- Kathrin (10/5): Stunning, traditional, cozy! - It is a very cozy, traditional stay in an excellent location for nature and star lovers. The hot spring Onsen is open 24hours and has such a nice charm and vibe. I really love how that stay felt! The owner is extremely nice, helpful and sweet. There were communication problems at some point on our side, he arranged a translated phone call so we can get an answer! The value for price was nice. I would whole heartedly recommend this place to everyone, but especially to other tourists who actually want to immerse themselves into real Japan! Nothing, all of us loved everything
- MEIKO (8/5): -
- Nina (10/5): - Die Unterkunft fühlt sich sogar für eine Nacht an wie ein richtiges Zuhause. Es ist sehr schön eingerichtet, der Besitzer kümmert sich sehr gut um die Gäste. Wir hatten ein Familienzimmer mit Futonbetten und haben den Abend in der natürlichen Onse ausklingen lassen.

- Aliz (10/5): Perfect location for visiting Kamikochi - We had such a great time. Perfect location for visiting Kamikochi. Also there are some great daily hikes that can be done from this guesthouse. Staff is very helpful l.
- ZHEN (9/5): 山中的一处简洁的旅馆 - 在山里面,如果不开车的话一定一定要看清楚bus的时间,错过末班车需要支付高额的士费。附近只有几家小店,营业时间也很短
温泉很好,虽然只有小小的2间,但是泉质很棒,对旅途劳累的人来说是极大的慰藉。
氛围像青旅,大部分都是自助式,前台很热情,一看就是登山爱好者
天气好的时候 晚上可以看到星空,但是要走一段路离开路灯区域。 价格有点小贵
- Ivan (10/5): - Incredible natural onsen, very nice staff
- ZI-HAN (10/5): 有點溫泉每天都可以泡 整體環境乾淨而且佈置很可愛 每個角落都很溫馨 尤其老闆很細心提供烘鞋機 有一天爬完山回來腳濕透了 幸好有烘鞋機隔天才能乾爽 還有問周邊行程都很耐心的分享 - 溫泉
旅館環境佈置 交通稍微不便
但可以借腳踏車
住宿隔壁有一個公車站但班次較少
- David (9/5): -
- George (10/5): - Friendly reception with good information, clean and spacious accomodations. A very nice stay.
- 小泉 (4/5): - ??… 浴場 脱衣場は床板がベコベコで抜けそうです 浴室はぬめりで、ブラシを掛けていない 浴槽は床が抜けそうで、ゆっくり入っていられないです。せっかく良い温泉なのに実に勿体ないと思っています

- Abe (10/5): また利用したい - きめ細かいちょっとしたサービスが充実してて感動。オーナーもとても感じが良く、親切で過ごしやすかった。 お風呂が旧館で年季の入った味がある雰囲気に、ビビりな子供が怖がってしまった。(大人は大満足なお風呂)
- Nicolas (9/5): - Etablissement charmant, onsen très agréable, petit déjeuner parfait. Chambres bien insonorisées.
- 岡 (5/5): - 風呂が温泉の源泉引き込みで、とても良かった。 私が泊まったのは暑い時期で、夜間は過ごしやすいとは言え、夕方は西陽も当たって空調なしでは快適ではなかった。
- Bart (9/5): Base to discover Kamikochi and Norikura - Visited hostel with family of 4, using family room. Good location, facilities basic but fine (futon instead of bed) and with private onsen and excellent host as definite bonus points Quite some nearby facilities were closed but thanks to travel with car we were flexible
- Parshad (9/5): Superb -
- Kaori (8/5): - 手の行き届いた施設でした

- tetsuro (10/5): いい滞在となりました! - ゆっくり過ごすことができました。温泉がとても素晴らしかったです。
近くの飲食店のメニュー表がありましたが、
少し古かったようで、現在は提供されていないメニューが結構掲載されていました。
- Verified traveler (8/5): Bueno pero muy aislado de todo - Aunque la persona del hotel no hablaba nada de inglés nos ayudó con la mejor voluntad. Lindo lugar pero es muy retirado de todo, difícil acceso, para solo tomar una noche y necesitar transporte público fácil no es una opción recomendada, lo recomiendo si va en carro
- ヤスヒロ (8/5): - リピーターです。夏は登山、冬はスキーで利用しています。歩いて行けるところにレストランとバームクーヘン屋さんがあります。館内でお酒も販売されています。お風呂は乗鞍の湯です。良い施設だと思います。
- Truc (8/5): Very good -
- Chatuthat (7/5): Good - The staff was really nice, onsen was a private room.
- Luetkemeyer (10/5): Exceptional -
- Rachel (8/5): We really liked this guesthouse, which was very cute and convenient! The owner was lovely, helpful and friendly. Everyth - The decoration was so sweet, everything was catered for and thought of, the owner was lovely and very friendly! The onsen was nice, but the walk to get to the onsen is through a colder older part of the house.
- Hugh (7/5): Funky guesthouse with shared washrooms and dining/social area. Good bus access and good hiking in area. Many waterfa - Charming host and interior Ugly exterior
- Eljas (10/5): Cozy guesthouse in the mountains with an amazing host. - Cozy guesthouse in the mountains with an amazing host Everything worked well
- Liz (10/5): - The guesthouse was absolutely gorgeous and in a stunning part of Japan. We rented a car in Matsumoto and used the guesthouse as a base for visiting Kamikochi. The hotel is bright and cheery. The rooms are a generous size. The futons comfortable. Perhaps the best thing of all was the private onsen. The dining options around are a little limited- very few are open at night. There are more soba lunch options but we were out walking. We went to both Abbey Road and Springbank which were fine.
- Diegof33 (10/5): Exceptional -

