I enjoyed my time resting in the living room a lot! It’s cozy and warm. People had meals, chatted with each other, or just relaxed on their own here. The host creates a wonderful atmosphere! I slept well and got fully rest! I would love to come back again. Highly recommended!

Home in Yuzawa

Very good location, 5 min walk to JR station and 2 min to the nearest onsen. Staffs are very nice and helpful. Definitely will stay again if available.

Convenient location, friendly atmosphere, and reasonable pricing.

Sansan Yuzawa Backpackers – This is my second time staying here. On this visit, I noticed that many things remained the same, while some have changed, especially the staff, who are now almost entirely Chinese. This means communication is primarily in English. Fortunately, this isn’t an issue for me, but for Japanese guests, it might cause some initial concern. However, any worries would likely disappear after a conversation, as all the staff (including the cat) are incredibly friendly, cheerful, and always ready to help. I hope this aspect remains unchanged, as it’s a key charm that makes guests want to return.

High Value Solo Weekend Trip

The homely feel of the communal area was really nice, great to see other people and relax. The drying room is really handy, and I really appreciated being able to leave some of my luggage there for a few hours.

Really comfy

Great little stay. Bed had a small desk built in to store belongings on. Cozy common area with sink, fridge, microwave, usb chargers, heater, and cats. Receptionists were kind, often greeting you upon returning. There was a drying room, likely for ski wear... but I did not investigate it.

It was great! friendly staff, cute cats, nice place to stay if you're backpacking.

loved it! The owner was really friendly and recommended shops we could visit. We also rented snowboarding gear from her friend's shop; they picked us up from the hostel and brought us back after snowboarding, so it honestly saved us time and made the entire trip easy for us.
