Also does Japan have any hostels that are similar in environment/atmosphere as hostels in Europe? Ie. lots of mid 20s solo travelers and opportunities to make friends and travel around with?

I used Khaosan and Piece hostel in Kyoto and reminds me of the hostels in Europe. There are so many hostels in Japan and I imagine they're all similar. Piece was awesome because it was new so super clean. Even though it's an international audience, I think most know it's Japan so they won't reach out to say hello. In fact, if you are Asian, they may think you don't speak English. Most hostels in Japan even cater to families, so there will be grandparents and kids. If you wish to make friends, make sure to join the free walking tours that only some hostels offer.
