Perfect for a stay in Matsumoto. I stayed in a dorm and my bed was huge by hostel standards. It was a built from solid wood and had enough room to have a nice Japanese style bed plus room for anything you needed to store. It had wrap around curtains providing lots of privacy. I had quiet roommates and slept well. The common area was great with a kitchen with a bar and an area to chill in with lots of musical instruments which you could pick uk and play if you wanted. The place was packed with interesting items like an ancient massage chair. It was the focal point of the hostel and encouraged people to sit around and socialize. It was close to all the attractions in Matsumoto with lots of shops and restaurants nearby. I had a great time here and would come again if I'm ever back in Matsumoto. Highly recommended.

The place was located not far from Matsumoto train station which made it very convenient for traveling and exploring the area. The room was clean and comfortable, and I did enjoy that the washing machine was free to use! Also the decorations around the place are absolutely adorable (the small kitties as instructions make it fun).

We had the whole house to ourselves staying as a family of five. The home was beautiful, very very spacious and comfortable and spotlessly clean throughout. There was every kind of appliance you could ever imagine needing throughout the house with very useful instructions on everything. The kitchen was also very well equipped. The location is next to Matsumoto castle and there is plenty of parking available nearby. The host was very kind and helpful. TOP !

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.

    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.
