+ J’ai adoré ce séjour dans cet établissement, les chambres et équipements étaient confortables. La pièce de vie commune est idéale pour passer de bons moments avec les autres résidents. Idéalement situé à deux pas de la gare.

- Der var lidt skummelt på gangene og man kunne tydeligt hører togene

+ Great location very close to Nagano station and bus stop to town and temple. There’s a few restaurants around as well so can eat close by. The staff speak english and was really supportive in getting things sorted and helping move things and do laundry. Their concept of journaling people’s stay is awesome and something I haven’t seen before but I think it helps give people encouragement to get to know others so that’s awesome.

- I personally would like a better mattress and pillow to sleep on just for additional comfort and maybe just a little more cleaner in the shared sink area but other than that great place.

+ One of the best hostels we've stayed at. We loved the japanese twist with the tatami mats in the common space and it was really clean for a hostel. We never waited for the toilet or the shower.

- The bathroom was a bit cold, but mainly due to the open window.

+ 長野駅から徒歩すぐです。海外の方がほとんどで、コミュニケーションを取りたい方にはぴったりだと思います。

- 事前に確認できていればなと思った点は、トイレやシャワーブース、洗面台など全て男女共用です。気にしなければ良いのですが、多国籍の男性が上裸で普通にはいってくるので少々落ち着かず……向こうもギョッとしてました。笑 こればかりは慣れだと思いますので、気にされる方はご参考まで……!

Hosel extremely basic, old, no beds just mattress. The location is very convenient, just steps from the train station. Bathrooms and showers only on one floor, so if you are on a different floor it’s not ideal, specially because the hallways are cold. There are no elevators. The portable heater/ac in the room is hard to control. If you just need to overnight for one night it’s ok, but I would not recommend a longer stay

Overall comfy place… but chilly as many Japanese spaces are. Staff are very friendly and even come to hang out in their time off. That says how welcoming the common area is. I will second the concern of others that the smell of kerosene was strong in some rooms, but it wasn’t bad in my room. Heat from the a/c wall unit was plenty. One small pet peeve: please add a little more heat and light in the sink area of the bathroom. Other than that staying was an excellent, if a bit earthy experienc...

+ スタッフさんの接客が良く、1階のフリースペースや台所の充実もあり、リラックスして宿泊できました。

- 建物自体は年期もので古いです。普通の清掃はされていて清潔ですが、細かなところで積もった汚れが目立ちます。掃除が得意な中年主婦などが入ってもっと磨けば良くなるのにねと思いました。
