The location is great, next to Matsumoto Castle, a 5-minute walk, and you can go to see the night view of Matsumoto Castle at night. There are many restaurants and paid parking spaces nearby. There is a kitchen, kitchen utensils, pots, bowls, cups and a lounge for use. Shared bathroom facilities. The century-old building was renovated and the rooms are not soundproofed.

Very good service, available maps of places near mitsumoto, available album of highly recommended dishes for guests, and importantly free bicycles. Hostel is cute, neat, clean.

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.

One of the most memorable highlights in my trip. Amazing stay and the vibe of the hostel is fabulous. Close to the train and bus stations. Few mins walk to the castle. Lots of good restaurants nearby. Please visit the Couch Potatoes hostel if you are staying in Matsumoto! :)))
