Stasiun Sinchon × Hotel·penginapan gaya Jepang dengan penilaian tinggi untuk mata air panas dan pemandian

When I visited Zenkoji Temple to give thanks for completing the Saigoku Pilgrimage, I stayed at the nostalgic Asama Onsen, which I had last visited more than 40 years ago. I chose Kikunoyu, a historic Ryokan built in the traditional honmune-zukuri style. From parking on arrival, the staff kindly guided me into the building. The massive zelkova main pillar and heavy beams were breathtaking, and I was deeply moved by how magnificent the building was—exactly as rumored. Then to my Room: it was spotless, not a speck of dust anywhere. It felt like everything had been checked again and again. You can truly sense their high standards of hospitality and thoughtful attention to detail. After refreshing myself in the Onsen—known as a “beauty bath”—I headed to dinner. Hot dishes were served hot, and each course arrived at just the right time to match our pace. Using seasonal local ingredients, every dish in this kaiseki meal was carefully prepared with great effort, reflecting the high level of skill of the head chef and kitchen team. After dinner, I enjoyed another soak in the large public bath after it switched over for men and women, then went to bed. The next morning, I enjoyed another elaborate and delicious breakfast. At check-out, I had a pleasant conversation with the elegant proprietress (okami), who shared many stories with me. She then saw me off until my car disappeared from view. Kikunoyu truly lived up to its reputation as a long-established Ryokan—I left completely satisfied in both body and mind. Thank you so much for adding something special to my trip to Nagano.

Both the Room and the large public bath were clean and comfortable. The large public bath is not very spacious, but it offers views of the Alps mountain range and was very relaxing. The breakfast had a great variety unique to Nono and was delicious. The breakfast staff were attentive, promptly refilling dishes and clearing tables, so we could enjoy our meal comfortably and were very satisfied.

Warm, heartfelt hospitality, delicious meals, and a wonderful hot bath—this was a lovely Accommodation. We were completely satisfied! Singing and dancing along with the mandolin concert was so much fun and became a great memory. Thank you for the photos. We’d love to visit again in a different season.

We stayed in a Room with a private bath. The Room was very spacious, and both the interior and the bath were clean and beautiful, making it easy to relax and unwind. The amenities were well stocked, so we felt right at home. The bath was also large and comfortable, and the provided hair dryer, shampoo, and other items were high quality. The staff were very courteous as well, which made our stay pleasant—we were very satisfied. Personally, it was the best Accommodation I have stayed at so far. I would love to stay again. Thank you.

Arrived tired... The natural Onsen bath was wonderful! The staff's courteous service was very helpful. I also enjoyed the soba noodles for breakfast.

This is our second year staying here. We visit every year around this time. The baths are excellent, the staff are very courteous, and the food is delicious. Our favorite is the Chinese restaurant on the second floor—the fried rice is especially good. We’ll likely be back again next year.

The staff provided excellent service. The private bath was spacious, allowing our family to relax comfortably. The soba served at dinner was very delicious. I would love to stay again if I have the chance.

This time, I stayed in the Koyanagi Room. The Room was beautifully arranged, and I sank into the incredibly comfortable rocking chair, played my favorite music through the speaker, and read a book—gradually feeling freed from everyday life. The meal was a carefully crafted course that you won’t find elsewhere and truly nourished both body and soul. The outdoor bath late at night was also a quietly moving experience. Highly recommended as a special treat for yourself!

Compact and well-organized, typical of Route Inn, ensuring a comfortable stay.

Our first time in Matsumoto. The Hotel we stayed at the night before in Kamikochi was wonderful, but the meals here were even better, and my spouse and I were truly impressed. The staff provided attentive and pleasant service with perfect timing, allowing us to enjoy a very fulfilling dinner. We would love to visit again.

The breakfast had a great reputation, and it truly lived up to it with a wide variety of dishes and desserts. The large public bath had good security measures in place, so I could use it with peace of mind. They also helped with luggage storage, making this Hotel highly recommended for travelers.

