Matsumoto Hotel Guide - Luxury Hotels in Matsumoto, Japan

Had a great experience at this hotel, if you don't have much luggage it's an easy walk from the train station, even though it's on the other side of town it only take 15min. 3-5 min walk to the castle which is a must see. Around the corner (literally 10 second walk) from the hotel was one of the highest rated restaurants in town on tripadvisor, delicious suba. Would definitely choose this hotel again.

very comfortable and clean and convenient hotel at a great price

Sasaya was easy to find and is a beautiful old ryokan set in lush surrounds. We were personally greeted at the door, given tea and sweets while being checked in and were shown the facilities so we were familiar with where the baths were. Our room was 8 tatami mats with an extra annex, super quiet and very clean, with separate bathroom. But the best thing about this hotel were the baths - the outdoors rotemburo is just this side of heaven, especially on dusk, and it's private. The indoors baths are almost as nice. The waters in this onsen are milky-white and feel amazing. Both dinner and breakfast were great, and are included in the rate – almost more food than we could eat and lots of local vegetables and fish, prepared well. Two enthusiastic thumbs up to Sasaya.

a great find - central, smart looking, friendly staff, comfortable

We loved everything about this hotel. :) The staff were extremely helpful and lovely, the room was neat and clean, and spacious (for Japan). The breakfast was delicious and the onsen was great! It is situated in a brilliant spot in Matsumoto near the station, and not far from the Matsumoto Caste, definately recommend staying here. No complaints at all, great value for money. Enjoy!
