Never put in enough Kanji (same with all countries whose languages don't use the western alphabet). Too subjective again. Many new hostels since this published, so go for new one when published (should be soon?) (

Probably out of date by now, but holding on to it until i get a new one. And this is the book responsible for me visting the most depressing place in Japan, so it must have its merits :) (
