Loved the whole look of the inn… so comfortable and cozy. The Onsen is private (you reserve 1/2hr spots) and so lovely… great place to warm up at the end of the day! Staff super friendly and helpful.

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.

The air-conditioned rooms come with an open-air bath.

Surpassed our expectations in every way! Loved the included breakfast and 7 course dinner, the onsen-turned-bookstore, and the private onsen in our room with hot spring water directly from the source. 10/10 would return!

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.

My friends and I stayed here on very short notice after the shinkansen service was suspended and we had to divert through Nagano. We're very happy we did! The building itself is very tidy and homey! The bathing facilities were very comfortable and clean! The breakfast was beyond delicious! The staff is exceptionally welcoming and very kind (they even gave us a ride to the nearby bus station to drop off our luggage, then dropped us off at Matsumoto Castle)! I could go on and on about the staff and their hospitality. We know VERY little Japanese but their English was amazing and they did a great job explaining the amenities to us! The surrounding area is very quiet and beautiful! They are tucked inconspicuously in a small, suburban neighborhood and mountains surround the area. I cannot recommend this place enough and hope to stay here again in the future! If you are in the area, please do yourself a favor and stay here :)

    I absolutely loved my stay. The house was clean and my room was very comfortable. The common area was also very tidy and nice; I had a fun evening with a Japanese family who was spending the night there. The host is amazing and very caring - he used a little device to communicate with me in my native language, and at some point he even offered to drive me to a sento (which would have been a 30min walk). 5 stars!

    Our host was very warm & welcoming and despite us not being able to speak Japanese, he patiently communicated with us via a translator. Our room was a lovely traditional style room and it fit my family snugly. The location is fabulous being an easy walking distance to the castle, shops, restaurants, temples & funky streets. Highly recommend!

    The hostel is in a great location and so quiet. The staff are really helpful, but best of all you could feel the history of the place. We are a family of four (two boys aged 13 & 11) and all thought it was the best hostel we’ve stayed at - friendlier, more fun and better than many hotels. Would stay there happily again.

    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.

    A family-run guesthouse in Matsumato with a passionate and lovely owner couple. They do everything so that their guests feel welcome and comfortable. We enjoyed the Japanese style room (our baby son also loved it, too), had a nice bath in the Onsen and had most delicious home-made breakfasts. This is really value for money and it was the best place that we stayed at during our three weeks in Japan.

    It seems to be a newly built hotel. We loved the traditional tatami interior and the overall cleanliness and simplicity of the rooms and public spaces. The service was slightly above the already-excellent Japanese standard. The men's onsen was very nice with one hot outdoor pool, one hot indoor, one cold indoor and a sauna room. The no-extra-charge late night ramen, ice cream and drinks were tasty and fun for our family. The location is quite close to the train station so you don't have to trek too far with your luggage.

    We really enjoyed our one night stay, my kids didn’t want to leave! Perfect place for our family of four en route to Kamikochi. The host was very kind and the home was perfect. We had no issues. I think we will return in the fall for apple picking!

    We booked the entire house for a family of 3 and the place is huge! Way bigger than we needed but great fun place to stay in. Nice funky vibe. The location proved perfect for an early morning photo shoot at Crow Castle (a minute’s stroll away) before it opened and the crowds descend!

    Our family loved the big traditional tatami room and the fun bunk bed room. Super convenient location near Matsumoto castle and the train station with easy parking, as well as many good restaurants nearby. Everyone enjoyed having their own space, as well as lots of room in the kitchen and dining area. Kids loved the adorable cat notes throughout.
