Kutsukake Stay Naka-Karuizawa

My new favorite in Japan

Reviewed By TJW66

This is my new favorite place to stay in Japan! The owners were sweet, friendly, and attentive. The common areas were decorated in a lovely mountain-home style with a little Hawaiian flare thrown in. Each time I came back from sightseeing, the lounge was warm and there was great background jazz playing. I stayed in the female dorm room, and was really comfortable (the futon was really hard, but otherwise the bedding is pretty nice). The public bath for guests was perfect - clean, smelling of cedar, and open at convenient hours. For the money, the location, hospitality, and comfort can't be beat. I'll be back soon!

Fine if you’re used to hostels

Reviewed By thelonious22

As there wasn’t much accommodation available in Tokamachi, we booked a room at Sansan-Cafe and Bar & Backpackers near Echigo-Yuzawa Station. For a simple guesthouse, the private room was a bit pricey. One floor had four small private room and another had two dormitory rooms. Fortunately we were the only guests staying so using the limited number of showers and toilets wasn’t an issue but this probably would be if most of the beds and rooms are full here. The room was quite stuffy even with the air conditioning running. The room reeked of stale tatami smell which would linger on all of our clothes even after leaving. All the space in the house is very tight including the small common area. This guesthouse would be adequate only for travelers who are used to staying at hostels.

Kagelow Mt. Fuji Hostel Kawaguchiko

Stylish and comfortable

Reviewed By Canadian_Girl613

One of the best looking hostels I have stayed at in Japan, everything was very clean and the female dorm offered great views of Mt Fuji. Beds were comfortable, and staff at check-in were very friendly. Good location not too far from station. We ate at the restaurant one night, food and drink presentation was great, but taste was ok. The food was extremely salty. On checkout (a Tuesday) I was told the hostel was closed for the day and I could not leave my bag or enjoy any of the other hostel's services. This was extremely inconvenient as I then had to go find and pay for somewhere else to leave my bag. Some heads up upon check in would have been nice, as I have never in my years of travel heard of a hostel randomly closing in the middle of the week and offering no services to their guests.

Guesthouse Raicho

Our guesthouse Raicho where is located in Norikura Highland, Nagano Prefecture, situated 1,500 meters above sea level and is surrounded by wonderful nature. 100% Natural hot spring (sulfurous; ‘Onsen’) is available both indoors and outdoors. Heal your body in the Onsen, and free your mind in the untouched wilderness of the Japan Northern Alps!

Nice stay

Reviewed By JaviGlaswey

This is a nice guesthouse with private onsen (which you can use with no extra fee!). The rooms are basic but comfortable; the beds are typical japanese style (futon on a tatami floor) and are surprisingly very comfortable. The comunal areas are very clean and modern. It does not have the backpacker atmosphere that I was expecting but it is still very nice. The location is remote (in the middle of the Japanese alps) which may make it difficult to access and but it provides with amazing views and great hiking spots. The host, Yuma, offers to pick you up from the nearest bus station, we did not need it as we had a car.

Hidden Treasure in Suzaka, Nagano Prefecture

Reviewed By Pat G

Guest House Kura was incredible. We were originally booked for 4 nights but ended up staying 5. We just didn't want to leave. Marina and Yuuri are outstanding hosts and the atmosphere is warm and friendly. The house is over 100 yrs. old and is a classic Japanese home with sliding doors and tatami floors. A piece of Japanese history. The little café attached to the guest house, La Vie Lente is run by Marina's mom and serves the BEST Tart Tatin we had ever had and doubles as a communal dining room in the evenings. Just charming! One of the best things about staying there is returning at the end of the day and spending the evenings chatting with Yuuri and Marina and the other guests in the lounge. It truly feels like home. Any barriers of language and culture between guests from all parts of the world are quickly forgotten as you get to know each other. Don't miss out on this wonderful experience. Priceless!
