Host was really nice and gave us a lot of informations about where to ski in the area

The location is in the city centre.Walkable distance to train station

“I had a great time!”

I had a great time it a really great hostel! The hosts are very nice and welcoming, the cats are adorable, the whole place is clean and has everything you possibly need. The location is also nice its pretty close to the station. Over all i had a nice stay and highly recommend to everyone looking for an affordable place in Asahikawa!

The cats

clean and tidy, cozy room, the host is really thoughtful, and the two managers Yone & Suki are so adorable

“Top notch stay with great hosts”

The home feel to the place was so warming, social, clean, and an overall great stay. Will deffinetly return when i come back to japan one day.

“Thank you Tetsu and partner!!!”

The operators were super kind and helpful. I was going off on a big hike and didn't know when I'd be back. I left my duffel bag of extra items with them and they watched over it for me until I returned. The cats are also super cute. There was also free breakfast of cereal. You can also use the fridge and stove. It's got everything you need in a backpackers', really!

“Good location and friendly place ‘”

The host is really nice, also the location is great as well.

Friendly, simple, and cheap. Perfect for backpackers.

“Very rigid and short stay. Late check in, early check lut.”

Very peaceful. Nice owners.

“Very comfortable and convenient.”

Loved breakfast and the location. The whole space was very homely, and perfect if you like snow sports (there's plenty of hire gear!!). The ashikawa winter festival surrounds it. The dorm space was lovely, warm and had good storage options.

“Great Spot to ski out of asahikawa!”

Great kitties, very nice staff. The ski storage situation is definitely a bit lacking but I like the rooms, good kitchen, great location, good vibes.

“Would come here again, best hostel I’ve stayed in so far!”

The location was great, 20 Minute walk from the station, very kind owners as well. There was breakfast available (cereal and yogurt) as well as a washing machine and dryer, the showers were clean and it was cozy and warm in the entire hostel. You also had surprisingly much privacy in the beds

Perfect place to stay and go skiing! Ski rental available for very reasonable prices and close by the bus stop. Also very nice and helpful owner. I would definitely stay here again!

“Nice hostel with outdoor rental service”

Nice place where you can meet good people, directly in the pedestrian zone of Asahikawa. Small and very hostel with cute cats and outdoor rental Service. Owner Tetsu was very nice and was supporting me with my shipping luggage and finding a backcountry guide preseason. Will return at the end of my Hokkaido trip.

“Better than what I'd hoped for; will definitely stay here again and recommend to others.”

The owners/hosts are very kind and helpful. They were easy to find if I had any issues, and seemed happy to answer any questions I had about the area. The social space is WONDERFUL with access to a nice kitchen and a table with multiple seat options next to a large span of windows. They also have a washer and dryer if you need to do laundry (which I didn't, but the option was nice). There is an option for a female-only dormitory, and at night it LOCKS, which is amazing peace of mind. They're also very strict and up-front about their courtesy and sound rules, so I was able to sleep peacefully through the night without people talking or packing their suitcases. There are little cubbies you can lock your personal belongings in. (With a key!! Not some random code you might forget.) It's not the largest cubby, but it can fit your computer, camera, passport, etc inside easily. The bed/bunk itself was VERY nice. Each bunk has a futon resting on top of tatami mats, so it's very comfortable to sleep on. There was a BIG pillow, and an extra blanket. There is also some hanging-storage provided for personal belongings, and a clothes-line if you need it. There's also room to put your suitcase and hang your coat. (There's also a light and a MINI FAN. AMAZING.) Also, unlike many hostels, the curtain/bunk is also laid out LONG-ways, so it truly feels like you're in a bunk and not a coffin-sized box. I didn't see it advertised at ALL, but it's conveniently located next to a street that is FILLED with pop-up food shops. It was delightful to have access to so many foods (and desserts) nearby. Genuinely forgot about about the cat(s) until I arrived and saw the sign warning not let them out. (A bonus surprise from my forgetful past self.) There were two; one is much more sociable than the other, though they're both delightful.

“Clean and reliable place to go to for a few nights!”

The staff was really nice, the curtains closed really well and the ventilation was good. The breakfast was a nice touch.

“Comfortable sleep”

It's compact but very clean and tidy. The bathrooms and social areas are well kept. The bed space itself is quite comfortable: it has a light, a fan and some space besides the mattress for a couple of backpacks. Also there are free earplugs if snorers don't let you sleep. The cats are relaxed and let you pet them sometimes. You can have free coffee. The washing machine and dryer are very cheap. The shower has got good pressure -although it's a bit narrow. Internet works well too.

The guesthouse is well located. Not too far from the train station; right next to a bus stop that brings you to Asahidake; and in the middle of a shopping/restaurant district (but you will hear nothing from the street). There are a lot of cooking ustensils, which is perfect in case you need to cook anything. The shareda"dry" food storage was a bit small, but you can put your food in your own locker if you don't have a lot. The beds are quite big with a platform to store our stuff. There was also a clothesline for each bed and a lot of hangers which was perfect for me because my clothes don't go in the dryer. That was really a huge plus for me. The owners was quite nice. They recommended me a sheep restaurant that was delicious.

“Central Location, near to many restaurants and cafes”

One thing that really impresses me is the centrality of the location of this hostel. Barely 10min walk to the JR Asahikawa Station and the Bus Terminal. Very convenient to move around the city. Free coffee and cereal are provided. There is also a free locker service. One of the best offers is the nearby Kazokutei restaurant which offers very affordable and delectable meal sets at less than 1,000 yen. I ate there 3 times! If you could rough it out and don’t mind paying premium price e, this can be a good option in a central location.
