Yumotoya

This is out of town, but I’m a sucker for traditional onsen ryokan. This place has aged well, rooms are spacious, there is a private onsen on the top floor for 40min usage, and there are a couple of great restaurants 10mins walking distance around. Lawson out the front. Staff were excellent. Only stayed 1 night but would go back. Great if you have a car.

If you’d like to experience an authentic ryokan with onsen and terrific kaiseki dining this place is a good choice. Although the facilities show some wear and tear, overall it’s clean and adequately maintained. The staff ensure guests feel welcomed and taken care of. I would stay again.

This is a very well maintained traditional hot spring inn. The staff was very helpful and friendly. The baths were wonderful after a long day of sightseeing. We opted for the breakfast which was excellent. Highly recommend if you want a taste of traditional Japan. Matsumoto castle was beautiful and we happened to hit a day when there was a local beer festival.

This is a cute ver traditional ryokan. However it is in dire need of a remodel. Many stains on the carpets and walls, ripped wallpaper, more mold in the baths than I’m comfortable with. The rooms themselves are nice and clean but all the amenities are quite old. Has enough parking for only 3 cars so keep that in mind. Very very friendly staff though, and the food is wonderful! One big problem however is WIFI is only on the 1ST FLOOR! NOWHERE ELSE! So if you want a quiet device free stay, it’s perfect, if you’re low on data, maybe skip this one.
