Great onsen (better than the nine public onsens), fantastic facility (big room, heated table, balcony,...). We were very happy there.

It was definitely the most welcoming place I have stayed at recently. I extended my stay for one more night right after the first evening here. The staff is very friendly and helpful, and they truly manage to create a “back home” feeling. I like places where you are surrounded by people but can still enjoy your own space — and this was exactly that kind of place. I would definitely come back if I find myself in Nagano again. And since Nagano is a city full of activities, three days and three nights turned out to be the perfect amount of time to explore and enjoy it to the fullest!

We stayed here for one night and had a wonderful stay. The host was very generous as he dropped us off at an onsen and later picked us up in his car. It was our first onsen so we were very grateful he told us about it. Matsushiro is a hidden gem with lots of interesting history! The hostel was close to the bus stop - a one minute walk. And Matsushiro is only a 30 minute bus ride from Nagano. Also, the hostel is very clean and with only one dorm room felt like an intimate and genuine Japanese experience. ありがとうございます!

All hostels in Takayama

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.
