Got stuck in Matsumoto for the night due to poor weather affecting train timetables, but Couch Potatoe Hostel made that night very enjoyable. Staff were super helpful and recommended things for me to do while I visited.

Staff were so welcoming and arranging. Being able to have a free lift before check in was massively helpful. The location at the bottom of the slopes of Tsugaike is perfect too. A really positive and warm atmosphere - I highly recommend staying there!

One of our favorite stays of our trip! Our hosts were so welcoming and the farmhouse itself is beautiful and so cozy, it's clear that a lot of love was put into the building. Dinner and breakfast were both fantastic, and we both developed a newfound love of barley tea while we were there :)

The best stay during our tour of Japan. This is the perfect feel of what a hostel should be like, a place to meet people who are also travelling and want a sense of community with fellow travellers. After 7pm there is not much to do in the region of Nagano/Suzaka, so socialising and drinking sake with others was an unforgettable way to pass time. The owners are very pleasant and they went to the local market to buy local delicacies for us all to share. Considering we travelled to the area just to visit the Snow Monkeys, this turned out to be our favourite stop and location

We had a wonderful stay at this incredibly beautiful old house. The inn served as the perfect overnight spot for hiking to Tsumago and Magome. Yakkun was an amazing host and told us about the history of the house and prepared hot pot and barbque for us alongside local wine and sake. Highly recommend!

Gaspard the owner/operator is fantastic! Great guy and very knowledgable about Hakuba. His backpackers lodge is great fun. Would definitely recommend this to people travelling to Hakuba. Great opportunities to socialise and meet new people! Liam and Bianca the staff were also very helpful and great fun.

The best hostel I have ever been in. Great food and Sake in the restaurant and the Onsen is wonderful after a day of hiking. It is a bit old school but I love that. You can also easily reach Lake Misuzu by foot.

The location, 5 min walk from the Nagano station, was ideal to us. Nagano is a really small city, so you are at a quick stroll from everywhere. Another good point is that the hostel offers free of charge soft drinks and coffee from 4PM to 10 AM. The facilities were clean and in good shape, the bunk beds were confortable and with privacy.
