P-Dash Garden Backpackers

Toshi, the host, was very welcoming & friendly. Big spaces where we could make & eat breakfast and dinner.

No beakfast but hot waterMicrowave, oven toaster. refreg are available.

Location is very hard without car, morterbike. No public traffic to reach.

A cosy old place but has everything you need. It is at the farmland area and you will enjoy the morning sunrise. 40 min to Asahi Dake.

Even if the location is a bit on the outskirts, its a very comfy accommodation with friendly staff! The rooms were very homely we were surprised!

The only thing that was a bit annoying were some of the other guests. (Very obnoxious) But that's hardly a fault of the hotel, unfortunately you cant choose your guests!

So to start, you definitely need a car. In the winter it’s not close to any one ropeway/ski hill, but you are central to many!! The hostel is very thought through. Plenty of things located exactly where it’s most convenient. A definite sign of someone who has traveled themselves! Speaking of which, Toshifumi is an amazing host! Friendly, informative and always keen to ski with guests or have a barbecue in the summer! We went skiing out at Asahidake when the clouds cleared a bit and had an incredible day with Toshifumi. It was almost like having a free guide to hang out with and I’m not even sure he realizes how much we appreciated it! Highly recommend this place to anyone wanting to spend at least a few days in the area to hit up the ski hills or for touring.

I guess location could be a downside, but we liked it!

Very unique and well thought out hostel with lots of lovely touches to make a comfortable stay and we enjoyed our time hanging out in the common areas. Our young children also loved the stay. The proprietor was very friendly and helpful.

Proper duvet covers would have been nice.
