Hostels in Nagano Prefecture, Japan

"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."

"This is a youth hostel. I booked a separate double bed with a bathroom. It's the off-season now. The price is expensive compared to hotels in Karuizawa. It can be said that there is no comparison. First of all, the location is not good. It takes more than 25 minutes to walk from the station and 20 minutes to the bus terminal. It's quite far to walk to play. It's like hiking. Because it is a youth hostel, you can cook by yourself, and it has all the seasonings, tea, and coffee. It is very clean and the surroundings are very quiet. When we stayed there, we saw one or two other single backpackers and a foreign manager who often stayed in the hostel. I don't understand why accommodation in Hakuba Village is so expensive during the off-season😂😂"

"信大に用があり、以前はカフェだったこちらを利用しました。信大横田（横田信大）循環線の追分から近く、岡田線のバス停からもすぐなのでアクセスはとても良いです。衛生面については本当に最高です。公共エリアはすべて掃除が行き届いており、気持ちよく使うことができます。男女のエリアがしっかり分られているため女性も安心です。　また表の方で夜は食事をすることもできるため、駅前まで出かける必要がないのもいいですね。デリシアもすぐなのて買い物にも困りません。料金に含まれていた朝食も十分な量で美味しかったです。今でも良いドミトリーだったなあと思い返すほど良い宿泊体験でした。"

"The staff were very kind and helpful! There were four bicycles available for us to use, which was a lot of fun! The accommodation has a shower, but there was a public bath nearby, so we went there by bicycle! There was a guitar and a hammock in the common area, so we could enjoy ourselves! It was a little inconvenient that the sink wasn't in the room but in the common area, and we were a little disappointed that we couldn't eat or drink in the room, and that there were no tissues or mirrors in the room. 😢 My friend and I were both very satisfied!"

"The hotel is very close to the Tsugaike Kogen ski gondola, which is super convenient. The place is clean and has a very homey vibe. I really loved it. Since I came at the end of ski season, it was very quiet with not many people around, which made it even more relaxing. One funny moment was arriving at night, we had to check in at Unplanned 1 but our room was at Unplanned 2, so we got a bit lost. Overall, everything was great and I’d definitely recommend staying here!"

"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."

"the location is outstanding near zenkoji. It is a small private house renovated by private houses and merchants. It is very cheap for the location. It is enough for a man's solo trip, but it is recommended for young people."

"Japanese-style family hotel, Japanese sliding door, the proprietress is very enthusiastic, and she gave me Nagano peaches to eat at night, chatting together, very fun and happy! !"

"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!"
