Youth Hostel in Kyoto

Although located outside of Kyoto downtown, easy access by local bus taking less than 30 minutes.

The hostel is open to international as well as local Japanese youths. Strangely, no age limit imposed. Locals and foreigners are separated into different rooms.

Nice common hot bath soak. Must be out of the room in the morning and only back in the late afternoon.

Unfortunately, from internet, the hostel is under renovation until March 2008.

More about Utano Youth Hostel

Friendly Youth Hostel @Kyoto

by hanabiwaiwai about Utano Youth Hostel

There is a kitchen and a canteen. u may pay 500 yen to have breakfast - buffet style with western and japanese food.

The staffs are very friendly, and the other people in our dorm are also very friendly too.

There is also laundry area outside, and next to it is a small garden where u can look at the sakura while drinking a cup of hot tea. It may be "cultural shock" for some of u... as the bathroom is common bath concept. There are stools for u to sit while bathing. And there is a common bath tub with hot water (can accommodate about 6 people)... feel so comfortable :)
