Will definitely stay here again- we had a car and city parking was also super easy for us- definitely a cool place! Cant recommend it enough!

This is a little gem of a place! Takeru-san is a wonderful and kind host. The space is warm and welcoming, clean and bright. Our Japanese style triple room was peaceful and so comfortable. The shower is great. We met other travelers in the common area. I think this might have been my favorite stay in Japan. I would come back here just to stay at Couch Potato 😀. Thank you to the hosts!

This is one of my favorite hostels I have ever been to. I felt very comfortable hanging out in the common area and the other guests and host were so nice. I definitely want to come back and stay for more than one night. If you are in Matsumoto I highly recommend this location.

Best hostel in Japan!
Excellent hostel in best location. The bedding is superbly comfortable, and the 4-bed family room with sleeping platforms was spacious and quiet. The showers are large. The kitchen is very well appointed, with a range of appliances as well as complimentary tea and real coffee. First rate hospitality from the host. I absolutely recommend this hostel.
