Situated in Matsumoto and with Matsumoto Station reachable within 1 km, Couch Potato Hostel features free bikes, non-smoking rooms, free WiFi throughout the property and a shared lounge. The property is around 3.9 km from The Japan Ukiyo-e Museum, 29 km from Canora Hall and 600 metres from Matsumoto Castle. The accommodation offers a shared kitchen, and luggage storage for guests. This hostel is so lovely, one of my favourites so far. It's in an old building which is beautiful and a short walk from the railway station and the castle. The women's dorm is only four people so nice and small. You have traditional futon mattresses on a mat floor and curtains around your area. The washing machine is free to use, there are free bikes, free tea and coffee. The staff are lovely. I really wanted to come back again but they were fully booked unsurprisingly!

Hakuba Cortina Ski Area is 14 km from the hostel, while Togakushi Shrine is 41 km away. Matsumoto Airport is 67 km from the property. Starfall exceeded exceeded my every expectation! The beds were really comfortable, the staff were super helpful and the common lounge was a great place to relax with friends after a long day on the slopes. All of the facilities were private and kept beautifully clean (the showers are huge btw!). I can’t wait to stay again next season! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
