Hotel Matsumoto Yorozuya

I’ve stayed at about 80% of the Hotels in Matsumoto, and this one felt like a top-tier, truly great find. Major chains are reassuring because they’re standardized, but this Hotel has a distinct character you won’t find there.- The Room is extremely spacious for the price. The bath is also clean. A curtain can separate the entry corridor area from the Room. - From upper floors you can see Matsumoto Castle—great views. It’s a shame that on the Northern Alps side, apartment buildings block most of the view. - Even with a no-breakfast Plan, you can sign up at the front desk for ¥550 and enjoy a buffet worth well over ¥1,000. *You can have Nozawana pickles every morning. The menu changes daily.* - The lobby has Matsumoto folk-craft furniture tables and chairs, creating a calm atmosphere that feels very “Matsumoto.” - The staff service is excellent. - It’s a bit farther from Matsumoto Station than other Hotels, but it’s closer to Matsumoto Castle and museums, and it’s also right near the downtown area. - A convenience store is nearby.One request: it would be even better if there were a large public bath.

The rice, miso soup, and side dishes were delicious. The front desk staff were very courteous and provided clear, easy-to-understand explanations. Thank you very much.
