Matsumotoro Western-style Inn Pinon

This Hotel has the atmosphere of a small auberge.Once again, I was comforted by the warm hospitality of the staff. Many of them spoke to us in a friendly way, and we naturally ended up chatting, which made for a very pleasant stay.The private bath was easy to use, and we were able to relax and fully enjoy Ikaho’s Onsen.For dinner, we chose the premium course. It was French cuisine that you can enjoy without formality, yet you could really feel the care taken with the ingredients—every dish was delicious. The foie gras and Joshu beef were especially memorable.With this level of service, dining, and Onsen, I felt the Accommodation Fee was not just reasonable but exceptionally good value. It’s easy to see why so many guests return—this is truly a wonderful Accommodation.Also recently, a community bus stop called “Chirorin-zaka” has been added right in front of the Accommodation, and Suica can be used as well. The buses don’t run very frequently, but it’s extremely convenient when heading to the stone steps area or toward the bus terminal, which made our stay even more enjoyable.Since the weather was nice this time, we took a Hiace-style community bus from here and went as far as the Ikaho Ropeway. The view from the summit was fantastic—highly recommended.This Accommodation offers all three: warm hospitality, delicious food, and high-quality Onsen. When I visit Ikaho again, I would definitely love to return.

The food was simply outstanding, and I would love to stay here again the next time I visit Ikaho. For breakfast, I chose the main building buffet; it offered a wide variety of options and everything was delicious. Also, I had the course dinner, and both the tableware and the dishes were wonderful, making for a very enjoyable evening. If I have the chance to stay again, I would definitely like to try a different course as well. Thank you very much!
