Experience of the stay
This dormitory is recommended for:
- Those who enjoy solo travel
- Those who want to talk with people from overseas
- Those who wish to interact with other guests on a daily basis.
I arrived in the evening and checked in. I was surprised right away when someone from Asia seated next to the counter greeted me. They spoke fluent Japanese, so I had no trouble communicating in a foreign language and was able to talk about various things related to Japan.
Then I went to my bed. Please note that the lockers only hold valuables, so be careful as large luggage cannot fit in them.
After that, I relaxed in the common area, but a person from America who was preparing dinner started a conversation by pointing at shiitake mushrooms and saying, ‘(pointing at the mushrooms) what's this?’. My English is really poor, but it seems that the guests who love places like this are good at engaging with people, and they smiled kindly at my clumsy conversation.
After going out once, I returned, took a shower, and went to sleep. Since it is a basic facility, it may not be suitable for those who have a hard time accepting simple accommodations.
I woke up early and checked out after tidying up the sheets and cups I used.
I had a different experience than staying at a hotel, and I really enjoyed it. I would love to use it again!
Experiences during the trip
Near the accommodation is an area called 'Gion', where old town streets and temples are lined up.
While the area around Hakata Station is filled with modern buildings, a 10-minute walk takes you to a place with a completely different atmosphere, which surprised me when I first arrived.
Walking on cobblestones, I visited a quiet temple and experienced a different kind of sightseeing. I wanted to explore more.
