One of our favorite stays of our trip! Our hosts were so welcoming and the farmhouse itself is beautiful and so cozy, it's clear that a lot of love was put into the building. Dinner and breakfast were both fantastic, and we both developed a newfound love of barley tea while we were there :)

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

We had a wonderful stay at this incredibly beautiful old house. The inn served as the perfect overnight spot for hiking to Tsumago and Magome. Yakkun was an amazing host and told us about the history of the house and prepared hot pot and barbque for us alongside local wine and sake. Highly recommend!

We really enjoyed our stay at the cosy Zen Hostel. The room was spacious, decorated in Japanese style and had a wonderful view over Yudanaka. The toilets and showers were clean at all times. The staff were very friendly and helpful. They helped us book a private onsen and we were able to rent skis and ski clothes directly from them at the hostel. This was easy and cheap compared to other rentals. They also made sure that there was always a cosy fire burning in the fireplace in the common area when you came home from the cold. Thank you very much for a great time!

Gaspard the owner/operator is fantastic! Great guy and very knowledgable about Hakuba. His backpackers lodge is great fun. Would definitely recommend this to people travelling to Hakuba. Great opportunities to socialise and meet new people! Liam and Bianca the staff were also very helpful and great fun.

The best hostel I have ever been in. Great food and Sake in the restaurant and the Onsen is wonderful after a day of hiking. It is a bit old school but I love that. You can also easily reach Lake Misuzu by foot.

The location, 5 min walk from the Nagano station, was ideal to us. Nagano is a really small city, so you are at a quick stroll from everywhere. Another good point is that the hostel offers free of charge soft drinks and coffee from 4PM to 10 AM. The facilities were clean and in good shape, the bunk beds were confortable and with privacy.
