Backpackers Hostel TSUBAMENOYADO

Everything basically! The beds had so many small wonderful touches that show the effort he puts into his place. The kitchen and relaxing area as well. Its like a traveler decided to make a hostel as a passion. So many great things. The beds also are large and there are free cooking things at your disposal. The size of the hostel also allows for more deep connections with other guests. The owner is wonderful and always has a huge smile 😊

Located few station away from Shizuoka, Kanbara is a simple town with many Edo era building. Tsubame no Yado located inside a historical Japanese house (160-years-old). Everything inside the hostel is delicately built, I stayed in Sei-Shitsu (6 beds dorm), futon is really comfy and very spacious. The "bed box" also equipped with a small safe to lock your valuables, hangers, a little bin and tissue paper, which i found it is very detail-minded and heart-warming. Other amenity also fully equipped, clean toilet and bathroom, washing & drying machine, a nice living room and kitchen. I stayed for two nights. Visited the sea side, watching Suruga Bay, walking up hill (Goteyama, which will be full some sakura in spring!) and went to see Fireworks in Shimizu one night. As Kanbara station is not a main station so I get home easily after the fireworks and avoided the crowd in Shizuoka! (Hostel is around 10 mins walk from Shin-Kanbara Station) I highly recommended Tsubame no Yado to everyone going to travel in Shizuoka, Osawa san and Hiroka san are managing this hostel very well and staying here worth a great value of money. Hope to visit this Yado again next time with a bicycle :))))) ありがとう！

This was by far my favourite stay on my Japan trip. The hostel is incredibly comfortable and peaceful located in a small, quiet village. The owners are very kind and easy to communicate with. I was welcomed by the owner’s wife, who was very kind and spoke English well, so it was easy to communicate even though I don’t speak any Japanese. I got clear instructions on how to check in, what to do in the area, etc. What really stood out is how incredibly clean the hostel was. The bathrooms were the cleanest I have ever seen, as was the kitchen. The kitchen was well stocked with rice, tea, sauces available for use. The convenience store is literally next to the hostel, so it was also easy to buy groceries and there was a microwave, rice cooker, hob and kettle all available in the hostel. The shower was great (amazing water pressure) and they had towels, as well as other cosmetic products available at the reception. The beds were large and comfortable and the room was a good size. Overall, I could not have imagined a better stay and for the price, it was definitely worth it. I only wish I could have stayed longer! I highly recommend this hostel!

The hostel is beautifully restored and has all the necessary stuff. It felt more as a home than as a hostel. Though it’s located in a small town, you can access the train very easily and you can explore around Mount Fuji. The owner is truly amazing and so kind. I would definitely recommend this hostel!

The owner and family are very welcoming and friendly. 10 min walk from shin kambara. Though the check in and hostel are at different places, it's only a minute away. Individual space is large enough to have all the bags fitted in your space. Family Mart and Indian food is just behind the hostel
