Matsumoto BackPackers
390-0863 Nagano, Matsumoto, Shiraita 1-1-6, Japan – Great location - show map
Incredible location 5 mins from the station and 10 mins walk from the best onsen I have been to in Japan. Brian (one of the owners) also provided excellent guidance on how to get the most out of Matsumoto, a real locals advice! Best value for money hostel I have been to in Nippon, top notch on all account - thanks for a great 4 nights in Matsumoto :)

The host, Brian, was very friendly and accommodating. The hostel is centrally located and within easy walking distance to the train station, shops, and the castle. so great if you arrive by public transport. Brian let me park my motorcycle in the porch which was very nice.

The owner was very kind. The place is near the station.

Excellent customer service. The owner is very kind and the place is clear, well located and comfortable.

Basic but clean and cosy hostel. Great location and owner is a really nice guy!

Excellent location! Close to the JR Matsumoto station, amazing restaurants and Matsumoto Castle.

Great experience in a typical Japanese house with futons. The rooms are large and comfortable. It was cold in Mastumoto but the host warmed our rooms well.

We all had hot water bottles prepared on our beds it was really nice we all loved it! Really really friendly host too, loved the whole vibe of the house! Even offered a bed for an extra friend but he already got another hostel cause we did not expect it

The location is perfect close to the station, and to many restaurants and interesting spots. Staff is friendly and allowed us to leave our bags on the last day. The house was perfectly clean.

Great location to go downtown in the evening. The house has a traditional Japanese feel and laid back atmosphere.
