Pretty ryokan in Matsumoto with welcoming staff

Staff were very welcoming and attentive Delicious kaiseki set menu dinner and buffet style breakfast They offered complimentary shuttle into town and pick up again at end of day, which was very helpful as the accommodation is about 5mins drive out of centre of town

The most authentic Japanese experience

It was the best accomodation we had in our 3 weeks in Japan. The apartment we chose was big and very comfortable, also very warm for a Ryokan. We loved the traditional clothes they gave us. The hosts were amazing with us the whole time as we dropped our bags before the check in time. Also we got a transfer to the train station when we checked out, very helpful. The food experience on dinner time was next level.We had exquisite food, vet diverse and delicious. The breakfast was a bit more simple but still very good. We would 100% recommend this place to our friends.

The Japanese hospitality and service level really warmed our stay.

It’s a modest family run accommodation but thought is given to every single detail. Every single staff including the owner is hands on and very personable. During dinner, the owner (who picked us up from the train station) introduced himself as 3rd generation , that his father, wife and brother were also involved in the kitchen and service. When the reception found out that we had to leave very early (7.20am) to catch our train, they offered to book a taxi for us (hotel shuttle starts at 9am). However the taxi company was not available . In the end, the owner himself sent us to the station.

The owners and staff put in a 100%. I turned up drenched and they took care of all my wet items and

All the food was exelant, staff attention to guest very good, amenities perfect and the amount where good as the place was always full and no waiting. For someone who likes to walk it was close to station and the town centre 45min and even closer to second station. 5 min walk to a burial tomb mound and short taxi ride to archaeological museum. So can walk to most attractions and als 7eleven and laundry mate. Also good fish and tackle place around the corner.

Very nice traditional Ryokan, with both private and common hot springs. They offer a transfer service from the Matsumoto station. We loved the kaiseki dinner and the possibility to wear traditional clothes. The rooms are spacious and clean, in japanese tatami style.

Exceptional stay in Matsumoto, highly recommended

This is by far the best place we have stayed in Japan. The traditional accomodation hospitality, people and food are exceptional. It’s a little out of city nestled in the hills but worth it, particularly if you have a car and would like a base for exploring around Matsumoto. Did I mention the food? It is by far the best Japanese cuisine we have experienced. The set menu is delicate and adventurous. Breakfast is mainly excellent Japanese with huge variety but they have bread and eggs also. Onsens are fabulous. Staff are so accommodating and speak some English to help us who have little Japanese. I hope we’ll be back in the future.

Typical Ryokan in Matsumoto

Amazing Ryokan, with baths available almost 24hrs a day. I had the dinner as well and the breakfast. Both rich and delicious. Staff were very helpful and was easy to communicate. Definitely recommended

Welcoming and comfortable ryokan with great food

This ryokan was clean, comfortable and welcoming. We chose the half board and the dinners were a standout. A wide variety of traditional dishes with exceptional quality. Breakfasts also delicious. Lots of kind touches made us feel welcome and comfortable.

A typical Ryokan with a nice staff. A bit oldish though and expensive for the facilities but clean.We booked a big room for 5 and ended up at sleeping all in the same one and we had another one ( not connected) on top (that we barely used). At the end we should have booked only one room and in that case, the cost would have been better for the quality.

Great experience

It was great Japanese hospitality from the moment that I got picked up at the train station from the ryokan owner. The ryokan had a really traditional feel to it and I was well looked after by the staff.
