I really loved my stay at Guest House Kura. Firstly the beds were really comfortable. It was lovely to have a heated blanket on my bed. The duvet was really comfortable and the room felt very cosy. Although there is only one bathroom and toilet, I never had to wait to use any of the facilities and they were always clean. You can purchase food and drinks at Guest House Kura and they have lots of recommendations of where to eat and drink locally. Tassei even organised for vegan bento boxes to be delivered to Guest House for us after our long day visiting the snow monkeys. This was such a kind gesture and he was always very acommodating of all of our needs. He even drove me to a local onsen and picked me back up afterwards. There is a Lawson’s a few minutes walk away and Suzaka station is just over a 15 minute walk. It was a great location to visit the snow monkeys from and the staff will give you all the relevant directions you need. It was a sociable hostel and I was able to meet people easily. Although it’s sociable hostel, you can also get a very nice sleep and there is a very mixed demographic staying at the hostel as I also saw families with younger children. It’s a very small quiet town which felt like a lovely escape away from the larger Japanese cities. It’s very reasonably priced to wash and dry your clothes (400 yen for a wash and dry). There is also a kitchen space available for you to cook should you wish to. Overall I would really recommend anyone to stay at Guest House.

I had an amazing experience at 1166 backpackers ! All the team is so welcoming and nice, they welcomed us with warm tea at check-in and recommended us several spots to visit around town. Each morning, we can have fresh coffee and they help us to plan our visits. I could meet many great people there. There is a working space available for guests too. If I come back to Nagano, I will definitely come again here !

We stayed here for one night and had a wonderful stay. The host was very generous as he dropped us off at an onsen and later picked us up in his car. It was our first onsen so we were very grateful he told us about it. Matsushiro is a hidden gem with lots of interesting history! The hostel was close to the bus stop - a one minute walk. And Matsushiro is only a 30 minute bus ride from Nagano. Also, the hostel is very clean and with only one dorm room felt like an intimate and genuine Japanese experience. ありがとうございます!

All hostels in Takayama

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is 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 bit more.
