From the moment I arrived until the last minute of my departure, my experience at this accommodation was nothing short of phenomenal. The owner and staff went above and beyond to ensure my stay was as comfortable and enjoyable as possible. Their friendliness and willingness to assist with any request added a warm, personal touch that made me feel not just a guest, but a part of their family. The evening meals were a highlight of my stay, each night presenting a delicious array of traditional Japanese dishes that were both a delight to the taste buds and a homage to the local cuisine. The dedication to authenticity and quality was evident in every bite, and it was an absolute pleasure to dine there each evening. The comfort of the beds deserves a special mention. I enjoyed restful nights of sleep, waking up refreshed and ready to explore the nearby attractions. Speaking of which, the location's proximity to the Sanosaka ski resort was perfect for me. This lesser-known gem provided ample opportunities for skiing without the crowds, enhancing the enjoyment of my winter sports experience. Additionally, the offer of transportation to other ski resorts in the area was a thoughtful touch that allowed for effortless exploration of the region's diverse slopes. The charm of the house, with its older architecture, added an element of enchantment to the stay. It felt like stepping into a cozy, historical haven that provided a unique contrast to the modernity of everyday life. This, combined with the exceptional hospitality and the serene location near the Sanosaka ski resort, made my stay an unforgettable experience.

Very clean and comfortable rooms, the owner cooks amazing food and took excellent care of us. He even showed us around town as we didn’t have a car, told us a bit about the towns history and was kind enough to take us to the train station when we left. 10/10 will be coming back if I get the chance!

his is one of the best homestays/minshuku I've stayed in Japan. The host is very responsive before, during, and after the stay. Even though the bathroom and showers are shared, all the facilities are clean and the amenities provided, such as coin laundry, a fully-stocked kitchen, and a cosy common area, really exceeded my expectations. AEON mall / supermarket is 5 minutes away and the JR station/bus terminal is about 20 minutes away on foot. Easy peasy in terms of access. Highly recommend!

The hosts were amazing! They were really helpful and friendly and made sure we had everything we needed. The home was unique as it was previously a cafe and it was sparkling clean and very comfortable. Lovely children's books and magazines.

You might see the incredible ratings for this property and think “Surely that must be some sort of exaggeration.” I can confidently tell you after staying with Chikako and Koji-San that they deserve every star they have and more. The hard work and care they put into the Guest House and customers can be felt through every nook and cranny of the property. You can tell that they care deeply about the guests and have a passion for hospitality and high level of service. I was picked up by Koji-san from the bus terminal to the Guest House where Chikako welcomed me and showed me the premises. I was traveling solo and booked a female dorm room, a cozy traditional room with tatami flooring. The property also has a great hot bath that rejuvenates the body after a day of skiing or snowboarding. You can put down your name on a whiteboard for breakfast time and which slope you would like to go to. In the morning Chikako made breakfast for all of us that consisted of eggs, toast, bacon, coffee, cornflakes, yogurt, orange juice; everything you need. Then Koji-san drove me to the slope of my choice and even picked me up after. I couldn’t have wished for better hosts, they made me feel so welcome and safe that I will definitely come back again with family and friends to show them this wonderful hidden gem in the Japanese Alps.

Such a lovely, cosy hostel with ample common area to chat with other travellers. They have a little bar area and the hostel owner was so nice to also introduce travellers to each other, it was so nice meeting and talking to everyone, including the friendly staff. I also used the common area to do some quiet work in the morning while they cleaned - they didn't seem to mind, though they had to clean, which was really sweet of them.

The house is amazing and the rooms are nice and clean as well. I enjoyed soaking in the bath after a hike. The hosts were very helpful and friendly, they also offered us a ride to the bus stop a couple of times and at the end of our stay to the nearby trainstation. The breakfast in the morning was great with fresh fruits and delicious homemade soup!

Spent one night in Hakuba (in May, so off season). I was welcomed by very kind host who showed me around. From the very beginning I felt relaxed and "at home". The facility is not very modern, but it has its style and it's not fake! It's almost like Obergurgl in Austria which gives a bit of magic to your travel through Japan. If I was to come to Hakuba for skiing I would absolutely went for Pension Obergurgl!

Our stay at Hoshizora no Akari was the most wonderful part of our Japanese trip. Our host is extremely attentive, generous, and welcoming; he knows how to make you feel comfortable in his guesthouse. The rooms are simple but very pleasant, the private onsen is a dream, and the location of the place is ideal for staying in the region and going on beautiful hikes. We highly recommend it! Thank you again for everything.

Homely cozy setting in a very quiet wooded area at Naka-Karuizawa. I booked a bed in a 4 bed dorm but ended up having the whole room to myself. Host is friendly.

The hosts are a very lovely couple. They organized the luggage delivery service for me to my next hostel, since on the english version of the delivery website you can't do it online. And she took the time to anwer all my questions about recommendations regarding food places. All in all a very pleasant stay in Nawate Guesthouse.
