Hey, I'm writing this for a friend who is planning on visiting Japan in the next month or so. Does anyone have any suggestions of good hostels in Kyoto, Osaka and/or Tokyo? Thanks in advance!

I stayed here http://www.kyoto-ohto.com/ in Kyoto last GW with my mom/stepsis. It was pretty basic, but super cheap, folks were friendly, and it's located just down the street from Sanjyusan gendo (and not an awfully long way from the station either). But I guess it's more economical if you're here with a few people, not traveling by yourself. Otherwise I'd go with Amy as well, I've always had a good time at the Sakura hostel I've stayed at.
