Hotel Shoho is located on a hill in Matsumoto City, offering sweeping views of the majestic Northern Alps and the castle town of Matsumoto from every guest room. Utsukushigahara Onsen is a historic hot spring area that has been loved since the Edo period; it was once home to “Goten-no-Yu,” a villa built by the lord of Matsumoto Castle for relaxation. At our Hotel, you can enjoy five types of baths: an open-air bath, private baths, a large public bath, a jacuzzi, and a footbath. For guests who have traveled all the way to Utsukushigahara Onsen, we prepare our cuisine with care—creative Japanese kaiseki featuring seasonal Shinshu ingredients and special kaiseki using Shinshu’s signature branded ingredients. Matsumoto City and its surroundings are within easy reach, as are Kamikochi, Azumino, and the Utsukushigahara Highlands. Please visit Utsukushigahara Onsen—an ideal base for sightseeing.
