“Very nice onsen hotel with panoramic view.”

We have private onsen in our room with beautiful panoramic view. We have also visited the public onsen and they are stunning. We have our private room for dinner and breakfast which is quiet and comfortable.

“Best Ryokan in Matsumoto”

The dining was wonderful. We were able to relax in a separate space for the five of us to eat. We were able to travel comfortably to the hotel because the hotel provided a shuttle bus from Matsumoto Station to the hotel. In addition, we provided baggage delivery and storage services from the group hotel in front of Matsumoto Station to Shoho, so we could enjoy the trip without the burden of carrying luggage.

“A bit expensive, but this is the best choice ever. The room with private onsen is fabulous.”

9.0

23 Apr 2025

Overall, it was a pleasant stay. We were glad to take a rest at this hotel for 2 nights! We chose a room in the Central Building with a private onsen. This was the best decision ever. The hotel is quite new. It provides a lot of facilities, e.g. welcome drinks bar, a few public onsens, shops, spa room and restaurants. The room is massive, with spacious living and dinning room, toilet and bathroom, 2 separated double size beds, and a private onsen by the window. Through the window, we can see the view of the city. The day and night views are amazing. Since the onsen is next to an opened window, it is very chill and cool, especially when it was a 10 degrees night. The room is also fully equipped with amenities, e.g. bottled water, snacks, toothbrush and personal hygiene items. There was a very nice tea and coffee set provided in the room too. The room is so clean and well-equipped for anyone to have a after-meal break. The buffet breakfast is great. The hotel provides different options daily. If it can increase the chinese food options, like more dim sum options, it will be even better. The dinner is fabulous. We have 2 different menus on 2 nights and they both cover a wide range of options, e.g. waygu beef, tempura, sashimi, rice and desserts. Trsut me, you will never regret to include meals into the booking.
