Sinchon Station × Accommodation Near Interchange, Convenient For Car TravelHighly rated Hotel·Ryokan for Onsen and bath

Everything was excellent. The hostess’s hospitality was especially wonderful. The staff also kindly introduced us to local spots and were very helpful, so we were able to fully enjoy Nagano. The Onsen was very relaxing, and the meals were truly delicate, beautifully presented, and delicious throughout. There was no excessive service like at a luxury Ryokan, which made it very comfortable. We would love to stay again when we visit Matsumoto.

Both the entrance and our Room were spotless, the meals (and sweets) were delicious, the Onsen was wonderfully relaxing, and all of the staff were incredibly warm and welcoming—we were truly impressed. At the dining venue, there was plenty of space between each group, so our child was able to focus quietly on eating. Also, we really appreciated that you provided activities inside the Hotel such as a puzzle-solving game (the adults got seriously into it too!) and a cardboard maze. When we checked our answers for the puzzle game, the front desk staff assisted us so kindly and thoroughly, which made our child very happy. I don’t usually post a Review, but I was so moved that I wanted to share this one. We travel to Matsumoto every summer, so we’d love to stay with you again next year. Thank you very much.

Since it was the weekend, places around Matsumoto Station were expensive!! I searched for somewhere cheaper even if it was a bit farther away, and this place came up. It was my first time, so the front desk staff explained things to me, but they spoke a bit fast and there were parts I didn’t quite understand. I didn’t eat inside the building—I bought food outside and ate in my Room. There’s a supermarket within walking distance. If you go late, some items are half price, and bottled drinks were cheap too. The baths... there were so many different kinds. After coming down from a hike, I was able to relax and take my time. They also lend out shampoo and other toiletries. However... the lockers for guests are small. The Room has a bed and desk, a TV, and a toilet.

This was my second stay. The dinner at Ikaza, which I had on my first visit, was truly delicious, and about 80% of the reason for this stay was the food (it’s that good!). The retro furnishings and overall atmosphere of this long-established Matsumoto Hotel are also charming and full of character (some parts do feel old, but that’s part of its appeal). It’s also in a great location with easy access to Nawate Street, museums, and Matsumoto Castle, making it a very convenient Hotel. I’d love to come back again to refresh.

Conveniently located near the station, with plenty of options for dinner nearby, and parking close by as well. The bath was great, with two tubs at different temperatures. What I especially liked was the non-buffet breakfast—it felt like we were treated to delicious local specialties from Shinshu that we don’t often get to try. I’d love to stay again.

The complimentary tea and snacks, the large public bath, and the late-night snack service (the soba noodles were delicious) were all wonderful. The staff were cheerful and kind, and I would definitely like to stay here again when I visit Matsumoto. Breakfast was also very tasty!

Compact and well-organized, typical of Route Inn, ensuring a comfortable stay.

There were complimentary drinks and ochazuke, and I was happy to receive amenity items for women as well. The in-room bath and toilet were spacious, and there was also a large public bath, so I could relax. Breakfast was very delicious!

I stayed here after a touring trip. This Hotel has a calm, refined atmosphere. The location is convenient, and above all, the breakfast venue—formerly a bank—perfectly matches Matsumoto’s history and heritage.

We stayed here as a couple on a trip to Matsumoto. We made a Reservation at this Hotel because we were looking for a guest Room near Matsumoto Castle with an open-air bath and private dining. It was close to the castle, and we arrived without getting lost. Both the building and the Room were very well cleaned and felt spotless. The view from the Room was also great. We enjoyed our meal in a private room, and everything was delicious. We chose the dining Plan for guests aged 50 and over, and the portion size was just right. Since there aren’t many shops nearby, we bought drinks from the vending machine inside, but there was only one machine, so the selection was limited. Overall: 5 stars. I usually buy towels with the Hotel name when I stay somewhere, but I forgot this time—so when we visit Matsumoto again, we’ll be happy to stay here again.

The Accommodation has a wonderful atmosphere and offers satisfaction beyond its price. At the entrance, there was a vending machine selling rare flash-frozen soba you can enjoy as if freshly made, as well as Matsumoto Sanzoku-yaki. They kindly accompanied us to our Room on the second floor and even carried our luggage. When we left, although it was raining, they lent us an umbrella and saw us off. The interior has a special, out-of-the-ordinary feel, with calming lights placed throughout the hallways and other areas. The toilets and washbasins are shared, but they are clean. There is also a large public bath with separate hours for men and women, and if available, you can use the private bath at no extra charge. The water temperature is on the lukewarm side. Breakfast offered many kinds of small side dishes, a large-nameko mushroom miso soup, and curry that was light yet flavorful; we were told it uses Indian spices. Next time, I’d like to try dinner as well.

