Couch Potato Hostel

Matsumoto

All rooms in the hostel are fitted with a coffee machine. Couch Potato Hostel offers some rooms that have a safety deposit box, and the rooms include a shared bathroom with a bidet and a hairdryer. All units feature bed linen. Take, the owner of the hostel, is a very welcoming, friendly nice guy. He apparently runs the hostel all by himself with help from friends sometimes. He lives there as well. The hostel is well maintained, very clean and spacious. There are two mixed dormitories downstairs, two single beds and two three-bed rooms upstairs. Two toilets and a shower downstairs, and one toilet and shower upstairs. The place feels very homely. I met quite a few other solo travellers that night during my stay and we all had a lovely chat. It was a great atmosphere. Take even goes out of his way to recommend me dinner options and next day itinerary recommendations. Guy has a drawn map for evening and morning food options, as well as biking and walking route for sightseeing. For the nearby onsen, take prepares a shower kit for guests to bring for use over there. Honestly I felt well taken care of, in a safe and comfortable location. The living room and kitchen is free to use for guests. Matsumoto felt like a safe town too and everywhere was easily accessible on foot or on bike. It is a hostel I will visit again for sure.

Guesthouse Kazenowa 1 stars

Asahi

Set in Asahi, 19 km from The Japan Ukiyo-e Museum, Guesthouse Kazenowa offers accommodation with a garden, free private parking and a terrace. This 1-star hostel offers a shared kitchen and free WiFi. The property is non-smoking and is located 21 km from Matsumoto Station. It is much more than a guesthouse. It is a family stay. You will get to eat Japanese food with the owners, Wakuw and Ayano, and their three charming children. The place is in nature, not close to shops or transportation, but this is also part of the charm. If you do not have a car, it is best to discuss this with the owners. I stayed for 5 nights, used it as a base for traveling to nearby nature reserves (Kamikochi, Norikura) all within an hour’s drive, and had a great time. Meeting other travelers was also a great experience.

Guest House Kura 1 stars

Suzaka

Situated in Suzaka, within 1.9 km of Suzaka City Zoo and 14 km of Zenkoji Temple, Guest House Kura features accommodation with a shared lounge and as well as free private parking for guests who drive. Featuring a garden, the 1-star hostel has air-conditioned rooms with free WiFi, each with a shared bathroom. The accommodation offers a shared kitchen, a concierge service and luggage storage for guests. The best stay during our tour of Japan. This is the perfect feel of what a hostel should be like, a place to meet people who are also travelling and want a sense of community with fellow travellers. After 7pm there is not much to do in the region of Nagano/Suzaka, so socialising and drinking sake with others was an unforgettable way to pass time. The owners are very pleasant and they went to the local market to buy local delicacies for us all to share. Considering we travelled to the area just to visit the Snow Monkeys, this turned out to be our favourite stop and location
