房間很乾凈，房東非常好，晚上還有篝火可以圍坐在一起和天南海北的人聊天，基本是輕井澤最便宜的旅館了。

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.
