With free WiFi, this 1-star hostel offers a shared kitchen and a concierge service. Guests can make use of a bar. Everything. From Gaspards hospitality to his organisation, everything is easy, smooth and streamlined. Multiple shuttles to either the main bus terminal (where all the busses to the resorts go from), or if there's a bunch of people going to a close resort, you get dropped to the door. Awesome.

Location is fantastic to continue your journey on the trail whether you're heading towards Kyoto or Tokyo. They have an alcohol menu as well to help you enjoy the local sake which is very reasonably priced!

Situated in Suzaka, 1.9 km from Suzaka City Zoo, Guest House Kura features accommodation with a garden, free private parking and a shared lounge. This 1-star hostel offers a shared kitchen, a concierge service and free WiFi. The property is non-smoking and is set 14 km from Zenkoji Temple. We've never experienced such friendliness and care before. The staff did above and beyond by anticipating all our needs and helping us visit many local attracttions. Kura Guesthouse is unique in how it connects the travellers to the local community, so almost every night we got a chance to meet young local people who come to the guesthouse just to hang out and practice English. Marina-san and her staff are the most amazing hosts we ever had. Every night we talked for hours with them and with other guests. The guesthouse is very accessible, only 40 minutes from Nagano by convenient public transport, and the local towns Suzaka, Obuse and Yudanaka have so much to offer that we felt like we just want to explore more and more. We stayed at Kura for 6 days, did nature hikes, saw beautiful temples and waterfalls, visited art museums and nice cafes, and there's still so much more to see that we couldn't fit in 6 days!
