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.

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.

Very helpful staff rooms are very clean and there is a nice sitting area in the lobby that serves food and drinks. The neighborhood is full of interesting little restaurants and it is not far from many of the major attractions. The hotel is a great value for the price.
