“Running Bare” is about discovery and adventure, finding something new and exciting. At our hostel you will have an authentic experience and see a slice of Japan.  

The owner is a South African who has a passion for travel and making new friends. He has backpacked, traveled and worked in many countries around the world. 

After coming to Japan to teach English, he fell in love with the country and decided to realize a long time dream and open a hostel where he can share his passion for Japan. 

We are proud to be located in Fuji City, this hidden gem has so much to offer. We look forward to showing you our beautiful and diverse city.
