Reviews of 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 😊

The only thing i could complain about is the tatami mat bed which is very common in Japan so its not a big deal but my western back cant handle it haha 😆

Host is very friendly and likeable. The place is really cozy. They have a separate space for which you can work or spend time alone away from the hostel itself where guests stay and sleep. It has full amenities, from drinkable tap water, to appliances like ref and you can even cook if you want! The space which you will sleep is very large as well. You can also ask to borrow bike from the host for free (traditional bike and not the e-bike used for cycling).

This is not really a concern for me but maybe for those who are sensitive to sound but they use sliding glass doors and can be loud when opened.

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！

There's nothing to dislike about!

Super good experience. I forgot my earbuds at checkout. Since I'm traveling by bike, the hostel owner even brought them to me, which was so sweet! I recommend it.

A guest house that looks and feels like home. Every equipment needed is here. Rooms are big enough. There is enough space outside the bedroom to place lugages without blocking the way. Lovely cheap place, located in a peaceful neighborhood not too far from the big city, recommended to those who are looking to visit Fuji or Fujinomiya !

The hostel is very homey and warm, felt very comforting there. Lovely building not too far from the train station. The host was incredible so much information is given and he really loves his community.

The tatami beds are a little hard

Peaceful and quiet.

It’s a little bit far from the city center, but it’s ok with the train.

I liked the house and the bathrooms also the beds.

Would have been better if it had free coffee or tea but the family mart was super close anyway..

Great place to stay. The family are helpful and friendly. It's ideally located for hiking trails and trains. The town is small and the people welcoming. Loved my stay here.

Owner is extremely caring and waited for us for late check-in. He showed us in dark to help us settle down and rest early. Very cosy and nice hostel.

Great hostel and lovely hosts. Generous sized bunks and clean facilities.

Beautiful location in a town with many historic Meiji era buildings, only a short hike to some fantastic views of mount Fuji. The hostel itself was very nice too with a well kept garden. The owner was also exceptionally enthusiastic and helpful!

It was a bit confusing to find the check in shop, I may have been missing something.

Although is bunk bed but is tatami with futon, quite spacious too ! Lovely traditional house, but inside with equipped electrical equipments. Peaceful quite sleep, wake up by birds singing. 😀 Then environment also nice cozy town. Walking distance from train station and alot cheap and tasty restaurants nearby.

The owner is very kind. You can tell he likes to meet new people and to help them discovering the town. The place is small and confortable. I slept well. And the town has so many things to see and visit. I would definitely like to go back to this hostel!

Nothing, all was great.

very beautiful place and living area. i want to come back.
