Sinchon Station × Recommended Accommodation for a Healing Solo TripHighly rated Hotel·Ryokan - 2Page Number

My husband and I visited Nagano on short notice. There were no reasonably priced twin Rooms at Hotels in Matsumoto, so we made a Reservation for two single Rooms. We were grateful just to be able to book, so we didn’t make any special requests, but you prepared adjacent Rooms for us. I truly appreciate your thoughtful consideration. Thank you very much!

I stayed here the night before a last-minute hiking trip. There’s a convenience store very close by, which was really helpful. Thank you.

When visiting Utsukushigahara and Matsumoto Castle for the first time, we chose Miyamaso mainly because it had the best room rate. Since it was so reasonably priced, we were a little worried at first... But after staying there, it was great!! The meals were especially good. There was more than enough food, and everything was delicious!! Next year we’d like to visit Kamikochi, and we’re hoping to stay here again.

A clean Hotel near Matsumoto Castle. At night, you can enjoy a free beef bowl, and the breakfast was also very delicious, with curry and Nozawana rice among the options. There is also a nice bath on the first floor. I saw comments saying there aren’t many restaurants nearby, but if you walk a little toward the station, there are plenty of places to eat, so it wasn’t inconvenient. If I had to mention one downside, it would be the parking fee of 1,000 yen. When I took a morning walk to Matsumoto Castle, I noticed that nearby coin-operated parking lots are a bit cheaper. Even so, it’s an affordable and great Hotel. I will stay again.

My friend from Chiba came to visit, so we stayed here! It was a perfect location for trekking at Utsukushigahara Highlands on the first day and visiting sightseeing spots around Azumino City on the second day. We booked a dormitory room plan with dinner and breakfast included, and both meals were clearly prepared with great care and were absolutely delicious. There was also a large public bath, and the room was spacious and spotless—perfectly comfortable for the three of us. Thank you very much for your hospitality!

With many accommodations raising their prices, I was happy to find this rate with two meals included. I arrived with no expectations at all. I already knew from reviews that the parking lot was a bit far away, and indeed it was hard to find. My husband said that if we had arrived after dark, we probably would have struggled even more. I was surprised by the bottled wine offered with the all-you-can-drink alcohol at dinner—two large bottles of red and white were lined up and chilled. The beer was also nicely cold (and the mugs were ice-cold too), which was excellent. We enjoyed three kinds of soba—Sarashina, Shinshu, and thick black soba—as touji soba (if I’m remembering correctly), and it was delicious. What surprised me most was how crisp the blanched komatsuna greens were—they were cooked very well. Some places serve steak in the morning or bring out a huge platter of sashimi, but I think what really matters is the people. The dining staff were always attentive, moved efficiently, cleared tables while assisting guests when needed, and worked in a very pleasant way. The rooms are old, which can’t really be helped, but I’d like to come back again for the food.

The room was clean and well maintained, and the location—practically right in front of the station—was very convenient. Breakfast was delicious, with curry available as well, and there was plenty to eat. Our group of five friends booked separate rooms, and since there was no designated smoking area inside the hotel for smokers, they kindly changed our rooms to smoking rooms, which was very helpful.

Everyone at the Ryokan was very courteous, which was wonderful. As it was in season, I really enjoyed tasting plenty of matsutake mushrooms and other varieties. Dinner was a bit early, but it made the evening feel longer, which I liked. It also happened to coincide with the once-a-year festival, so I felt lucky. The hinoki cypress bath in the Room was also great. We stayed in the Pine Room, and for two people it felt very spacious. I had seen Reviews about shower issues, but on the first day hot water came after running it for about five minutes, and on the second day it worked smoothly right away. Water pressure was not a problem. There are a few stairs up to the Pine Room, so if you’re not comfortable with stairs, I think choosing a lower-floor Room would be better. I didn’t make it to the bar at night, but I caught a glimpse of it and it had an amazing atmosphere. It may be cold when moving around in winter, but I think that adds to its charm. I’d love to stay here again when I visit Matsumoto City. Thank you!

We stayed here as a couple in our early 50s. The Accommodation was spotless down to every corner, and we had a very comfortable stay. [Room & Bath] The Room with an open-air bath had truly breathtaking views, and we enjoyed the bath three times—after arrival, before bed, and again the next morning. The water temperature was a little on the lukewarm side, so it sometimes felt slightly chilly if we stayed in for a long time, but it was still very relaxing. We also appreciated the spacious wash area with a large mirror, which made getting ready in the morning very easy. [Dining] For dinner, we had the “HAKKO Yaki-Shabu Course.” The main yaki-shabu was exquisite—the meat practically melted in our mouths! The shiitake mushrooms and fried potatoes were also delicious, with carefully crafted flavors you wouldn’t normally get at home. We were fully satisfied all the way through to the ochazuke to finish and dessert. For breakfast, we enjoyed the “Onigiri Bento” while taking in the wonderful view. The portion size was slightly modest, but it was just right for us as a couple. The piping hot roasted green tea was rich and very tasty. We were also delighted by thoughtful touches such as complimentary mineral water—this is a wonderful Accommodation where we would definitely like to stay again. Thank you very much.

