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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

The complimentary drinks (including plenty of alcohol) and breakfast were excellent. With those Facilities and that level of service at such a low price, it was outstanding. If I had to mention one thing, the washing area in the Onsen is small, so it would be appreciated if women’s hours could be longer.

It’s definitely not the newest Hotel, but it was well cleaned and comfortable. Personally, I appreciated that even though it’s a unit bath, there was plenty of space around the toilet and enough room to move comfortably to the bathtub. The location near Matsumoto Station was very convenient, and I was satisfied with the price range, so I’d like to stay again. There are only two evening bus services to the Onsen, but if you want to go out for drinks in Matsumoto at night you can’t use them at all, so I would have been happy if there were also one early-morning service.

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 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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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 stayed here on a business trip to Matsumoto. The free parking was very helpful since I was driving. The front desk staff were excellent as well. The dormitory room was spacious enough and comfortable. The showers and wash area were clean, and I was satisfied. I checked out early in the morning, but being able to use the free breakfast really helped. I would like to stay here again if I have the chance.

The Room was spacious, and I could use the Onsen anytime, so I was able to relax.
