Sinchon Station × Smoke-Free AccommodationHighly rated Hotel·Ryokan

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.

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.

We chose this hotel because (1) three of us could stay in one room and (2) it has a large public bath. After making our Reservation, we read the Reviews and added breakfast. There were so many dishes that it was almost overwhelming—in a good way. The large public bath was also great, except that it was crowded and we had to wait for a washing station. It was nice to have plenty of outlets, but there were mirrors only in the bathroom and by the entrance. If possible, I would have liked a tabletop stand mirror on the desk. That said, we were very satisfied overall, so I rated it 5 out of 5.

As always, the meals were delicious, and the Onsen was gentle on the body with a perfect temperature. It was also my first time dining in a second-floor private dining Room, and the open atrium made it easy to appreciate the main building’s traditional architecture. However, this time the meal service was a bit disappointing: tea didn’t come unless we asked for it, and the explanations of the dishes were hard to follow. I understand they may still be inexperienced, but for an Accommodation that values its cuisine, I hope more care will be taken in how guests are attended to during meals. That said, it’s still an Accommodation I would definitely like to visit again.

Arrived tired... The natural Onsen bath was wonderful! The staff's courteous service was very helpful. I also enjoyed the soba noodles for breakfast.

Stayed here to explore Kamikochi. I left at 5:30 a.m. for the Matsumoto Bus Terminal; although it was before dawn, I was able to get there safely in a 5-minute walk. Matsumoto Station, soba restaurant-hopping, museums, Matsumoto Castle, Ishii Miso soft-serve ice cream, izakayas, and breakfast at Matsuya are all within walking distance and easy to enjoy. I had the free late-night Kamikochi ramen on both nights. It was delicious—I even finished the soup. Very comfortable stay. I’d like to stay again.

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!

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.

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.

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.

With the Early Bird 60 discount, we were able to stay at a very reasonable price. One of the hair dryers in the large public bath changing area was broken, so we had to wait for one to become available. The Room and the entire Facility are old, but well maintained and clean. The meals included all-you-can-drink, so we could drink without hesitation, and the food was fairly tasty for the price. However, it was disappointing that the next day’s tennis tournament social gathering had exactly the same dishes. It’s not really suitable for a Multiple Night Stay.

I stayed here the night before my trip to Kamikochi. I arrived a little early, but the staff kindly accommodated me and let me into my Room ahead of time. 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 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.

It was a charming Accommodation full of character. From the moment we stepped inside, it had a comforting atmosphere. The staff responded to our questions thoroughly, so we were able to spend the night feeling at ease. Breakfast was plentiful, but delicious, and we finished it all.

The large public bath was clean and very nice.\nWe enjoyed the well-equipped recreational area on the first floor, including table tennis.\nWe were satisfied with the service.

We stayed here with a large group in January. First of all, the traditional kura-style building is truly one of a kind. It has been beautifully renovated to suit modern needs while preserving the charm of classic Japanese architecture. It’s even more impressive in person than in photos, and you can really enjoy the building itself—perfect for anyone who loves architecture. The living room feels incredibly open, and even with a big group it never felt cramped. The kitchen was surprisingly spacious, and it was stocked with more than enough cookware and appliances. There was also a great variety of tableware, all stylish, which made cooking even more enjoyable. The dishwasher in particular was large and high-performance, making cleanup easy even for a big group. There are multiple bedrooms as well, so everyone can rest comfortably. This Accommodation is ideal for the purpose of “staying together as a large group and relaxing.” Overall it’s very spacious, so we could spend time there without feeling self-conscious. We only ordered breakfast, but it was simple Japanese food and very delicious. For lunch and dinner we arranged our own meals—buying ingredients at nearby supermarkets (Tsuruya and AEON are conveniently close) and cooking ourselves—and that became part of the fun of the stay. With such well-equipped facilities, this place is especially recommended for those who enjoy cooking. Even though it was cold around New Year’s, the inside was warm and comfortable. The separate hinoki bathhouse was amazing; you heat the indoor bath yourself, but the scent of hinoki wood and the atmosphere were truly relaxing. There is also another bath in the main house (with a modern tub), which you can use as well—and we appreciated the thoughtful touch of underfloor heating in the changing area there. We were highly satisfied with everything—the space, facilities, and overall atmosphere—and would love to visit again in a different season.

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.

I found this Facility as a pet-friendly option in the Suwa–Matsumoto area that seemed easy to use and reasonably priced. As you make your way through a maze-like residential neighborhood, the space suddenly opens up and you’ll find the Facility there. The Room is small but unique and comfortable, truly living up to its name as a “secret base you can stay in.” The Room is kept very clean, with amenities and supplies well provided. Despite its size, it’s arranged so you can move efficiently and relax with ease. It was a great example of how to make the most of a compact Room.

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.
