Eating cheap at Sakura Hostel Asakusa [ Budget Advice ] Long Stay Discount ! Biggest Hostel in Tokyo

By: Kent (2013/05/21 09:00) | | Comment(0) | TrackBack(0)

Every traveler has a budget and food is one thing you may enjoy spending money on or NOT! If not let me introduce you to a cheap bento box we have in Asakusa. 

It's called Delica Paku Paku located right on top of the Asakusa (Tsukuba Express) station only 5 minutes on foot from Sakura Hostel Asakusa

You may be familiar with these styles of bento box's that cost double the price at the local convenience store and made in a factory somewhere far away.

But here everything is all freshly made in the kitchen right behind the counter and placed outside on a table for you to pick!

Open 24 hours this is the perfect place for any backpackers or budget travelers to indulge in some Japanese food while saving money.

[Staff] Making Uruguayan Gyouza! [Friendship Party]

By: Kyoko (2013/05/16 16:22) | | Comment(0) | TrackBack(0)

Today I made more than 100 of Gyouza with Ayumi :)




But actually the fillings are different from Japanese Gyouza.
We made the Gyouza with these fillings!




Ham & Cheese!


That is because we'll welcome lots of Uruguayan guests to the party
and in South American countries people eat the snack like Gyouza.
The name of the food is Empanada and it's made with Ham & Cheese.




At the party, the guests can enjoy this type of Gyouza & Japanese Gyouza :)
We are looking forward to the party !!

Norway Guest Introduction!! [ Volume 1 ] Biggest Hostel in Tokyo @ Sakura Hostel Asakusa

By: Kent (2013/05/15 09:00) | | Comment(0) | TrackBack(0)

For today's blog I'll be introducing you to our lovely guest from Norway Pia M Johansen, she's 24 and already a music composer! Travelling around Japan to be inspired by the beautiful landscape and deep culture of this land.

She has participated in many of our events which include the Yomodakai ( Cooking Event ), Kimono dress up event and Temaki sushi party.

Tonight was her last night at Sakura Hostel Asakusa so I asked her a few questions regarding her time in Japan.

What was your favorite thing about Japan!?

Everything from green tea to the people! they are so pretty and respectful and they take care of each other.

What did you like about your stay at Sakura Hostel Asakusa?
 
 The staff are great and made me feel at home and they are open to crazy ideas and I like that.

 What was your best experience in Japan? 

Chatting with old Japanese ladies at the Sukiya Onsen in Aomori and eating Yaki Imo late at night. 
Seeing the Kabuki and Sumo for the first time in my life took my breadth away. 

In total she stayed with us for over a month and is heading back home today!

We look forward to having her stay with us in the near future.
