Lock in a great price for Kamp Houkan-cho Backpacker's Inn & Lounge – rated 8 by recent guests!

to get started.

Awesome staff, social vibe, great bar, perfect location, comfortable beds, quality facilities, 10/10 would stay here again! :)

Nick, New Zealand

A clean hostel with a lovely qwerky bar/ cafe down stairs. Very hot shower and products to use as is typical in Japan. Nice relaxed vibe would definately stay again. It was a little quite when I stayed but i still met some nice people to chat to.

Vivienne, United Kingdom

Cute place, small hostel, not too far from the station. Friendly guest and staff.

Stephanie, Australia

Location is very good. Room was clean. The Bar downstairs was very nice.

Julius, Austria

Due to a Taifun there was a problem finding beds. We made a mistake with the number of beds and the staff helped us and solved the problem.

Michael, Germany

The bed is comfortable.The hostel is clean. There is the bar down stair ,with relax and designed decoration. 10 mins walk from train station through shopping street . There are lots of local store. (but close so early), All in all , a very convenient hostel.

Yu, Taiwan

Very friendly staff, you can chill in the bar downstairs with a very cool "reggae" vibe !

Alexis, France

Clean hostel, close to the train station and the kitchen is a nice comfortable place to eat my take-out dinner.

Sarah, Canada

Extremely friendly and helpful bilingual staff. Amazing location, just 10 minutes from the central/Okayama station. Lots of shopping and restaurants in the station. The cafe and living room area is so comfortable and beautiful. Beds are surprisingly comfortable. Unbelievably clean bathroom area. Two showers and several toilets are "communal" but they're all separated, not in one giant bathroom which means that you have complete privacy when showering/using the bathroom. Little cafe/bar in the living room/dining area and the food is very nice and healthy. The chai tea is especially delicious!! Will definitely stay again!! Everyone is so nice and lovely here, the staff are wonderful.

Our room was located next to a staff room. Unfortunately it was very sensitive to sound, and staff people were pretty loud at night and in the morning.
Location is very good. Room was clean. The Bar downstairs was very nice.

There was a strange, sewage-like smell in the corridors during out 2 night stay. The dormitories were cramped and lacked privacy; there was no spaces for bags, and the upper bunks didn’t have any privacy curtains.
Good bathrooms, good showers.

Rooms and beds aren't that great. I was in a bulk bed with very limited privacy, especially when you are sleeping above... but for one night it's enough.
Very friendly staff, you can chill in the bar downstairs with a very cool "reggae" vibe !

I wish there was a trash can in the room. The dryer is not very efficient and takes hours to dry one’s laundry.
