Hi everyone from all corners of the globe!

What is a Youth Hostel (YH)l?

Hi, Youth Hostels started in Germany to help young people travel for over a 100 years. In total, there are about 80 participating countries and 4000 accomodations worldwide. In Japan, from up north Hokkaido to southernmost Okinawa, there are 220 Youth hostels.
Despite Youth Hostel naming itself "Youth" there is no age limit for staying.. For individual stays, such as Solo trips, and family trips. Also a large number of people for training and seminor trips are acceptable. You can find cosy to large scale hostels anywhere.
Youth hostel in Japan is governed by the Japan Youth Hostel Association, but in the world there is an organization called the International Youth Hostel Federation (like the United Nations), and the national association around the world is a member. The International Youth Hostel Federation, is working on the management of the homepage, on which information you search and reservations can be made for all youth hostels of member countries, and the quality improvement of these youth hostels. The head office is in London, England.