I stayed here to visit Matsumoto Castle the next morning. It was closer than I expected, and it was very convenient that I could keep my car parked there even after checkout. The breakfast bread was also delicious.

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.

I’ve stayed here several times, but since it was Silver Week, I was assigned to the farther parking lot for the first time. It may be a little hard to find, but they do secure parking spaces, which was reassuring. The staff were very courteous, and the Room was spacious and clean, so I felt comfortable staying here. I’d definitely like to stay again. Thank you very much.

The Room is clean, and the amenities are well stocked. The breakfast curry was very delicious. Convenience stores and restaurants are also just a 2–3 minute walk away, so there’s no problem.

Room: I’d appreciate a mirror at a comfortable height, or a tabletop mirror. Bath: The large hinoki-wood bath was very relaxing. Meals: The selection is minimal, but the breakfast offerings were exactly what I wanted and I was very satisfied. For the DIY fried egg station on the hot plate, it would be helpful to display an estimated cooking time—some guests were going back and forth repeatedly to check doneness. Amenities: Extra items are available at the front desk for you to take in a basket. They also had facial lotion, which was great. Location: Great. Other: There’s a wide variety of manga, and I was happy to reread Slam Dunk for the first time in a while. The building is older and doesn’t have that brand-new feel, but it’s a satisfying Hotel that gets all the important points right. I’d like to stay again. Thank you very much.

Weekdays only: Early-morning curry from 6:00 to 6:30 It was very delicious. I’d love to have another serving.

The Asama Onsen district spreads across the eastern part of Matsumoto City, climbing up the foothill slope. The Accommodation is built on the hillside, and the road in front of the entrance is only one lane wide. After leaving your luggage at the Accommodation, you move to the parking area via a narrow alley-like passage about 2 meters wide. If you have a larger car, it seems better to enter from another wider road, park there first, and then carry your luggage. This is an old Accommodation; the furniture and fittings are also old but of good quality, carefully maintained, and immaculately cleaned. The hospitality feels heartfelt; while some younger staff may seem a little awkward, they are poised and dignified. You can sense the refined quality of a prestigious Accommodation. The Room—created by combining two rooms into one—has well-chosen furniture and furnishings. It is calming and comfortable. In the in-room bath, hot natural spring water flows directly from the source; unless you truly love very hot baths, you will want to add cold water to adjust it. For smaller guests, it is deep enough to soak up to your shoulders and long enough to stretch out your legs. Opening the large window facing the garden lets in wonderfully refreshing air. The large public bath and private bath are spacious with a comfortable temperature. The lockers are solid as well. A table adapted from a lacquered low dining table is paired with chairs that are easy to sit on. The dishes brought to your Room one after another at just the right timing are genuine gourmet cuisine—anticipation and satisfaction continue throughout. Allergy accommodations and requests regarding disliked ingredients were handled perfectly. Interestingly—and elegantly—the menu does not list the head chef’s name. There is a separate bedroom with very comfortable beds. It is quiet.

It was very relaxing. Our dog also quickly stretched out and made itself comfortable. However, when I asked about parking, I was told to park in any available space in the shop’s parking lot, so I did. But since it was a Multiple Night Stay, when we went out during the day and came back, customers had parked there and we had to wait for a space to open up. It wasn’t clear whether there is dedicated parking for guests or not.

We used it as a touring base for the Venus Line. It is a homely Ryokan. Both meals were served in the Room, allowing us to enjoy them without worrying about others. We were able to savor delicious homemade dishes, including Shinshu beef. The bath was not large, but it was clean and comfortable. The cost performance is excellent. It is a Ryokan that makes you want to use it again next time.

I was able to rest well on the fluffy futon, just as described in the Review. I expected a 4.5-tatami Room, but they provided a 6.5-tatami Room instead. It was great to have free drinks, and the bath was available from night through morning. The Facility was clean and uncluttered, which made me feel at ease.

Even with self check-in, the process was smooth, and it was great that everything from the entrance to the room was clean. I was slightly concerned that the futon sheets came off easily and that the pillows were quite firm.
