“The onsens were dated and not well maintained, and the ground floor indoor bath was quite dark and I was almost tripped off at the stair. The entire hotel was very spacious and most areas were clean and nice. But somehow everything felt a bit lacking something compared to most of its peer hotels like the garden maintenance or the staff friendliness/enthusiasm. ”
“That was the best accomodation of the whole trip. This classic authentic Japanese inn is so ready to welcome and serve foreigners. Not only their way of serving, the knowledge they brought to their customers are huge and deep. It helps a lot with the customers to understand the etiquette and ritual of staying in Japanese classic inn.
For those enthusiasts of Japanese culture, I highly recommend this accommodation. It will bring you some unforgettable experiences. After the stay you will……
“Amazing host, wonderful modern and traditional rooms. Very clean and comfortable. A top tier experience and very western visitor friendly. The food on site is made with care and delicious.”
“Great option for your Nakasendo trail experience. Beautiful town. Be sure to walk around the temples and find the weeping cherry blossom (I think this was the name).”
"The hotel locates next to the JR Matsumoto station (3-4 minutes walking distance). It is convenient. I appreciate the public bath in the hotel which is clean and relaxing."
"Far exceeded our expectations: it is the price of a regular hotel, but you have the hospitality of an onsen ryokan:
1. It has an outdoor onsen at the top floor. There’re people sharing with you, but it’s big enough for you to relax. It has sauna by the way.
2. After onsen, the free ice bars, the comics will definitely entertain you. The same location offers free yakult drink in the morning.
3. After 9pm, there is free ramen. Yes, free. And the taste is good!
4. Room is like new and clean. Service is good. I need extra blankets and pillows and they come in no time.
Parking is like 1100 yen per night nearby."
