Hello,

A bunch of us are aiming to go to Japan in August, trying to keep our budget low and see some Dori.

Just wondering what your experience/recommendations with particular youth hostels are?

I've been to:

Shin-Osaka - Awesome, I think it even has AC.

Kyoto - Worst ever

Nikko (dunno which one) - Average

Sasebo (I think, it's really far west) - Good, very nice friendly people

Hakata (not sure about this one, it was more like a hotel but 1/3 the price) - Good, single room with everything, costs more than the others but I don't think it's a hostel....

Trying to find more info on places around Ebisu, Tokyo, Nagoya and Koichi.

I have no idea what's close to Ebisu, if there are any places there.

I got lucky and stayed in a hotel in Tokyo last time, but had to spend an extra night in a run down place for the same price :P. I stayed in a Ryokan the time before, that was awesome but I can't find it again. It was right down/up from Tokyo Dome.

Anyway, any of your experiences or recommendations will be greatly appreciated.

Over Golden Week, I stayed in Kochi Youth Hostel. Also, the JYH in Tokushima.

Both were very nice.

The Kochi one is a little far to walk into the city, but you can easily drive or ride your pushie in.

The Tokushima one also, is a little ways out, but situated directly on a beach park with some nice views and a relaxing vibe.

Both were run by very lovely people, and were very spacious rooms with nice furnishings. Pretty cheap too - about 3000 yen a night from memory.

      @joshuaho96 Hmm considering the drama you've seen/experienced, have you looked into getting a built complete long motor shipped from Australia?  Considering the AUD is basically monopoly money when compared to the USD, at a glance this seems like a good option?

      Bloody Skylines, they put you through the bloody wringer! Stick at it! Stunning drag strip BTW! Where is it? Can see part of the name on the slip and probably should just Google it!

      I mean the other day I had to walk someone through diagnosing why their timing belt was walking off the cam gears. At least one of the issues was a bent tensioner stud. Local mechanics have found runout on the CAS mechanism causing weird failures. I'm also no saint here I've documented some of the things I've had to learn the hard way. Something I discovered recently is that my CA emissions catalytic converters weren't even welded correctly to align the downpipe to the main cat and they tossed the support bracket that goes from the transfer case to the downpipe to support everything there. I spend a lot of time chasing down these decidedly unsexy problems and the net effect is it feels like I never actually get to the original objective (flex fuel, VCAM, oil control, cooling, etc).
