It is a very cool hostel, its build in a traditional japanese house and it has a nice common room to spen time meeting another travelers. Has everything you need and it is a very short walk from Matsumoto castle and downtown. The owner is super nice and helpful and they even have some free bikes (first come, first served) to use to go around the city.

Very clean and well organized. Pleasing comunal space to chill and super quiet rooms during the night. Also free breakfast and one free drink a day (i did not know that until last day tho :) ). The owner and baristas can give you many recommendations and they talk really nice English. Also many restaurants in the area and a konbini less than 10mins walking.

Fantasy stay of my dream! Lovely decorate, small and tidy room, very close to the station. The most convenient part is you can freely use the washing machine in the daytime, that’s really helpful along with my trip. The staffs are all so nice and friendly to us(also good at English, grateful🥹 )

Spacious property with a lot of possibilities for arranging your stay. Great and extremely helpful host, who was very concerned about our smallest requests. Bikes on site, which help a lot in moving around Matsumoto. The perfect location near the castle makes it a center of your stay in the city, while Matsumoto itself makes it a great starting point for one-day trips in the region. There are maps and tips all around the property. The equipment and switches are all subtitled in English, so it's much easier to use them. And last but not least: the beds/futons were the most comfortable and warm in the of our trip in Japan! Next time we'll stay much longer, it's a real home away from home! Nearby parking is just 800JPY per day, a real bargain.

He has been the kindest host we've found. Everything has been perfect. They host you in their own home and give you tips for your trip! We would have liked to stay longer than just one night...

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.
