Experience of the stay
This time, I came to EN HOSTEL&BAR, a large-scale hostel in Kochi Prefecture with HafH.
The hostel opened in July 2018 and is a 10-minute walk from JR Kochi Station and the bus terminal.
Access to major areas is also convenient. Tourist spots like Sunday Market and Kochi Castle are within walking distance.
The shared space has a large community lounge on the first floor, and there is free Wi-Fi available, making it convenient for remote work and digital nomads.
The room is a dormitory, so it is indeed small, but it is said to be made from Kochi prefecture's Shimanto cypress, which gives it a warm wooden feeling.
By the way, if there are other guests around, you'll need to be mindful of others.
It may not be suitable for those who are not comfortable with that kind of dormitory.
The laundry is set outside, and there is a vending machine available.
The shared shower space is new, clean, and does not have a shabby feeling at all.
There is also a breakfast menu, so you can relax in the lounge in the morning.
Hostels and guesthouses use fewer HafH coins, making it perfect for those who want to travel cheaply or stay for a long time.
EN HOSTEL&BAR is a large hostel where you can have a comfortable stay, so please try to stay there once.
Experiences during the trip
Since I came to Kochi, I went around the famous tourist spots.
I thought about eating at Hirome Market, but it was a bit crowded, so I went to Meijindai nearby for a katsuobushi tataki set meal.
The katsuobushi tataki that I ate in Kochi is of exceptional deliciousness! It's incredibly tasty, so if you come to Kochi, make sure to try it.
I also took the bus to Kochi Castle and Katsurahama.
It felt like renting a car would be more convenient than taking the bus in Kochi city, so I think I'll rent a car next time I come.
