Nagasaki International Hostel AKARI Reviews

Great little place. The original map the staff gave us helped us get the most out of our shortish (3 night) stay in Nagasaki, and the people were all really friendly. Just down in Kyushu for a week from 'home' in Tokyo, and was really glad to find this place, relaxing, and near all the interesting spots in town. Would recommend the 'local walks with locals' offered by the staff and their friends!

My favourite hostel in the world. The location is beautiful, the staff are so friendly and helpful, the common rooms and rooms are clean and homely. Have stayed here twice, and will do again!

Great hostel, friendly staff. Will definitely stay there again next time I'm in Nagasaki.

I had a great stay at International Hostel Akari. The staff was particularly friendly and helpful with providing touristy information. I would definitely recommend a stay there.

スタッフ皆様の心遣いに感謝いたします。さすが日本人のサービス精神と粋が存分に堪能できました。 ありがとうございました。

Great hospitality...enjoyed the new year's eve temple visit

Good location. Only 5-10mins walk from city centre. Staff were really helpful and incredibly nice!

Friendly smiling and helpful staff and nice private room + great location (quiet but close to vibrant neighbourhoods). The staff provides a lot of interesting tips about the city and the region!! They also organize walks with local people everyday to help you discover Nagazaki off the beaten paths... Great hostel!

Very nice place, highly recommended !

Among the loveliest and friendliest hostels I've ever experienced in my travels. Akari is a Japanese-style hostel with tatami flooring and only a 20-minute walk or short ride on the tram from the main train station. Kazushi and Tomo were such gracious hosts and provided excellent restaurant recommendations, including the best tonkatsu (breaded pork cultet) near the arcade shopping area.

I had stayed at this hostel before and when I knew I was coming back to Nagasaki this was the first place I went to book. The hostel is lovely and cosy, very comfortable and clean. All the staff are really friendly and helpful. This must be the best hostel in Nagasaki. Thank you Akari.

I had a fantastic stay at this hostel. The staff were so helpful and friendly, at times going beyond what was expected, in order to help. The information provided for travels was very creative and helpful. The map that they provided was incredibly good. My room was very spacious and clean. You'd expect rooms in Japanese hostels to be clean but not so spacious as this. The location was excellent - convenient and quiet. The internet was a bit slow there but everything else was wonderful.

The people at the hostel are very nice, very helpful. For the rest it's definitely value for money. Nice beds, clean, etc.

Excellent location. Extremely helpful staff (as anywhere in Japan). Downside; the slowest computers since the 90 ies. And why isnt there a singel hanger in the bathroom?

Perfect hostel to visit Nagasaki. Kind staff girl. High recommended!!

Nice hostel, still within the walking distance from the station (25 min). The location is quite nice, close to the city center and attractions.

Nice staff, good location, quiet... I'm very happy about have been stayed there.

Great hostel with Japanese rooms (tatami-floors) and western-style beds. Staff is very friendly and helpful. Booked an extra night because of all the fun there.

Rather big hostel and you probably won't meet many other backpackers even if this is the most popular hostel in Japan. Otherwise it give you good accomondation.

The hostel staff was extremely friendly and helpfull. We wanted to stay in a triple room, which was not available at the time, but they manage to provide us an addicional futon for a twin room and it was perfect. The hostel has a nice tradicional Japanese decoration and is located in a very nice area. I would definitely reccomend it.
