The hotel is really well situated, less than 10 minutes from the JR station, and on the same street as the Shrine, so there were lots of places to eat nearby. I stayed in a dorm, which had more people than I expected for a room (I think I saw at least 60 bed/lockers) so it was quite loud even at night as people kept walking in and out. The actual bed was fine, and the people at the front took their time to walk me through what to know for the hostel. The lounge is a little awkwardly partitioned, but at least you get a space to use if you need food.
The dorm itself, I think has a little too many people to be comfortable but is clean enough. The lights never turn off, but because you have a curtain, it blocks out most of it. The largest issue is the noise, since people are coming in and out at random times of the night, and the buttons to open the door are also quite loud when you're trying to sleep. If you want ear plugs, they have them for a fee at the front. Nagano overall was very nice though, and the location made it a lot easier to get around.
The location is very close to Xiaozhu Station, a small town that is very quiet. You can drink coffee for breakfast and read socially on the first floor. There is also a big supermarket nearby. Although the staff is not very good in English, they are really responsive. The design of the second floor youth travel structure is very user-friendly, and the privacy and safety are also superb. Will be willing to go again!
Friendly staff, good location, can use their bicycle freely to explore Matsumoto. Only have 2 shower room (1 upstairs 1 downstairs) so need to wait for your turn during peak hours.
The curtain can make larger to cover the entire entrance of the bed, if not I can see my neighbour entering and exiting their bed while I am sleeping.
I used it this time for climbing with a friend. The staff was also very kind!
The kitchen, dining area, washroom & shower room was also quite clean and comfortable.
This time I stayed in a Japanese-style room, but it's perfect if you think that there is a kotatsu and you just sleep!
Tickets for nearby hot spring facilities (about 5 minutes walk) were also cheaply purchased at the reception!
I would like to stay again next time.
需要共享衞浴設施的酒店,但非常乾淨整潔設施也非常好。一樓的餐廳很不錯,不需要預訂也可以吃到美味的當地食材做的料理。
價格合適,在當地算便宜,包含早餐,簡單美味。
位置一流,出門兩分鐘就是雪場售票處和巴士站。
幾乎沒有服務,不提供接送。如果晚上四點後到白馬,請前往南小谷坐bus,或者在happo下來打車。不然無法抵達。
Perfect location, 2 mins walk to Tsugaike gondola; clean and nice facilities; free and nice breakfast; foreign staff speaking English; nice staff but no service at all, please help yourself; no pick up service, suggest to drop off at happy bus terminal for taxi.
The hostess of this store is very young and beautiful, with a smile! The temperament is very good 👌👍! I visited this ”Hot Spring Street” and it was indeed the price of this ”Ape” Youth Hostel! Attach the photo taken. One person is less than NT$1,000 a night! This hot spring hotel is really cheap! The hostess of this shop is very young and beautiful with a smile on her face!The temperament is very good👌👍!I visited this ”hot spring street” and indeed the price of this ”ape” youth hostel is the most affordable! Attached are the photos taken. It's less than 1,000 Taiwan dollars per person per night! This kind of hot spring hotel is really cheap!
The first day I lived in a nine-person room, but we lived in three people and added a person's room rate. Because there were more beds, it was a bit crowded and there was no problem with the sanitary conditions. The next day I changed to a triple room. It was still possible. It is not comparable to a star hotel in the sky, but it is still possible for people who like sports. There are table tennis and billiards, and you can also play games. It is quite good to experience it.
Super friendly, helpful and knowledgeable about the area. Didn’t need to work out where to eat etc as they have it all there. Thank you Kura! :)

GGuest UserSkiing in Karuizawa in December, good location, 10 minutes drive to the ski resort. The room size is moderate, but the biggest problem is that the weather is cold, the air conditioning and heating in the room are invalid, and the temperature in the room is as cold as outside.
There is no door password and room password on the morning of the check-in day, and you will reply only if you take the initiative to ask.
GGuest UserThe staff really went above and beyond to make two ignorant Canadian tourists feel extremely welcome at a traditional Japanese Ryuken. Though there was a small language barrier, we never felt that we could not communicate our needs. The hot and cold onsen was very refreshing after walking post towns along the Nakasendo Way. The river next to the hotel made for a relaxing experience and deep sleep. Somehow, I missed the option when booking to select the dinner option, there is really no other food options in the area, and the clerk (owner) said he would put a 'simple meal' together for us for a small charge which we found acceptable. The kaiseki that followed was some of the best and most authentic Japanese food we experienced in our two weeks in Japan. The woman serving us was an absolute gem and the cat that ran the establishment was adorable. Our room was very comfortable and had a nice sitting area with a view of the river.
Only points of contention would be that that it's a little out of the way if you don't have a car, but is conveniently accessable by bus with ~10 minute walk. The facilities are a little dated, the onsen is discoloured, but I assume that is from the natural minerals. There was a stale smell (smoke) in the rooms which is a bit off-putting to non-smokers. It would appear smoking is allowed in the facility which might be a plus to some.

TTxjemI had a wonderful experience here at Cafe&Stay Castana. The room was clean and comfortable, a great find at this price! The location is great with a free parking lot available, and with a huge supermarket conveniently located beside. However, I have to especially commend the staff, they were so friendly and accommodating to our needs! As you know, sometimes travellers are disoriented and stressed, and their willingness to help is deeply appreciated. I also had to ask for directions to a doctor as I fell sick, and they went above and beyond to take care of me. I could have only experienced this humanity at a small enterprise like this, and am very grateful.
CchoiBooked for 1 night but stayed extra nights … the lodge / hostel is run by a family and you can feel the care they put into it, making everyone welcome and safe during and after the hikes.
Instead of filling up the rooms they made sure all the guest was comfortable and split up all the guest with half filled rooms. Free coffee and drop off to the tourist center and JR station, cooking station etc
Have travelled all my adult life and it’s a gem!!
