Quiet location, wonderful and delicious, made-to-order breakfast. Staff were very friendly and helpful. We needed to ship our luggage to Matsumoto while we hiked the Nakasendo trail and the staff graciously filled out the freight form for us. We will definitely recommend this hotel to our friends.

Clean double room, washroom was on the bigger side since the sink is located outside, free sake in the lobby, good location, friendly staff. The only thing was the AC wasn’t working well so our room was kind of warm and stuffy

I loved this hotel! The location was perfect and in a walking distance from many sightseeing places. It was very clean too. Only the rooms were unbelieably small. For 1 person it would not be a problem, but for 2 people opening the luggage could be an issue. Despite this, I loved staying here.
