    The staff are very friendly and helpful with super recommendations for restaurants! Also the soda water and other small perks of the hostel were nice. Being near the train station was very convenient in the summer heat with my luggage. A short walk.

    The living room is very cozy and the staff are so friendly. The shared kitchen has everything you need and remains clean. It takes about 5 minutes to get from the Nagano station.
