One such place is “Momotaro International House”
It is located about 20 minutes walk straight away from Shizuoka JR Station at the entrance of Sengen Shrine Street.
Once you reach the big red torii/sacred gate at the entrance of the main street look for the entrance of the backpackers hotel on the left hand side!

It is a thin tall building whose entrance is clearly marked!

That’s the place!
Walk upstairs or use the elevator if your luggage is a bit too heavy!

You will find the reception office on the second floor where English-speaking Mrs. Shizuka Nishibata/西畑静佳さん will be waiting for you!
Check the many free pamphlets there for an enjoyable stay in Shizuoka City and Prefecture!
Don’t hesitate to ask question about the current events and attractions of our region!

Fully equipped kitchen!

Single room on the men’s floor!

Each room has a small desk and refrigerator!

And a TV set!

Bear in mind that due to the strict hotel fire safety rules in Japan rooms in such hotels cannot be completely separated, hence the narrow, but fenced, opening between the partitions and the ceiling! Guests are kindly asked to limit noise to the lowest possible level.

Each floor is equipped with a space for drying clothes.

A double-bunk bedroom on the Ladies floor!

Now, the ladies floor laundry room has been better equipped to satisfy basic ladies’ needs!
