I stayed in a mixed dormitory on weekdays.Although it was very stylish with an old folk house feel, it was a very relaxing space that made me feel at home.There is also a drinking bar available.It was a really fun time where I was able to talk to a lot of people, relax, and expand my world.Recommended for those who like the once-in-a-lifetime experience unique to guesthouses.Sleeping on the bottom bunk bed! The futon was soft and fluffy, and the curtains made it feel like a secret base, making it an exciting space. The beds and other areas are clean and I think even women can stay there without worrying.It's conveniently located to go to Matsumoto, and it's not far from the station, so it's a guesthouse you should definitely use when you're in Matsumoto.

I had a really good time here. The location is awesome, just a ten minute walk to everything I wanted to see (train station, castle, timepiece museum, shrines) and it is a very flat walk. I had no problem with my small rolling suitcase.Staff is friendly and welcoming, They try very hard and succeed to make every guest feel at home. if I could give them 100 stars then I would. Rooms, bathrooms, kitchen, and common areas are clean and spacious. The building itself was beautiful, too. Even with the dorm-style rooms it was quiet and chill.It was a fantastic place to socialize. If you wanted to keep to yourself then you could - it's not like there's any pressure to hang out.I am very much looking forward to staying here the next time I am in Matsumoto!

It’s a welcoming guest house that’s worth the detour in Matsumoto. The team were very friendly and efficient, the Japanese style room spacious enough for a couple. The bed was comfortable and the sanitary facilities, whether mixed or reserved for women, were very well maintained. There was everything you needed (shower gel, shampoo, hairdryer, etc.) and in addition sanitary towels were provided free of charge. The common areas are warm and you can have a drink at reasonable prices while interacting with other travelers. Really a very pleasant experience.
