No problem 🙂
I have it in my list of places I want to stay for a trip to Kyoto.
From my experience, most hostels in Japan are clean, friendly and have a shared kitchen. They are often foreigner-oriented (more likely showers rather than baths) and well documented on the internet with pictures and reviews. You might be able to find something that meets your needs, including private rooms, but accessibility levels vary from place to place. The good thing is that most will be able communicate in English to some degree and have an email or phone number for contact, so ask all your questions up front before booking.