It was great that we could store our bicycles indoors, and the bathtub was large and very nice. Since the laundry facilities can’t be used at night, it’s difficult to do laundry if you arrive in the evening. There were also various rental items available, making it easy to go running.

We stayed over a three-day weekend and were very satisfied with both the Facility and the service. It turned into a last-minute trip and we made our Reservation on the day of our stay, but this Ryokan was more comfortable than the Accommodation Fee would suggest. Meals: Breakfast featured a wide variety of dishes made with local ingredients. Everything was delicious. Room: The Room was clean and spacious enough for two people. Being able to replace the hand towels was a small touch, but I really appreciated it. Baths: We bathed twice, morning and evening. We were grateful that we could Reserve a private bath by phone before check-in. Every bath was very clean; none were particularly large, but they felt calm and relaxing. Because the shower water was also Onsen water, the water pressure was weak, but it didn’t bother me much. Inside the Accommodation: Every staff member greeted us with a smile whenever we passed by. We also enjoyed how much there was to see—there’s a pond inside, as well as a beautifully maintained courtyard with an ashiyu (footbath). Since I don’t often buy souvenirs at a Ryokan, I’m glad I could purchase cider made at the on-site winery.

A relative was hospitalized in Matsumoto, so I had to stay here on short notice. I chose it mainly for the convenient location near the station and the checkout time, but the Room was spacious and bright, with a well-balanced level of digital features, which felt very relaxing. The large public bath also displayed crowding status, so I could enjoy a leisurely soak during a quieter time. Highly recommended.

I made a Reservation without doing much research because it looked good, and it turned out to be the perfect choice. The nostalgic charm of the Showa era is beautifully balanced with modern Facilities, making the stay extremely comfortable. All of the staff were genuinely kind and welcoming—the hospitality was outstanding. The meals were also delicious; even though I’m on a diet, I finished dinner and was completely full. Breakfast felt lighter (not small in portion), and perhaps because it was Japanese-style, my weight didn’t increase much, which was a relief. The private bath doesn’t require a Reservation—if it’s available, you can use it—so I enjoyed it twice without any hassle. Since the number of guests per day is limited, it was quiet with a calm, adult atmosphere, and I could truly relax. Thank you very much.

This was a family trip with our 1-year-old and 4-year-old. When we stayed before, only adult meals were provided, but this time they prepared a kids’ set for our older child. Since our child loves to eat, they were thrilled when it came in a large bento box and they got to open it themselves—they were the most excited of all. Having the fun of opening the lid was also wonderful. Both dinner and breakfast were delicious, and the adults were very satisfied as well. They also prepared two Rooms for us, which was a huge help—we could use one Room to watch TV and get ready in the morning without waking the children. We usually like to try staying in different places, but this is one place we definitely want to return to again and again!!

It was a clean Hotel conveniently located near the station. The amenities are offered buffet-style, so you can take only what you need, which is efficient and great. I deducted one star because the bath was a typical Hotel bath, but using the provided bath salts helped me feel refreshed. Above all, the bed firmness suited my preference and made it easy to sleep. If I visit Matsumoto again, I’d like to stay here again.

We got a great deal, and they even upgraded us to a better Room—everything was taken care of. The parking lot is convenient at 1,100 yen with unlimited in-and-out access. It’s close to the station, and the service is excellent—an Hotel we truly appreciated.

My parents stayed here on this occasion. We made a Reservation for a Room with meals and a great view of the Northern Alps. - They were delighted with the view and said they could clearly see the mountains of the Northern Alps. - The meal was the HAKKO course. While not flashy, every dish was truly delicious—my picky father praised it highly. My mother, who is also particular about taste, said it was excellent as well. - As they live in an Onsen area themselves, they felt the Onsen views were wonderful, but the water quality felt a bit squeaky on the skin and wasn’t quite to their liking. Overall, they were very satisfied. Thank you very much.

Conveniently located for sightseeing in Matsumoto. The property was clean and comfortable, making for a pleasant stay. I was happy to find oyaki and delicious bread at the breakfast buffet. Best of all, we were able to use the baths at an affiliated Onsen Ryokan.
