In my opinion this was one of the best check in experiences due to Rina’s patience and thoughtfulness. As for the rest of the stay words are not enough to describe the experience and ambiance you will encounter from the fantastic food and presentation to the top notch Onsen facilities. I’ve been to a dozen Onsen in Japan and this stands out as top three maybe behind Beppu KAI and Arima. I highly recommend Matsumoto KAI if ever In Nagano. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/CCD5527FF6678BBF537FE23C7A6060C0026915071720730052724.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/9A6DBA6A70B84B05695B8D7CB25BEF67CE3F9A4D1720730052908.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/58AC36EC58FD70E683C8A18CDE0C98470E18D5171720730051955.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/5F90C1B123E173AC14C63C095798E43E6748F31E1720730053583.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### William Stayed 1 night in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ken 9 Jan 2025 Liked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities The staff make for a wonderful experience. From the moment we arrived to the moment we left staff were attentive. We enjoyed an in room with indoor onsen for two nights. The restaurant meal offerings are authentic Japanese and wonderfully presented. One of the highlights of our two week trip to Japan. We took the bus to the local castle and art museum. The facility is off the beaten path but there is a Lawson store close by. Taxi needed to go to and from the local train station. Be sure to book taxi early as the local taxi company is quite busy in the morning. Wifi and fridge worked well. Be prepared to sleep on a futon-we were satisfied with that. This place is clean as any I've seen. Evening music presentation by local accomplished musicians a real treat. Come here to relax! ##### Ken Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2025 ### 4/10 Poor #### André 10 Oct 2023 Disliked: Room comfort #### Disappointing Ryokan experience Altogether the remote location from the town center, difficult communication due to the language barrier not sufficiently overcomed by Google translator as well as a rudimentary private onsen setting contributed to a really disappointing Ryokan experience with respect to our expectations. ##### André Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2023 ### 4/10 Poor #### Marco 2 May 2024 Liked: Cleanliness Disliked: Property conditions & facilities Very poor value for money. We paid $2,800 for two rooms/two nights, and the overall quality, service, and property did not meet our expectations for the price paid and benchmarks in similar prices in Japan. We had a problem after the first night's dinner (two of our family members were sick) and asked to cancel the rest of the breakfast and dinners included in the property. After telling the manager about our incident, they did not recognize any refund or gesture. We are definitively not coming back. ##### Marco Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 18 Feb 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### 休閑 星野系列 - 界·松本（位於淺間溫泉♨️）可能心諗著淺間溫泉，對風呂設計期望過高？因為過往住咗幾間界都各自有特色及驚喜，這裡有10幾種不同風呂，但係，種多（室內外、mint & cypress sauna 、躺平、直立⋯但係，有點粗製濫做⋯當然室內更衣/休息室都係星野簡約舒服作風⋯亦一定有風呂後飲品🥤及雪條（但係，呢度係供應蘋果sorbet, 質感介乎雪糕與sorbet 之間，每一啖充滿蘋果味，超正）⋯房間當然簡約、柔和、超大⋯但係，冇景觀可言⋯但係房間大門口前，再有木欄柵及趟門，非常優雅⋯⋯朝、夕食都沿用安排獨立房間⋯⋯每次都好似走入迷宮⋯精美、美味、晚餐懷石料理其中雞鴨涮涮簥麥麵非常入味出色⋯黃昏，有自費wine tasting , 可惜只有日文講解；晚上有吉他音樂會及compliment餐酒供應⋯ ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/E2E53CCDE323D1D2D4D51A62504C58ECAF88CCCA1739877605165.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/49E4833C6459391B49AFCD69A178A63349BF1B871739877605029.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### JAECHUN 3 Aug 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### 호텔 서비스정신 매우 친절 합니다.음시도 깨끗하고 맛있어요. 특히 금고에 여권과 지갑,현금등 중요 물품두고 도쿄호텔에 왔는데 제방에 직접 전화해주시고 다음날 잘 받았습니다. 그것도 무료로, 걱정 많이 햇는 데 ,정말 감사드립니다. ##### JAECHUN Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Peter 5 Apr 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Wunderschönes stylisches Riokan typisch japanisch.

