Try HostelManagement.com for information. There is a PDF guide about the website here:

Great article, it is simple and direct enough.
It presents everything you could need to jump over the hostels business world or to probably stay back and get focused on some other things.
Thanks a lot for giving it out to us!
Thank for taking the time to gather this information. We look forward to opening our first hostel here in South Africa so everything helps to make it a success the first time around.

Hi Laura,
Try asking your question on the Hostel Management Forum — there are a few hostels in Japan there who might be able to answer your questions.
Feel free to send me a message through the contact form. We have 2 people here fluent in Japanese.

Hi! Opening up a backpacker lodge in the Peruvian Amazon. It´s a hostel as well as a Kukama cultural centre, intended to keep the indigenous culture alive by teaching foreigners about their customs, and the problems facing communities today. Any advice on how to incorporate both aspects into business??? Thanks!
