It was very clean and the manager was so kind. Matsushiro is a bit far from nagano’s center but you can get to this guesthouse by one bus from nagano station. Which takes 45 mins. And guesthouse is only 1 minute walking from bus stop

Nao, the owner of the Dot Hostel, was extremely helpful to us. We arrived at his hostel by bicycle with a medical issue (my husband's back). Nao speaks perfect English, was able to discuss with us what we needed, and made many phone calls to find us a doctor to see my husband right away. Even after we were no longer staying at the Dot Hostel, Nao was very responsive and continued to help us navigate the Japanese medical system, including finding a physical therapist and acupuncturist. Nao has a garage where we could park our bicycles, convenient laundry, a place to hang and dry out our camping gear, strong wifi, a full well stocked kitchen that was a pleasure to use, and a comfy hangout area. The dorms were well laid out, well ventilated and cooled with openable screened windows, and the toilet and shower were spotless. I am a light sleeper, but didn't notice any noise from other rooms as described by other reviewers. The hostel is located a one minute walk from the Zenko-ji temple. The hostel is an incredible value and I would absolutely stay there again.

Great capsule area, really comfortable and decent size, minimal noise heard from other guests. The hangout space downstairs was great, and the restaurant / bar onsite was fantastic. The staff were lovely and accommodating. Great location.

All hostels in Nagano

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.

Best hostel I've been in Japan. The hosts are just the best, they are so nice and social, they really care and I had the best time there. The common area is very nice and the beds were comfortable too. They had free coffee and tea too. The washing machine was very cheap but it took a lot to dry. They give you so many nice recommendations for places to eat at and places to see. Overall a very good experience

The service is next level. We hadn't had such a warm welcome at a hostel for a while. The hot cups of tea and free snacks and scones made us feel so comfortable after a long travel day. The staff are so friendly and fun. The hostel is an old-style japanese inn so you can expect paper walls and same for the bathroom. You feel at home here and it's close to the temple and a cheap 100yr old bathhouse. A good place to connect with other travelers too

Sweet sweet people! True backpackers vibes in that cosy hostel. I felt at home there, even though my stay in Nagano was short. If you’re backpacking the region, book there without hesitation.
