    Despite large breakfast buffet, selection is limited if you want western food after having had japanese breakfast for many days. Very large hotel.

    Impressive mountain and city views. Nice onsens - both indoor and outdoor.

    The location. The hotel is 7km outside Matsumoto centre although is well-served by a local bus as well as the hotel’s own shuttle bus. This is a large hotel complex but unless you have pre-booked dinner at least 24 hours before, the only option is to head back into town or find a convenience store as there is no room service or local restaurants.

    Easy accommodation on the outskirts of Matsumoto. Appeared to have great Onsen facilities but did not have time to try them as only stayed one night. Breakfast the best of our trip so far.

    Could be a bit hard to get to the location without a car. There is a bus from Matsumoto station that will take you there but it is not going to have much space for luggage. The staff try their best but not all of them can speak English. Best if you can speak a bit of Japanese

    Excellent Ryokan with many options for the onsen. It was worthwhile booking with dinner and breakfast. Dinner was delicious and breakfast selection was huge.

    The staff was courteous and helpful. Many spoke English, so while we never expect it, it's always a bonus and makes things easier. The breakfast bar had a wide assortment of both typical Japanese and Western breakfast foods. And dinner was AMAZING. It started with appertif, then appetizers, sashimi, hot pot, grilled meat... There were at least 8 or 9 different servings. We were stuffed and couldn't finish everything (but I tried 😉). The onsens were luxurious, as was our room, which came with the sauna. We had a room with a tatami and roll-out beds, so I could've used a little more padding, but that didn't detract from the experience at all. I enjoyed this girl's trip so much I booked again with my family.

    I really have nothing to add here, considering the reasonable price I have paid. Only perhaps travellers should note that this is quite far off the city.

    The rooms are spacious and comfortable. The Onsen venues are remarkable. Huge and has good views in one of them. Food spread at breakfast is sumptuous, allowing us to taste the different Jap cuisines all in the morning! The dinner was also a good experience with quality food served. I must commend on a staff at the reception who took the initiative to reserve a place for us when she learnt where we were going. Without that, the second night dinner could not have taken place as the place was run by only one person.
