"Well short of comforts your expect to find at a Japanese hostel"

4.0

Good Wifi

Staff seemed oblivious saying there were no lockers even though there were, and the washing machine didn’t work. Worst was the insane heat inside though. It was more comfortable in the 30 degree celcius sun outside. Also the trashcans were always full. In short reminds of the cheapest hostels in South East Asia even though it is priced similar to other hostels in Japan.

外人ばかりだったが、多少なりとも日本語を理解していたので、助かった。

日本人スタッフも一人はほしい。近くの「たびひろ」のように。

"Great location for Matsumoto and the Japanese Alps"

8.0

Great location in centre of Matsumoto as a base for the sights of the Japanese Alps. Friendly Irish owner advises on tourist sites and trips. Perfect for backpackers with kitchen for self-catering and a social dining room. Rooms are comfortable. Showers are clean. Helpful team of volunteers for reception and personal welcome.
