    Very friendly and cosy hostel with a perfect location near Matsumoto station. The tatami room was comfortable and had everything we needed. It was nice to stay in a traditional room on futon.

    Home style hostel. You get to stay in a room with tatami floor but in bunk beds. Relatively spacious common area for you to relax and unwind in terms of rooms in Japan. Close to the station and all tourist attraction. Matsumoto is a very chill...
