สถานีไซโจ (จังหวัดนากาโนะ) × โรงแรม·เรียวกังที่มีคะแนนความพึงพอใจสูง

I chose to stay here because I was drawn to the presence of this nationally registered Tangible Cultural Property. With its history as an Edo-period honjin and its dignified atmosphere, it felt like stepping into a beautiful, extraordinary world where time had stood still. What impressed me most was the French course meal made generously with local seasonal ingredients. Every dish was exquisite, bringing out the natural flavors of the ingredients, and because each course was carefully explained—along with the chef’s attention to detail and the story behind it—I was able to appreciate it even more deeply. The historic architectural beauty, refined cuisine, and warm hospitality came together in perfect harmony, making for an incomparable luxurious stay that truly satisfied both body and mind. I would love to return again in a different season.

It’s a small, quiet Onsen town with very little to walk around and see. The Ryokan is quite old and it’s hard to call it spotless, but it’s a great place to relax in a laid-back rural setting. Each dish is carefully prepared, beautifully presented, and truly delicious—wonderful meals overall. The bath water also has its own distinctive character; I liked it as an Onsen. In summer they keep it at a lukewarm temperature, so you can soak for a long time. The owner and staff were friendly and genuinely kind.

For me, trips are something you remember forever when something unexpected happens. This stay at Masuya Ryokan was just like that. There were several small stories woven between people. It was truly enjoyable, and I’d love to visit again.

At night, we could see a beautiful moon and stars from the open-air bath, and in the morning we enjoyed views of the Northern Alps mountain range—overall, we were able to fully enjoy the Onsen. With plenty of greenery around, it’s a place I’d like to visit during a long holiday. As for the Facility and breakfast, they felt average—neither particularly good nor bad.

We stayed here as a couple on our trip. The Room, meals, and the view from the Room were all wonderful. We left very satisfied. Thank you for your hospitality. We made great memories and would love to come back again.

With fewer guests, I was able to enjoy a relaxing soak in the lukewarm radium Onsen. Meals were served at the restaurant, likely due to the large number of day-trip group visitors. While some dishes, like the okra tempura, were a bit too hard, overall they were delicious. We chose a slightly small Japanese-style room for our stay; however, my elderly mother would have appreciated having a chair. Although there were moments where staff shortages seemed apparent, our requests were accommodated and we had an overall satisfying stay at this accommodation.

Thank you for your hospitality. The reception staff and the dining service staff were very kind and pleasant. We were informed that this year was a bountiful year for matsutake mushrooms, and they explained the selection of matsutake mushrooms for each dish. For dinner, we were served an astonishing amount of matsutake mushrooms in various dishes such as grilled, sukiyaki, dobin mushi, and mixed rice. We were very satisfied. We would like to visit again next year.
