and depressing. Sedih banget deh kakaaa :/
- Uncomfortable environment. Untungnya cuma semalem disini dan lokasinya di samping stasiun jalan dikit, kita sampe disini hampir tengah malem dan besok paginya check out. Lingkungannya semacem daerah kota tua di Jakarta yang kumuh dan tua. Ga rapi dan bersih kaya lingkungan yang kita kunjungin sebelumnya :(

Yah hidup itu emang penuh pilihan, semua ada positif dan negatifnya. Bagaimana denganmu?
