Situated in Matsumoto and with Matsumoto Station reachable within 1 km, Couch Potato Hostel features free bikes, non-smoking rooms, free WiFi throughout the property and a shared lounge. The property is around 3.9 km from The Japan Ukiyo-e Museum, 29 km from Canora Hall and 600 metres from Matsumoto Castle. The accommodation offers a shared kitchen, and luggage storage for guests. I booked a shared room which was perfect since I was solo traveling and didn't need much space. Staff was very friendly and gave a quick tour of the hostel. I would say I was pretty cautious about not making too much noise being in a shared room and sound proofing is not too great overall since this is an older building but didn't bother me too much. I think it's a perfect little stay for the 2 nights that I was there. There's also a kitchen that would have been great if I needed to cook but I didn't end up using it. They have a spacious area to just sit and relax outside of the rooms as well. Overall, definitely enjoyed my stay and will book here again if I come back to Matsumoto!