I cannot say enough about how attentive and helpful the staff at this first class accommodation was for our group. The food here is also awesome. Kaiseki dinners were elegant and delicious. Breakfasts were also traditional yet memorable. My travel companions were in such awe of the food and its presentation that there was sparse conversation as everyone was mesmerized by each course. ##### IslandGuy808 Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 25 Oct 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great hotel, Not enough flexibility The hotel is beautiful and had a lot of luxurious touches. The staff was helpful and kind. I wish there were a shuttle service that was available as we had to take a $20 cab ride each way to get to downtown and back. The staff also required us to tell them when we were planning to leave and return so they could clean, set up, or put away the beds, as well as prepare dinner and breakfast. This meant that we needed to stick to a schedule, which meant that we had flexibility in general - we had to be awake at a certain time for breakfast or had to return at certain times. All in all a great hotel, but better for people who prefer a more structured vacation. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 12 Oct 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### 一貫星野旅館的體驗 這次是我第二次入住這家溫泉旅館，上一次已是十年前，因第一次的經驗良好，十年後決定再次到訪。現分享今次入住的體驗和跟上次的分別。這家旅館十年前還是叫貴祥庵， 其實2006年已經是星野集團一員。服務有一貫星野集團的質素，旅館員工都會說英語，溝通沒有問題，也比較懂外國人的需要。這次入住的房間有私人露天風呂，還有一個小的庭園，空間不錯。大浴場有兩個，採用日替制，即男和女浴場每天對調。兩個大浴場的休閒區都有按摩椅，也有免費飲料和瓶裝水提供。館內提供付費指壓服務，我嘗過覺得比座免費按摩椅還要差。我這次選的膳食是日式料理，味道和擺盤不錯，只是不算有什麼驚喜。接下來是跟上次入住的比較。員工換了比較年青的，個人比較喜歡舊那批員工，因服務和體貼的程度較配合入住傳統日式旅館的感覺。以前有較像高級旅館提供的代客泊車服務，這次要自己泊車。以前晚餐在餐廳門口會列出用餐人士的姓氏和用餐房間，現已取消這安排。用餐房間以前是坐在地台上，現已填平改為擺放一般的餐檯和椅子。菜單以前會印上用餐人士的姓氏和當天日期，這次也沒有了。菜式方面，以前和牛會標名來源，現沒有特別註明。個人覺得以前比較有特色一點。房間沒有大的變化和翻新，還是保留十年前的模樣，只是電視機換上高清液晶的。房間雖然沒有翻新，但算是保養不錯，當然不可跟新開的旅館比較。旅館建築由名設計師羽深隆雄設計，外觀比較新潮，現在來看也不過時。總括來說界松本是一家不錯的旅館，只是以前好像更好。如果要到松本和上高地一帶旅遊，可以考慮一住。 ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Oct 2018 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Shibu Onsen KOKUYA](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Nagano-Hotels-Shibu-Onsen-KOKUYA.h11445742.Hotel-Information) > > [The Number 11 by the Warren Collection](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Belfast-Hotels-The-Number-11.h66882942.Hotel-Information) > > [Moxy Paris Val D’Europe](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Paris-Hotels-Moxy-Paris-Val-DEurope.h83018458.Hotel-Information) > > [Grand Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Krakow-Hotels-Grand-Hotel.h913265.Hotel-Information) > > [Romantic Hotels in East Sussex](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Destinations-In-East-Sussex-Romantic-Hotel.0-0-d6046200-tRomanticHotel.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [Columba House ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kingussie-Hotels-Columba-House-Hotel-Garden-Restaurant.h3111800.Hotel-Information) > > [Motel6 Hotels in London](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Motel-6.0-0-d55800--bMotel6.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Lazy Daisys Farm Cottages](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sheffield-Hotels-Lazy-Daisys-Farm-Cottages.h27252301.Hotel-Information) > > [Toboso Apar-Turis](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Nerja-Hotels-Toboso-Apar-Turis.h1383653.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Scapolatiello](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cava-De-Tirreni-Hotels-Hotel-Scapolatiello.h54087.Hotel-Information) > > [Hôtel Louis II ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Paris-Hotels-Hotel-Louis-2.h1383410.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels near Cheltenham Racecourse](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cheltenham-Racecourse-Hotels.0-l6169978-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Steigenberger Icon Wiltcher's](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Brussels-Hotels-Steigenberger-Icon-Wiltchers.h3057.Hotel-Information) > > [Leonardo Hotel Breda City Center](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Breda-Hotels-Apollo-Hotel-Breda-City-Centre.h3726.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Corballis (DUB) to Bari (BRI)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/dub/bri/dublin-to-bari) > > [Flights from Harare (HRE) to Lusaka (LUN)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/hre/lun/harare-to-lusaka) > > [Flights from Hounslow (LHR) to Dhaka (DAC)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/lhr/dac/london-to-dhaka) ### Cars > [Car hire in Canterbury](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Compare-Cheap-Car-Hire-In-Canterbury.d4596.Car-Hire-Guide) ### Activities ### Packages ### General > [Visit Prizren](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Prizren.dx6199595) ---
