I have been to Japan many times but this is the first time we experienced staying in a traditional Japanese house. It was awesome, everything is great from the facilities to the host!

Everything about this place was great. The owner is so nice, so helpful, very funny and outgoing. We had lovely chats with him! Also he helped us a lot with planning our hikes and our transport. The breakfast and dinner provided were great, very healthy and fresh. The dorm room was super comfortable and cozy. The hostel is surrounded by trees and waking up there is one of the best experiences we had in Japan! Would 100% come back when visiting Japan again!

The owner was really nice and gave us a lot of recommendations for upcoming trips in Japan. The room was pretty. The onsen (Hoshino Onsen Tonbo-no-yu) nearby is really nice, would recommend.

Great place to explore Kariuzawa area. The hostel is cozy and a bus ride away from the train station on the outer bounds of town and surrounded by the forest. Great if you want to be away from all the noise, and wake up surrounded by green. There's a few onsen nearby, very convenient for after a full day of hiking. The staff/owner was incredibly friendly and he spent a good hour helping me create my itinerary for the day, suggesting hikes and times so that I do not miss the last bus back to town. Beds are comfortable and the place is kept clean.

Very friendly host, nice architecture, and cozy room. Parking is free. The area was very peaceful, and you could hear birds chirping in the morning.

Awesome spot! Yusuke is a great host and the house is very beautiful and traditional. You can find everything you need and the japanese breakfast which is made by Yusukes wife is so delicious! We would definitely come back!!!

The House was so beautiful, well decorated and clean, and in the middle of the forest ❤️. The host was also very kind and open to meet and talk with people. He has a truly interest in knowing people and their background. So my stay, was amazing. Thank you very much

Cozy place with really nice traditional tatami floors combined with a great kitchen and other modern amenities. Host is an absolute legend, really went out of his way to improve your stay. Couldn't recommend more!

The location and building area really beautiful! Waking up to birds chirping outside the very traditional looking walls was wonderful. The house itself is old but it has been renovated beautifully. The shower and bathrooms are very nice and the set up is good.
