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.
