I can`t comment on the actual bandwidth at a hostel - but it`s my guess they probably have fairly normal internet service. Japan`s infrastructure is wonderful, so I find it hard to imagine them being especially slow. It actually ends up being far more costly to use the slower types of access (ISDN, ADSL) than FTTH - Especially in the city.

But still, if you feel they are incredibly slow, you should ask about internet cafes. If all else fails, you could pick up a few USB drives (They`re incredibly cheap here) and copy the photos over to them until you get home or somewhere faster.
