When is the best time to go to Hotaka?

While Hotaka offers a pleasant experience year-round, the best time to visit is during spring (late April to early June) or autumn (late September to early November) for the most comfortable weather and stunning natural beauty. Spring in Hotaka is particularly lovely, as the cherry blossoms typically bloom from late April to early May, painting the town in soft pinks and whites. This season is superb for gentle strolls along the Azumino Art Line, where many museums and galleries are located, and for enjoying the clear mountain views as the last of the snow melts on the peaks. Couples will find the mild temperatures and scenic landscapes ideal for romantic walks and exploring the local craft shops. Autumn brings a spectacular display of vibrant red, orange, and gold foliage, especially from mid-October to early November. The crisp, cool air is excellent for outdoor activities like cycling along the picturesque roads or visiting the Daio Wasabi Farm, where the surrounding mountains provide a dramatic backdrop.

"I don’t believe this accommodation justify the cost if you will stay at this property without dinner and breakfast. I was able to reduce the expense for a night to c. $55 by using Expedia credits equal to $30, but if I didn’t have it, I would recommend to stay another one. Far from the center of Matsumoto Nothing was around the property Nothing would be provided to kids, such as amenities, welcoming tea and snacks, basically. The only nicer point was hot spring with good scene"

"I stayed at this hotel for the Norikura HC event. The hotel prepared a very early breakfast for the visitors. It was very nice. But there was one thing that was disappointing. It was parking problem. When I checked-in, it was already full, so staff let me know 2nd/3rd parkings. But map was so complicated, that's why I tired to look for them. If the problem is releafed, I'd like to stay (at 2025 Norikura HC?) again."

Alpico Plaza Hotel

8/10 Good

"Small room that was a little tired, but clean. Had 2 rooms, so next to our teenage kids but no connecting rooms at the hotel. Amenities were at the reception to help yourself if needed. Free hot and cold soft drinks available every afternoon in the restaurant."

aduminoyu onyado nonomatsumoto

10/10 Excellent

"I truly enjoyed my stay and would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a memorable and authentic experience. What impressed me most was the incredibly welcoming staff, who made me feel at home from the moment I arrived. Their genuine hospitality added a personal touch that made all the difference.The experience felt authentic and thoughtfully curated, with so many small details carefully considered to make guests feel special. From the atmosphere to the little touches throughout my stay, everything contributed to a unique and memorable experience. It was clear that a lot of care and attention went into creating such a wonderful environment. I left with great memories and would happily return in the future."

THE CELECTON Matsumoto

8/10 Good

"The Celecton is a nice, standard Japanese hotel. The rooms are small, but they are practical, very clean and amenities are good. If you want a hotel that is close to the Castle then this is a good one, but it is 10-15 minutes walk to the train station, restaurants, and the other attractions in Matsumoto. My room was facing the Castle but directly above a busy road, so it was quite noisy."