We stayed for 2 nights and 3 days in late August while sightseeing around Suwa, Matsumoto, Kamikochi, and Azumino. The Hotel still feels new and was very clean, and the in-room Facility was well equipped with nothing lacking. The bathroom in particular had a large bathtub, making it spacious and comfortable even just for taking a shower. We had breakfast, and while the selection wasn’t huge, each item was delicious. We especially enjoyed the creative touches such as smoothies made with Nagano-grown fruit and freshly baked waffles. The staff were also extremely courteous. We accidentally soiled some linens due to our own carelessness, but when we mentioned it at checkout, they kindly accepted it without any additional charges. As for amenities, there were no toner or lotion provided, but I think it’s not an issue if you bring your usual ones. Room cleaning is once every three days, but towels are replaced daily. However, it was a bit disappointing that the bath mat wasn’t replaced. Also, the system of leaving trash bins and used towels outside the door as-is was a little hard to understand at first. There are many supermarkets around the Hotel area where we could buy local prepared foods and souvenirs at reasonable prices. There was also a nearby ultra-discount supermarket called Lamu that I’d been wanting to visit personally, so I was glad I could go. By car, Matsumoto city center and Suwa are about 30 minutes away, and Kamikochi and Azumino can be reached in about an hour—very convenient. The pricing felt fair overall, and we were able to use a hometown tax donation coupon as well, which made it an excellent value. We had a very comfortable stay and would love to use this Accommodation again if we have another opportunity.

Having lived in Matsumoto for several years, I always choose this Hotel, which is well known locally as the city’s top luxury hotel. Because it is often used for parties by local business and political circles, the clientele is pleasant and the service is consistently high quality. I stayed during the Seiji Ozawa Matsumoto Festival, so many people from the music world were also noticeable. The Facility and Room are not brand-new, but they are clean and well maintained. I also always look forward to using the Shuttle Service to enjoy the Onsen at Hotel Shoho (a sister property). The executive lounge is comfortable as well, offering cake in the afternoon and sake, wine, and snacks after 5:30 p.m. Considering this level of quality, the price is reasonable, so I highly recommend it for its great value.

On my first trip to Matsumoto, I was grateful to be welcomed with a smile. They also stored my luggage for me in the early afternoon. The Room and bath were well cleaned and comfortable. The shampoo, hand soap, etc. were POLA products. The TV was fairly large for the Room, and I enjoyed watching the Hanshin vs Yakult game. However, once I turned off the TV and it got quiet, I could clearly hear the neighboring guest’s voice—perhaps the walls are thin. That was a bit disappointing, but I was tired and fell asleep quickly, so it wasn’t a problem for me.

I stayed here for business, and the location was extremely convenient—close to the station with many restaurants nearby. The room was neat and clean, making my stay very comfortable. The front desk staff were very kind and left a great impression. If I visit Matsumoto again, I would definitely like to stay here. Thank you very much.

It was conveniently located near the station, making it an excellent choice for traveling with my elderly mother. The property was clean, and thanks to the good windows, we were not bothered by outside noise. We also enjoyed the view from our Room. It was a great base for sightseeing in Matsumoto in midsummer. We also enjoyed the breakfast buffet, especially the Chinese dishes.

We gathered from various places to celebrate our elderly parent's birthday and stayed for one night. First, we relaxed together in the private bath while watching the clouds drift by. The specially prepared sparkling water was a delightful touch. The Onsen made us quite hungry, so we chose a small portion gourmet plan considering my mother, but it left us all fully satisfied. We were touched by the thoughtful celebration gesture from the accommodation, and the mulberry jam we purchased at the shop on our way home was delicious as well. During our stay, whether it was walking freely on the spacious tatami or feeling the warmth of the staff, there was always a cozy and pleasant atmosphere. Thank you very much!

I made a last-minute same-day Reservation and stayed here. Thank you for welcoming me. My luggage was heavy, so being able to park right in front was a big help. The Room’s bathroom and toilet were clean, and the Room size was just right. I also appreciated the bath chair, which is often not provided. However, it seemed there was no hair dryer in the Room, and that was the only inconvenience; everything else was great. Since it was a same-day Reservation, the view from the Room was disappointing, but I was able to relax and enjoy my stay. Thank you very much.

We arrived around 5:30 pm, and everyone was hungry, so we asked if dinner could be served from 6:30 pm, and they kindly accommodated our request. First, the bath. The facilities were very clean, including the changing area. Dinner had many dishes and was delicious. A young man was in charge of our table; although he seemed a bit inexperienced at times, we appreciated his sincere, hardworking attitude. The next morning, we all enjoyed another bath and then had a delicious breakfast with a wide variety of dishes. We used the local bus both ways. On the way there, we took a bus that arrived about five minutes late due to rain from the nearby bus stop, but when it passed in front of the inn, the staff waved to us—everyone was truly touched. It was a warm and welcoming place to stay. Thank you very much.

We stayed as a parent and child for my son’s university entrance exams. ■ Warm hospitality for exam takers At check-in, the staff asked, “Are you here for exams?” and gave us a small gift. My son, who was feeling nervous, seemed relieved by the thoughtful gesture, and I’m truly grateful as a parent. ■ Excellent amenities and a comfortable Room The amenity bar was well stocked—my son especially liked the bath salts and was able to relax. I also tried a face mask for the first time in my life! Even as an older guy (haha), it felt very refreshing after a bath. We were assigned a corner connecting Room, which allowed us to maintain privacy while still being close enough—making our stay extremely comfortable. ■ Great location It’s close to the station, with plenty of restaurants nearby, so we had no trouble at all even with a Plan without dinner. ■ A small suggestion for the future Winter in Matsumoto was drier than expected, so having hand cream among the amenities would make it even better! Thanks to the kindness of all the staff, my son was able to take his exam in great condition. We would definitely like to stay again when we visit Matsumoto. Thank you very much!
