Nothing. It was perfect :)

Breakfast was traditional style and delicious and my family loved trying new foods. The beds were really comfy and the place had an old traditional vibe to it - it was one of the highlights of our trip to Japan for sure. So many gorgeous back streets to explore right near the accom also. Staff were welcoming and helpful. Chef was wonderful and the dinner on our 2nd night was a high light. We tried so many new foods :)

It was not a problem for must, but it is an old house and you can hear everything also from the other rooms

Very nice staff Beautiful place in a refurbished old house with a lot of details in the wood work Best breakfast and dinner we’ve had in Japan

Having to share bathrooms and toilets.

Quaint local Japanese inn that is homely and welcoming.

There was some dust left and right and the towels were not drying that well (probably because they were new).

Nice authentic atmosphere with friendly staff. There is a very tasty traditional breakfast which they also offer to make vegan or vegetarian. Shared showers look brand new and you can make use of a private hot bath / onsen after reservering a one hour time slot.

A traditional Ryokan experience! …with comfortable beds, pillows, duvets, tatami mat common room, wooden floored bedroom, lots of toilets, showers, bath and laundry machines available. Our favourite Ryokan for authenticity, and for comfort.

Since the property is a little older; noise echos through the property

The property is in a really good location. Close to the train station, Matsumoto castle and frog street. As well as central to shopping centres. The property was very unique- a converted old persons home with a soba restaurant in the front and accommodation in the back of the property. It also had very good facilities- with seperate bath/ shower options, a rest area as well as a sink and small ammenities (razor, toothbrush/ toothpaste and comb) in the room.

Prepare for a traditional Japanase breakfast. I knew this beforehand as we were staying in a traditionial accommodation, however for me personally this was a bit to heavy on the stomach during the early morning. However my partner loved it so it is really personal. Also we stayed in a room which was really light, so my advice is to bring a sleeping mask with you.

The accommodation is really traditional, exactly what we expected. The futon was suprisingly comfortable. The host was really friendly and when we checked in we were showed around the accommodation so we knew where all the facilities are. The location is also very nice really close to the Matsumoto Castle. I would recommend this accommodation any time!

We needed to be told about access to our room which was in the attic and we needed to go up really steep stairs

Lovely area

As it has traditional screens rather than curtains a lot of light comes in making a bit hard to sleep.

Beautiful traditional style building. Delicious breakfast. Central location

Watch your head if you're tall ;-). didn't find anything to complain about.

Very large family room. The sahred areas (rest room, bathrooms) are veru nice, very clean. The inn is built is a very old storehouse and has a lot of charm. A typical japanese experience. Excellent japanese typical breakfeast. It is also very close to the city center and to what is to be seen in Matsumote

Being very tall it was always going to be a challenge getting through doorways. Not their issue, just something anyone over 5ft 11” would need to watch.

Authentic experience. Comfortable bed and enjoyable breakfast. Very welcoming staff.

As advertised, hotel did not have en suite bathrooms.

Breakfast was delicious. Room was spacious and comfortable. Good value for money. Shared spa bath was highly enjoyable & excellent after a day walking in the snow.

We liked it all, but there are steep stairs/ladder up to the room which would not suit some people or those with young children.

A unique old property, quirky, but so beautifully maintained and it was a fun adventure. Fantastic position in the town. Breakfast was traditional and delicious.

It’s so magical and the architecture and design of the building, rooms, and dining area made it all so extra special. The host is so warm and we spoke over the delicious breakfast he prepared about local ingredients (in English). I wish I had stayed longer - the kotatsu and bath make you never want to leave.

Rooms were clean and spacious, toilet was clean. We opted for the special dinner and was not disappointed!

Nothing to add here.

It was very well located, just a few minutes walk from the train and the bus station, and very close to Matsumoto castle as well. The breakfast was delicious and we were told the dinner was very good too, so I’d definitely recommend future guests to book the option with dinner included.

Tens of opportunities to hit my head getting from my room to the front door. If you're over 6 foot 1, take that into consideration. Staff are not massively experienced but communication is good. Shared space is too small to feel usable if strangers are in it.

Quirky accommodation with real charm in walking distance of Matsumoto landmarks. Lots of sliding doors and funny little passageways. The loft room was spectacular - largely uninsulated but with good aircon. Dinner was well prepared and a fairly reasonable price for the effort and ingredients. Bath was a little confusing with the Auto-fill feature and a 1 hour timeslot for 3 men to bathe separately felt a little rushed but overall a comfortable experience. The 'yukata' provided were styled like very authentic oldschool peasant clothes which was fun.
