Good location, close to the station where I had rented a car (with JR) and some parking lots around to park it. A little bit far from Matsumoto's city center but it was easy to reach it walking or even faster using the bikes parked at the hostel. Facilities were always clean and tidy. My room was spacious enough for me to relax after long days of driving and hiking around. I was concerned about the proximity of trains tracks because I'm very sensitive to noises at night but didn't have any problem sleeping. Friendly chats!

The place is cute and feel like I am home. I would recommend this place if you visit Matsumoto. This place has no parking but there is a private parking about 1 to 2 minutes walk from the place and the parking fees is about 700 JPY for whole day, very convenient. Owner is very friendly. I will stay here again for sure if I have a chance to visit Matsumoto.

It is much more than a guesthouse. It is a family stay. You will get to eat Japanese food with the owners, Wakuw and Ayano, and their three charming children. The place is in nature, not close to shops or transportation, but this is also part of the charm. If you do not have a car, it is best to discuss this with the owners. I stayed for 5 nights, used it as a base for traveling to nearby nature reserves (Kamikochi, Norikura) all within an hour’s drive, and had a great time. Meeting other travelers was also a great experience.

All hostels in Matsumoto

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

Brian and the staff made everything so the guest would feel at home! The shared spaces are very inviting. The kitchen, the showers, and the dorms are very clean and comfortable. The hostel is in a great location near the JR Station but also in a queit area near the river

Very friendly hostel, in a great location not too far from Matsumoto castle. Rooms are Japanese style, with lots of space in the dorms. I had a large suitcase with me and there was plenty of storage space for it beside my futon! Lovely staff as well, great vibe in the hostel overall.

The hostel is in a great location and so quiet. The staff are really helpful, but best of all you could feel the history of the place. We are a family of four (two boys aged 13 & 11) and all thought it was the best hostel we’ve stayed at - friendlier, more fun and better than many hotels. Would stay there happily again.
