Matsumoto Hotel Guide - Luxury Hotels in Matsumoto, Japan

Cozy family run guesthouse in the middle of the Tateshina forest. Simple yet well prepared dinner and breakfast. Good wi-fi. Attentive and friendly service. Children welcome. Very good value.

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.

We arrived in Matsumoto by JR Train after completing the Alpen-Route from Tateyama to Shin-Omachi. This hotel is very near the Matsumoto castle and two main shopping districts. Everything you want to see on foot in the core area is accessible from this location. We thoroughly enjoyed Matsumoto as a smaller city in Japan with wonderful shops, restaraunts, and cafes and a very rich historical treasure in the Matsumoto Castle and surrounding park.

Good friendly staff and clean rooms as expected of a business hotel. They held our bags prior to check-in when we arrived early in the morning. Great that the bags were already in the room when we check-in.

The Hotel had a country feel about it and the staff were great. Bathroom a bit small but we managed Okay.

Clean and well-located business hotel beside train station. Very quiet and good facilities. Walking distance to downtown area, grocery store, shopping.
