Jimmyz Backpackers Review

Jimmyz seems to be a wonderful little hostel in Sapporo. It's about a 5 minute walk from Hosui Susukino station on the Toho subway line. It's within a 15 minute walk from Odori Park/Sapporo TV Tower and roughly 8 minutes from Susukino. I've been here for a day and a half. The building is a little old, but he cleans daily. There are separate showers and toilets for men and women. The shared space has a tatami section and a regularly floored section.The female dormitory is for 4 women and is quite large. The bunks and a mirror are the only furniture, but the down blankets are nice and warm. He also heats the building rather generously.

So far, I think the only downside is that the building isn't weatherproofed. Windows in Japan aren't double-paned because they would shatter easily in an earthquake, so the windows and doors are quite cold to touch.

I highly recommend Jimmyz Backpackers for a stay in Sapporo. For the price, it's phenomenal!
