High Quality Hostel AIBIYA, 山ノ内

Good service as they helped to call the staff for our next hotel which they spoke in Japanese to fetch us from the hostel to the next hotel we were checking in to. Room was bare with 2 beds and hangers limited. Reckon this should be expected since it’s a hostel. Assigned room was noisy as it was directly above the entrance of the hotel. Woken up by pretty loud conversations in the morning. Hotel staff speaks English.

Had such a great stay at Aibiya hostel. Was warmly welcomed by Seongmi, one of the owners of the hostel.I have stayed in many hostels in Japan and this is the best. It is built in Japanese style and really comfortable. I also met Yoshi the other owner and had many talks with both of them and they gave great recommendations. They also include a self-service breakfast in the morning which was great. If you are coming for skiiing or to visit the snow monkeys I would definitely recommend this hostel.

We absolutely loved our stay from the first minute we walked through the door to the warm welcome. Yoshi and Seong me were so attentive and fixed us with Jason and Gus to go skiing and we had the most amazing time . The skiing is unbelievable and we had the time of our lives!! Seong me makes beautiful jewelry and I couldn't resist making a purchase. We will defo be back, and highly recommend you stay here.
