The idea of making a school into hostel is so creative. Love the atmosphere which makes me feek like I am actually back to becoming a student. The front desk is super helpful and friendly too! Recommend this to everyone who is going to stay in Magome :)

This hostel has been cleverly created from the former school building just outside the picture-postcard town of Magome. The beautiful timber interior is actually reminiscent of a traditional ski chalet and all of the rooms are open and spacious - including the dormitories where beds are located in purpose built capsules or behind partition curtains. All staff are friendly anc helpful. Guests can also get a free lift in hostel’s minibus each evening to an onsen and restaurant at a nearby hotel/resort. There’s a massive kitchen at the hostel if you prefer to prepare your own meals but tea/coffee and a basic breakfast are all offered for free in the lounge area. This all adds up to a great value-for-money stay in the heart of Nakasendo Trail country.

Great accommodation, highly recommend
Great accommodation for a traveler with limited budget. Clean, comfortable and the staff are super kind and friendly (they speak basic English). One of the staff gave me a lift to Nakatsugawa station on my last day. The accommodation includes simple breakfast (bread, eggs and hot drinks) which was very helpful, too. Highly recommend for young travelers from overseas.

A former children’s school, converted to a friendly and unique hostel - closest to a “capsule hotel“ experience but without drunk businessmen. Very spacious and scenic, perfect location for hiking the trails through the ancient villages close by.

Simply breath taking
I was meant to travel to Tokyo, but a crazy Tokyo weekend had me search for a more out of the way venture. In comes Magome, and particularly gaku. This place was an oasis, a haven in an full travel schedule, the beauty, the sharp change in rhythm, the wonderful place was simply breathtaking. Do it!!!!

The staff were super helpful, bringing us to a gorgeous local onsen in the evening and explaining how it all worked. I had been a little nervous about the curtained twin room in a dormitory, but it ended up working out fine. There is a little safe for valuables between the beds. A simple complimentary breakfast was included. Location is very convenient and quiet.

Excellent Stay
This guest house provided a wonderful stay during our Magome to Tsumago hike on the well maintained section of the former Nakasendo trail. Other guests were respectful of the rules and very quiet. Customer service was excellent. I would highly recommend to friends and family.

Hostel in Form von Dportinternat. Super. Total gemütlich im Holzstil gehalten. Wirkt sehr neu. Kostenloser Shuttleservice zur nächsten Onse bzw. zu dem Restaurant, welches nach 17:00 Uhr noch Dinner anbietet. Rechtzeitiges Buchen sichert den Pärchen noch das Zweibettzimmer hinterm Vorhang im Dormroom.... Das Premiumzimmer mit Tatamis bietet Platz für bis zu 6 Personen. Ist eigentlich für den Schuldirektor vorenthalten. SEHR EMPFEHLENSWERT !!!!
