Lovely space and easy access to Goryu. The family who runs the hostel is incredibly sweet, friendly, and helpful with so many questions and recommendations for Japan. The hostel is open and airy while still being cozy and feels like you're staying in a large house which was kept immaculately clean. Loved this place!

Perfect mountain retreat

Friendly family run property with a mix of shared and private rooms and shared bathrooms and kitchen. Perfectly located for some of the ski runs or summer hiking trails. Simple but comfortable, extremely clean and tidy. Toshi and his team could not have been more Charming or helpful. Highly recommended.

Toshi and Megumi, who run the hostel, both speak English very well and they were extremely helpful with all kinds of useful information about nearby restaurants, directions, bus schedules, and providing for discounts on lift tickets and ski rentals. They helped make our stay a success! A small private room and bathroom in the hostel had everything we needed to be comfortable. Conveniently located to the Goryu 47 ski resort. My son and I enjoyed our skiing at both Goryu 47 and the Happo One ski resorts.

Would definitely come back!

Ks house is in a great location, only 10 minute walk from the closest train station and also a ten minute walk to the base of Goryu Mountain.

They have discounts for gear hire and the ski lift passes. Snacks, toothbrushes and razors are available to buy for 150 yen and the laundry is 300 yen to use for washing machine, dryer and detergent.

Toshi and Meg went above and beyond with exceptional service. It feels so welcoming and they even provided a shuttle to the grocery store and a lift to the station upon the end of our trip.

The bathroom and kitchen areas are very clean and can accommodate for everything you need. The beds are comfortable with sufficient bedding.

There is lots of room to store your ski and snowboard gear.

Overall we had such a comfortable stay and felt very at home. We hope to be back one day soon. Thankyou Toshi and Meg!

Fantastic stay.

Fantastic place to stay with very kind and helpful owners. Spotlessly clean,great kitchen and a spacious room. JR Train station is only 10 minutes walk. Great location for hiking,rafting and onsen. There is a convenience store in kamishiro or a larger supermarket in Hakuba. Toshi was very kind to give us a lift into Hakuba and then we caught the train back to kamishiro. We would love to come back in the winter too.

Amazing place highly recommended

The best backpacker I've ever been to. Nice hosts who went out of their way to recommend activities. Gave us rides to town and train station on several occasions and let us use bicycles for free to get around. Extremely clean room. Well kitted out kitchen and lounge area. Stayed in a twin room that had own ensuite. Air conditioning, tv and amenities were provided. I would recommend this place to any person traveling to the Hakuba area.

I felt that this place had a fantastic social atmosphere and was perfect for my one night stay. The rooms were very clean, and there was plenty of storage space available to dry damp snow gear. The owner was also very friendly and had great local knowledge to assist with planning things to do around the wider area.
There was a well equipped kitchen so cooking your own food was easy enough.
The location was great as it was less than 10mins walk to the station, however the nearest convenience store was a little walk away from the hostel. I would have no worries staying here again.

Helpful Staff, Great location for Goyru Skiing

Very easy to drive to. Free parking close by. Helpful staff that speak English. Close by to restaurants and bars that are walkable. K's House was great, but unfortunately on this trip we were in a room next to a family that had a screaming baby day and night. There was also a dog that would consistently cry for hours at night. Thinking it was a backpackers hostel, I was surprised at the range of guests (I was here with my boyfriend).

It's a great location if interested in skiing at Goyru. If your goal is to ski at Happo One, I would stay in the Happo Village or closer to there. There are very few buses that connect Goyru and Happo. The last bus leaves at 8am and the bus returning not until 5:30pm. There's one before 5:30pm, but you'd have to exit the slopes around 3pm to catch a connecting bus down to the main station.

Country retreat

This is a great place to stay for skiing or walking holidays. Its right in the Alps and the house has everything you need for a comfortable stay. You make your own meals in the kitchen and tea and coffee are always on hand. We had a self contained double room which was like being in a hotel rather than a hostel. The hosts speak perfect English and pick you up from the station or bus stop and take you back again. The only downside is that the village is rather isolated with only a few shops and restaurants. So if you are staying for a while it would be best to bring a lot of food with you.