- Flaminia (10/5): Wonderful - Our stay at Hoshizora no Akari was the most wonderful part of our Japanese trip. Our host is extremely attentive, generous, and welcoming; he knows how to make you feel comfortable in his guesthouse. The rooms are simple but very pleasant, the private onsen is a dream, and the location of the place is ideal for staying in the region and going on beautiful hikes. We highly recommend it! Thank you again for everything.

Thanks to the boss, he's an amazing person very helpful and kind. Nothing.

A quite and peaceful stay
- Boaz (10/5): Amazing host and nice place in a quite location - The host is amazing. He was super friendly, asked about our plans and gave us good suggestions.
When we forgot something in the room he was very kind and sent it to our next hotel free of charge.
The place feels like home away from home. The common room at the first floor has many board and card games for the entire family and we had a lot of fun playing.
There are also free beverages and snacks.
The location is very quite and the sky are beautiful at night
- Siddhi (9/5): Superb -
- Peerawat (10/5): Homey - Very clean and homey. Didn’t have Breakfast.
- Jolene (9/5): Superb - The guesthouse host was friendly and very helpful. He made us feel at home right away and was able to have a conversation in English, helping us with sightseeing and restaurant recommendations.
We loved the cute Japanese touches and the onsen.
- Gabriel (9/5): Rejuvenating mountain getaway. - This is a superb place to stay as a base for adventures around Norikura Kogen. It is warm, inviting, and comfortable. The proprietor is friendly and helpful, the rooms are clean and well-equipped, and the private onsen experience is spectacular. We rented a car to get there and there was plenty of parking for us. We were on tatami, but there are spare pillows available for extra padding. Not much to complain about. Sometimes other guests were loud early in the morning, or messy in the common areas, but there's not much to be done about it. Just a note and not a complaint - there really are sparse food options up near the guesthouse so bring some food. There is a shared fridge in the common area to store items.
- Narisara (10/5): Exceptional -
- Nan (10/5): Exceptional - The owner was very helpful. He tried to give us a lot of good trips. We did use a lot of hand signals, but all works out at the end!

- Aleksey (9/5): Superb -
- Ruzha (9/5): Wonderful Guesthouse - What a wonderful guest house! We booked it very last minute for part two of our Christmas getaway, and we truly enjoyed it. Everything was really clean and cozy, with quirky decorations all throughout. The owner was very friendly and we chatted for awhile in the evening by the cozy stove. The onsen was fantastic, we even ended up buying some onsen powder to take home.
This guesthouse is really close to a fantastic ski area, and I am looking forward to coming back and staying there again! We had a little bit of an issue with the heater that kept beeping with a strange warning and were not sure if it was safe.
Also, the bathroom is shared, even though on the Booking.com listing it says that it is private.
- Sanderson (7/5): Good -
- Qils (7/5): Good -
- Alyaa (10/5): Nice stay - What I love the most is guest can use the shared bathroom with hot spring water privately. Depending on the timing you might need to wait for others to finish but we were lucky not many guests use them during the night.
- Prangtip (10/5): - Very cozy. This place makes you feel like home.
The bedroom is nice and clean. The common room, where you can put your food in the fridge, provides free coffee/tea. It is a shared bathroom that you can put “in use” sign for your own private use.
The staff is so kind. He also recommended the nearby place to see the autumn leaves. Not only the staff but also the other guests are very kind and friendly.
- Julien (6/5): Nice guest house with self cleaning - Person at check in was very nice and helpful.
The 2 onsen room with white water are amazing !
The function room is quite nice, and can guests can use fridge/freezer Room cleaning on check out day need to be done by the guests, first time experience for us !
- Verified traveler (10/5): ゲストハウス以上のサービス - 全体的に清潔。貸し切りで入れる内風呂が天然温泉100%で24時間利用可能。バスタオル、ボディタオル、歯ブラシ、浴衣が用意されているので助かった。オーナーも親切で好感が持てる。
