Hostel Matsumoto BackPackers
390-0863 Nagano, Matsumoto, Shiraita 1-1-6, Japan – Great location - show map
Very nice staff with a lot of tips for what to do around Matsumoto. Comfy Japanese-style house with Kotatsu. Friendly atmosphere. Very good location 6 min from Matsumoto station and close to the river and the castle.
JapanVery comfortably small and novel. Limited number of guests made for fun social enviroment. Very close to Station. Quiet. Perhaps the most cheapest Japanese style accomodation yet in our 3 weeks. Host: Phillip very welcoming.

Matsumoto Backpackers Hostel was a large Japanese family home when Brian and Shuko found it. After extensive renovation, they have now turned into a friendly and comfortable hostel, while still retaining the authentic look and feel of the building and rooms, including beautiful original woodwork. The Japanese-style 'tatami' flooring, made from braided rice straw, is warm and comfortable. The futon beds are traditionally Japanese, and are placed directly on the tatami. With a luxurious quilt on top, your Japanese hostel experience is complete!
