Best place for groups

Reviewed By giulianjung

It’s a really nice place to come with a group of 5+ people, you’ll pay less then ¥5000, and it’s really comfortable, you’ll also have a little view of Mount Fuji but not completely. People on the balcony are nice and they speak English. You’ll have to share a bath and toilet area but it’s clean and organized.

Mt. Fuji Hostel Michael's

Michael Saved My Life

Reviewed By Pali A

Winter. I came to climb Mt Fuji. How difficult could it be? It's a gradual slope and even senior citizens are strolling on Fuji's incline from one snack shop to the next. But there's a climbing season. People are advised to not climb Fuji outside of summer. If you do, Michael wanted me to sign a release form which would allow him to go thru my things in case of my death. Since my backpack is filled with Adult Toys which I didnt want him & his Filipino staff to see, I decided to not climb it. Thanks, Michael, you might have saved my life. 1. Strong WiFi. 2. Lots of hot water & good water PRESSURE. 3. Bunks have curtains & lamps but no elec sockets. 4. Soap, shampoo, conditioner (i'm bald). 5. Tea & coffee. I stayed at 3 hostels in Fuji Yoshida. See what I think of all of them.

Great value!

It's conveniently located, although a little difficult to find at the beginning. The owner is super friendly and helpful. The building is quite old but pretty clean. The owner has a very quiet and small dog.

Usually I research for weeks before a trip but this was a last minute opportunity to see the snow monkeys. My train ticket was held up and so I wasn't sure I would be able to go so booked this on the train wifi on the way there. They responded quickly to a query and the key things for me were near the train station, free shuttle to the monkey park and restaurant on site. I wanted to try an Onsen so had already decided on a Royokan. The twin room was spacious and the beds comfortable. I was close to the Womens bathroom so very convient. All areas were spotlessly clean. Being winter the heating system was very effective. I could not have been happier with my choice. The staff were extremely friendly and gave me valuable advice for my first time dip. The Royokan if perfectly placed to wander to the 9 Onsen in the village and only a couple of doors from a very expensive looking hotel. I was too tired to try the restaurant in the evening but the breakfast was a great way to start the day. My only disappointment is that I could not stay longer. I would happily return to the area and if I do, I will definitely stay here again.

Matsumoto BackPackers

Just five minutes from Matsumoto station and ten minutes from the city's famous castle, Matsumoto BackPackers offers friendly accommodation in an old Japanese house with a small garden. We offer simple hostel-style dormitory accommodation in a Japanese setting (futon mattress beds and woven straw tatami flooring). All our guests are young or young at heart so come and join them for a night or two!

windy & cold

Reviewed By tomonfire

Overall one of the worst hostel experiences I've ever had. But let's start with: The good things: - wifi worked very well - location is close to train station (though the city is small and almost any accomodation can be considered as close to the station) The bad things: - this is an old japanese family house and not built to host around twenty people. everything is thight and gets quickly dirty. - the old house does not protect from weather conditions. i stayed there for two nights. in the first night the temperature in my dorm was 3 deg. in the second night it was 5 deg. i could feel the wind blowing throughout the night. the building is not isolated at all and has no (!) heating. - most disappointing to me was the behaviour of the owner. when i did realize in the evening that the room has no heating i asked, almost begged, the staff to heat the room with the one mobile heater they have. but the staff told me that the owner doesnt want to heat the room up. he simply didnt care about our sleep and our health. after the two nights i did get a strong cold. not so nice when you are on your once-in-a-life japan journey. the owner also didnt provide any solution to the problem in the second night (even though I asked the staff again to do sth). my feeling is that the owner wants to make as much money as he can with the old building and gives a sh** on the basic needs of his guests (protection from uncomfortable weather conditions is the one thing i can expect from any accomodation).

Mountain Hut Myoko

Mountain hut Myoko is a ski lodge at the base of Ikenotiara ski resort in Myoko Kogen Japan. A relaxing and comfortable guesthouse that caters to everyone based in one of the snowiest places on earth.

Must visit place in Ikenodaira!

Reviewed By huangshihting

We had a perfect long stay in the hut. It is a lovely hut nearby Ikenodaira ski resort, you can walk to the lift within 15mins and ride your snowboard back. There's a standalone dry room beside the hut. The rooms are tidy and clean. The bath and shower function perfectly, hot water is sufficient. You can find all cookers you would need in the big kitchen. Highly recommend it to all snowboard/ski lovers!

Would give 6/5 if I could

Reviewed By LydiaDB

The couple that worked there were so kind, helpful and went above and beyond for my friends and I. I injured my knee on my first day of skiing and they really helped me out. They also took everyone to the grocery store and provided excellent advice RE snow sports and itineraries. I am so so grateful. With regards to the accommodation it was so clean, comfortable and the living area was beautiful - this made it much easier while being injured. It was a very short walking distance from the chairlift for hakuba goryu which made everything so easy!

Miyukinomori Youth Hostel

A Hidden Gem

Reviewed By SHU F

I am fortunate and extremely luck to stay 高社山麓みゆきの杜ユースホステル for my holidays in Iiyama. This is not an ordinary hostel, it is a home. It is cute, cosy, warm and welcoming. It is run by Mr Nkamura and his wife. They look after and care about every guest who comes to stay with them. The foods they served are proper home cooked; excellent and delicious. Mr Nakamura is passionate about building train models, the display in the lobby is impressive and fascinating. With Mr Nakamura' s supports and helps, I was able to complete Shinetsu Trail within 3 days, what an amazing host he is. He generously shares his local knowledge with everyone to make sure you enjoy your time here. When you need a help, he is always there willing to lend his hands for you. He helps you to plan the best routes for the places you want to visit. What's a great hospitality, it is a place you would love to come back again and again.

Reviewed By Canadian_Girl613

There are very limited options for budget hostels in Nagano, and this one was in an excellent location. The staff were friendly but the amount of rules was excessive. Time restrictions on everything you do in the hostel could be quite frustrating. If they want to have this many rules, they should reduce the price as this was at the higher end of the price range for Japanese hostels. The beds were fine, but the pillows were terrible. Essentially a bean bag, not even a real pillow. I had serious neck pains from trying to sleep on this and ended up just sleeping on my sweater. Overall it is clean, and fine for a couple of nights if you are looking for somewhere to crash on a budget.
