“Thank you to the beautiful staff on incredible stay at your ryokan, I’ll definitely be back.”
The food is exceptional…best kaiseki dinner experience I’ve had. The rooms are clean and the facilities are beautiful, especially the outdoor onsens and footbath on the veranda near the wine bar was a real treat. The staff are amazing and even have a little evening snack waiting in the room while the beds are being made during the dinner service.

Amazing experience. The staff is amazing, the food very good, and the (private) onsen an absolute treat. What a way to relax between cities.

We loved staying in this Ryokan and it was indeed the highlight of our trip in Japan for both myself and my wife. The meals for breakfast and dinner were extravagant and delicious, although a few of the courses were too different and foreign for even my tastes! The service was exceptional, and we loved having the paying option of reserving the private onsen next door for the two of us. We actually never used the shared gendered onsens on the first floor. There are views of the mountains and they even bring late night treats in case you get hungry to your rooms! The futons and typical rooms were very nice and comfortable, and everything was beautiful! We greatly recommend it.

This Onsen Ryokan was a blissful relief after a few days in Tokyo. The room was enormous with an entry hallway, huge sleeping/living room and separate huge bathroom. The room had a big window and view, a kettle, fridge, tv, Pjs and all amenities, and the most comfortable futon bedding and doona. I got the all inclusive package and the dinner and breakfast was amazing and a highlight of my whole trip to Japan. There were multiple courses all presented in the most incredible way. The female onsen had 3 different baths including an outside one. I had it all to myself which was a luxury. There is also a little deck and Japanese garden where you can soak your tired feet in the hot mineral onsen water. It was easy to get to from the train station. I took the bus from the bus station opposite and paid cash to the bus driver as I exited the bus. When I left I took the bus to the Castle, left my luggage in the lockers, did a free guided tour of the castle and then walked a short way back to the station. Matsumoto is a lovely city to visit and I'm so glad I stayed at this Ryokan.
