Отель Worldtreck Dinner & Guesthouse Pise, Нагано, Япония

A very interesting setup... In the front, it's a GROOVY bar/restaurant, complete with a pool table and lots of coffee table books! In the back, there's a communal kitchen/bathroom and 4 "cubbyhole" sleeping spaces to each room... My room felt a bit cramped and was without windows, but that didn't bother me at all; I was there to sleep. The sleeping space was big enough for me and the room was warm and comfortable through the night. The location is about a 15 minute walk to the station, with shops and convenience stores along the way. I felt it was a tad pricey for the sleeping space...

The bed was big and comfortable. The main area was a cool vibe. There was a kitchen to use and the host is very friendly!

That guesthouse is just fantastic. Great city, great bar but especially great staff and people coming there. Food was delicious, I still have craving for it haha. I havent tried the sauna, but I heard it’s the best ;)

I love the fact that the building is mostly built by the owner himself, with lots of the furniture being imported from countries around the world. The place also felt really cozy!

Finally, a proper backpackers hostel in Japan! I don't understand some of the previous negative comments. The host is a super sweet guy, and I found the bed really comfy and private, despite being in a dorm. I felt I had my own space with minimal noise disturbance. All the guests were really cool, the showers were fine, and great to have a kitchen. The location is excellent -- walking distance to the station and temple, the bus stop is also very close.
