Great location near the station, great eateries, supermarkets, bus stop to the Zengji temple and mountain temples (Tongusha) right outside. So convenient. The pod was very spacious, and quiet (I asked for the one facing window wall), bathroom and shower in the room, locker. Washer/dryer on the floor. Cosy working space and bar in the ground area.

The staff are very friendly and helpful with super recommendations for restaurants! Also the soda water and other small perks of the hostel were nice. Being near the train station was very convenient in the summer heat with my luggage. A short walk.

All hostels in Nagano

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's 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 little more.

    Best hostel I've been in Japan. The hosts are just the best, they are so nice and social, they really care and I had the best time there. The common area is very nice and the beds were comfortable too. They had free coffee and tea too. The washing machine was very cheap but it took a lot to dry. They give you so many nice recommendations for places to eat at and places to see. Overall a very good experience

    The service is next level. We hadn't had such a warm welcome at a hostel for a while. The hot cups of tea and free snacks and scones made us feel so comfortable after a long travel day. The staff are so friendly and fun. The hostel is an old-style japanese inn so you can expect paper walls and same for the bathroom. You feel at home here and it's close to the temple and a cheap 100yr old bathhouse. A good place to connect with other travelers too

    Sweet sweet people! True backpackers vibes in that cosy hostel. I felt at home there, even though my stay in Nagano was short. If you’re backpacking the region, book there without hesitation.

    I needed somewhere to sleep on a tight budget as I had mis understood and booked elsewhere . This was the perfect solution. I have never used accomodation like this. I found it comfortable, exceptionally clean and safe.

    Best hostel I've stayed in in Japan so far. The hostess was SO sweet and kind, and the while place is very cozy and feels like home. Definitely worth the 20 mins walk from the train station
