The host was extra friendly. He took me and the other guest to watch Japanese fireflies and arranged a private sake and nigiri tasting for us. He truly made us feel like at home. The facilities are easy to find (exact on Google maps) and there's a large parking space. The place is a nice and clean hostel with normal sized beds (in my room) and a shared shower/bath. I would definitely recommend the place to anyone looking for a nice stay in Gunma mountains. I'll be back definitely, if I ever visit this part of Japan again.

Great place to stay with great host! We hired a car which was gave us a lot of freedom to explore the area in off season (not as many buses). However our host was most obliging in assisting in transport and activities for other guest staying at the time. A very beautiful part of the world, and highly recommend staying here!
the owners are awesome and encourage mixing with other guests

This hostel is located in a beautiful way, best to reach it by car, the rooms and everything is clean and welcoming. The owner and his family are especially nice and welcoming, they had a special dinner for everyone staying there, they seem to often have it, and they encouraged the Japanese to talk with us foreigners which ended up a funny and enjoyable evening. highly recommended.

Who would have thought a hostel could be sooo awesome. I spent 2 nights at Minakami raspberry youth hostel and our host was absolutely wonderful. This hostel had no communal kitchen, but who needed it with the AMAZING japanese food they served us! We were driven to a different onsen each night to relax and soak in the soothing hot baths ... i didn't want to leave there!
