The Birth and Vision of Backpackers’ Japan
Founded by a group of young entrepreneurs with a shared passion for travel and a desire to create spaces that transcend boundaries, Backpackers’ Japan has grown from a single guesthouse in Tokyo’s Iriya neighborhood to a network of properties across the city and beyond. Each location is carefully chosen for its unique character and potential, then lovingly renovated to create a welcoming and inspiring environment for travelers and remote workers alike.
At the heart of Backpackers’ Japan’s philosophy is the belief that travel should be more than just a way to escape the everyday – it should be an opportunity to connect with people, places, and ideas in meaningful ways.

Uncover Tokyo’s Best-Kept Secrets
Tokyo is a city of endless possibilities, and Backpackers’ Japan has three properties that offer unique perspectives on the city’s many charms.
A Blend of Hostel and Urban Oasis Nui. HOSTEL & BAR LOUNGE is a hostel that opened after renovating an entire building that formerly served as a warehouse for a long-established toy manufacturer. The first-floor lounge, which functions as a cafe, bar, and dining area, is a place where various people, including hostel guests, local residents, and those who visit specifically for the lounge, come and go. The 4.5-meter high ceiling and the large, openable facade create a bright and open atmosphere in the lounge. The upper floors, which house the guest rooms, have a simple and calm ambiance.
Where Music and Community Converge CITAN opened after renovating a former shirt company’s headquarters building. Its most distinctive feature is the lounge located in the basement, which actively incorporates music events such as DJ performances and live shows. Additionally, the entrance houses “BERTH COFFEE,” the company’s own coffee brand, which serves as a gateway to the town. CITAN is the largest of the four guesthouses and hostels, offering a variety of room types.
A Taste of Traditional Tokyo toco., the first guesthouse opened by Backpackers’ Japan, is located in a quiet residential area in Iriya. Housed in a renovated 90-year-old wooden house, toco. offers a glimpse into Tokyo’s past while providing all the comforts of a modern hostel. The property features a spacious common area with a fully equipped kitchen, a traditional Japanese-style room with tatami mats, and a lovely garden where guests can relax and unwind.
Experience the Magic of Kyoto
Kyoto is a city steeped in history and tradition, and Backpackers’ Japan’s Len Kyoto Kawaramachi offers a unique perspective on the city’s cultural heritage.
Where Tradition Meets Modern Comfort Len Kyoto Kawaramachi opened after renovating an entire building that previously served as an electrical appliance store and warehouse. Like Nui., the first-floor lounge functions as a cafe, bar, and dining area, and is used by many people. Located near Kawaramachi, Kyoto’s main downtown area, and close to the Kamo River, it serves as a base for Kyoto sightseeing. The lounge features a wooden chandelier that hints at the building’s former life as an electrical store, while the guest room floors have concept rooms with carefully selected furniture, showcasing unique and detailed interior design elements throughout.
