cozy and cute Japanese old house

Are you tired with hot and humid in Tokyo? If so, you'd better take Shinkansen to Karuizawa. Koya Backpackers is the best choice for budget travelers. It is located close to Hoshino resort, around 10 minutes' walk from Tombo no Yu bus stop. The owner is a mountain guide, and you can ask him how to enjoy trekking in Karuizawa area. You can walk trails to Shiraito waterfall, weather permitting.
This guest house is old Japanese style, tiny but clean rooms make you relax and 　 bring a time to think about old Japanese lifestyle. Shared shower, toilet, kitchen, fridge and washing machine are available. While I stayed, the owner and guests were very friendly, and I enjoyed chatting with them. I will come back again.

Amazing place and great host!

We had an amazing stay at Koya Backpackers! The location is convenient, not far from Naka-Karuizawa station and had a lot of facilities around (restaurants, onsen, konbini, church). The atmosphere is very friendly and the host is really nice and helpful. We met other travelers and we could share some time with them in the "salon", it was very nice. The room was also convenient and the surroundings are really beautiful.

"Chana Masala" Curry is awesome!!!

You can enjoy an old classical Japanese style house. It was very old but very clean and safety for women, the owner "Kin-chan" he is so kind and nice character. Especially the Curry"Chana Masala" was awesome!! I ate this curry in the local fresh lettuces witch I bought the local market near there. If you enjoy it with Japanese Sake, you can not stop it!! You can enjoy an beautiful "Hoshino-Onsen" hot spring near there. Please enjoy your happy trip.Thank you Kin-chan!!
建物は古いのにとても清潔で、かつオーナーがとても親切でいい方だったので、とても快適でした。
豆のドライカレー「チャナマサラカレー」が絶品でした。
地元の市場でレタスを購入し、カレーを包んで日本酒のつまみにしたら、とまりませんでした。。。

clean and quiet. Use google maps to find it

Apparently you can only use google maps to find this place but google maps to find this place.
any other navigation will take u somewhere else.
I had a pleasant stay here, the shower had shampoo, conditioner and body soap and hair dryer which i did not expect in a backpacker hostel, there is only one shower luckily it was not too busy so i didn't have to wait for the shower.
There is a curfew at 11pm but apparently the whole city closes down after 10pm so its ok. makes it quiet to sleep at night.
the room was clean, futons were warm. its Japanese style so you will sleep in futons not beds and you have to make them in the morning.
