A community hostel near Osaka Castle

#hostellife When I was in Osaka, it was in the weekends. Most rooms were either sold out or extremely pricey, so I got myself a hostel further from the busy parts of the city. Though looking a lil run down aesthetically, but the functionality of the place was intact. Heater in the shower, hairdryer/air conditioning/stove/fridge which backpackers usually value are all available. But one thing to be careful for fellow backpackers is that in places that have a lot of wooden structures do check for bed bugs before lodging. Japanese are usually being known for being careful but no harm to be extra careful. Overall this place had to be the most happening hostel I have ever stayed (of over 100 hostels) in term of interactions between guests. People from all over the world were chatting and exchanging views/advice in the common areas throughout the night. I was working on my laptop while listening to the vigorousness of the scene. I was truly impressed coz it was the true essence of being a backpacker.
