Hana Hostel

-General introduction-
Hana Hostel started the business in August 2008. The building used to be a local “business hotel”. We remodeled this into an advanced international hostel. As we are very close from the station and the guest rooms are well-equipped, we are a good option for not only backpackers but also for ordinary tourists with suits cases.
The operator is J-Hoppers Ltd, which has been running 3 hostels in Kyoto, Osaka and Hiroshima city.

-Building and Guest rooms-
The 5-story building with a lift has a variety of guest rooms. If you take a traditional Japanese style rooms, you can hang out on unique tatami mats and have a good sleep in Japanese style “futon” bedding. Of course you can choose a western style en-suite room with a familiar single/double bed.
We have some cozy dormitory rooms, too.
Each Dormitory room has up to 4 beds and some attach a toilet or a bath module.
