It's a beautiful ryokan. We got a room facing the river. The view from the balcony was totally chill n relaxing! Love it. I would stay here again for the view.

Guests at Fukashiso can enjoy relaxing in the spacious public/private baths and request for massage services. All rooms have a traditional Japanese-style decor and free Wi-Fi is available throughout the property. JR Matsumoto Train Station is a 10-minute drive away and JR Minami Matsumoto Train Station is a 5-minute drive away. A free shuttle is available from both stations, if reserved in advance.

Excellent and affordable (compared to other Ryokan) place to sleep. Lovely rooms, three baths (man, woman, family). Book dinner with them! Such delicious food, each dish a picture to the eye. The service explains in your own language what you are eating, using the phone. So cute. You can be picked up from the station if you consult with the Ryokan (is a bit too far away to walk). In the evening you can have a drink in a cute place inside opposite the reception, which is nice because there is not very much around.

An Asian breakfast is available every morning at the ryokan. For visitors looking to embark on day trips to nearby landmarks, Nunoya Ryokan features a selection of packed lunches. The ryokan is located in a geothermal area, with a number of hot springs nearby for guests to relax in.

Nunoya was one of our favourite accommodations during our month-long trip to Japan. This ryokan is about as charming and old-world Japan as it gets. The decor is simple but elegant. The beds were probably the most comfortable we've slept on during our holiday. Nunoya is located right on the old shopping street where restaurants and souvenir shops abound. The couple who own the ryokan are very sweet, inviting, and went out of their way to try to find us a restaurant for dinner. We had breakfast there twice. The Japanese style breakfast was diverse and interesting, although not my favourite. The french toast was phenomenal - do yourself a favour and order it. They make a great latte too.

Offering both Western and Japanese-style accommodations, 松本本箱 features indoor/outdoor hot-spring baths and grilled foods. JR Matsumoto Train Station is a 20-minute drive away.

松本本箱 Ryokan is a 10-minute drive from Matsumoto Castle and Matsumoto Folkcraft Museum.

Everything was perfect, and that's no exaggeration! Matsumoto Jujo is not just a hotel; it has cafes, a bakery, a boutique, and more. And this is because they created the place to help rejuvenate the local region/town, Asama Onsen. Just this background story is already so moving and impressive. I stayed at the "Matsumoto Honbako" and there, they have originally an old communal bath which turned into an instagram-worthy library. I heard it's more than 10,000 books! The design of the place is too awesome! It's like brutalist structure but Scandinavian interior with Japanese elements here and there. I cannot really say much but I know for sure it's great design! Their dining place, "367" serves the freshest ingredients, especially the veggies!! Dinner is filling but it will not make you feel bloated or too full. Breakfast is the same and I liked that you get a lot of fresh bread - straight from their own bakery. Actually, you can buy most of the ingredients they use in their dishes at their boutique. I got myself some bottles of their original apple Juice. There were so many things to like: onsen bath at the veranda of my own room, free tumbler which you can refill with their original coffee, private reading nooks within bookshelves, free snacks in each floor, super comfy beds, amazing staff, Edo-style communal bath outside the hotel... the list goes on. I cannot wait to go back again!!

This is a place to go for the incredible meals. The chef is passionate about quality Japanese cuisine. I recommend enjoying a meal there even if you don't stay in the hotel, which is quirky but clean and comfortable. You can also get a very hearty breakfast to start the day with. Wonderful hospitality.

    This was the most wonderful place we stayed in our month in Japan. Three nights of keiseki dinners, each better than the last. We had a huge comfy tatami room, the onsen were fab, the staff were incredibly kind, dropping us into town each day and collecting us in the afternoon, making it easy to enjoy marvellous Matsumoto. Totally recommend it to anyone who wants a homely feeling ryokan with top end food.

    Onsen Yado Misuzuso is good value to stay in the mountains near Kamikochi. We stayed in a beautiful tatami room with yukatas provided to wear to the baths. The baths at this onsen smell really strongly of sulfur, be warned. There’s a lovely tiny restaurant Iodori located right next door so we could just walk over for dinner. The staff were really kind.

    It‘s a really authentic Onsen-experience. We were the only non-Japanese at this place. Our room was a traditional room with tatami-mattresses. In the family room 3 slept on futons, 2 in beds. It‘s half-board. In the evening we had a 10 course menu in a private room. Although we had an English menu we were overwhelmed the first time with how to eat what and what needs to be cooked and what not

    Had a great stay here and truly enjoyed the whole Ryokan experience. Staff was extremely hospitable. Thee traditional room and futons were comfy (though the duvet was a bit warm). The onsen was perfect and the dinner an breakfast were truly Japanese and all very good. Even though there are some language barriers, they did their utmost best to explain things, where needed with help from a translation app.

    Breakfast was delicious and varied. The room and facilities were clean, it helps that the building is brand new. Location was close to Matsumoto Station and the bus terminal to Kamikochi. And the onsen was a highlight - located at the top floor and you could enjoy the view of the city. The ambience was like a modern Japanese inn with tatami floors for the whole building. I would stay here again!
