Tabi Tsugumi guest house is a great place to stay while in the area. It is two stories and has both hostel bunk rooms plus private rooms as well. The guest house also has a fully furnished kitchen plus a Japanese style tatami area in which to relax. There are great views of Mt. Yotei from the kitchen and the lounge area. Tabi Tsugumi is run by the super friendly Japanese owner. He does speak English and is happy to help with anything you need. If coming via your own transport, there is parking available here. For those coming via train, the guest house is close by. 

The dorm rooms are large and comfortable. There is a female only dorm room available as well. These rooms fit up to four guests. The bunks here are really big and it is a bit of a climb up the ladder to get to the top bunk, but once there you can find a very comfortable sleeping area, private locker, fan, and wall plugs and hangers. Although the room is shared you have plenty of space to yourself compared to other guesthouses. For those who want more privacy, there are private rooms for extra cost. Be sure to book in advance especially in winter as the guesthouse is near all the major ski fields in the local area. this a great option to stay and very affordable and clean!
