History
The Story of &AND HOSTEL

The Journey of
&AND HOSTEL
In 2016, with the rapid increase of overseas travelers to Japan, very first &AND HOSTEL opened.
At the time, it was introduced as a “smart hostel” equipped with the latest IoT devices, launching a brand that embraced a new era of travel.
In 2021, however, the pandemic brought a major turning point, and the brand was relaunched as a “wellness hostel” targeting domestic guests, offering experiences to relax both mind and body.
Today, we’re growing as a hostel that brings Japanese culture— with fun activities to enjoy during your stay and special collaboration rooms made with our partners.

Discover New Cultures

A Place to
Experience Japan
&AND HOSTEL is a space where guests can encounter new cultures.
In the lounges of our hostels, we regularly host enjoyable events for all guests—sharing homemade dishes from different countries, playing board games, and more. It is a casual space where cross-cultural exchanges naturally happen.
We also introduce a variety of activities, such as workshops, kimono dressing, and guided local walking tours. More than just a place to stay, &AND HOSTEL offers opportunities to discover and connect with Japanese culture.
