Ciav BenhonianStaying at Shoho in Matsumoto was an unforgettable experience that truly deserves five stars. Nestled amidst the serene landscapes of Nagano Prefecture, this hotel seamlessly blends traditional Japanese elegance with modern luxury. From the moment we stepped into the lobby, we were enveloped by a warm and inviting ambiance that set the tone for the rest of our stay.
Our room was a perfect sanctuary—spacious, meticulously clean, and adorned with subtle touches of Japanese artistry. The panoramic views of the Japanese Alps from our window were nothing short of breathtaking, especially when the mountains were bathed in the soft glow of sunrise. The traditional tatami flooring and comfortable futon bedding provided an authentic experience without sacrificing comfort.
One of the standout features of Shoho is its exceptional onsen facilities. Soaking in the natural hot springs while gazing at the picturesque scenery was incredibly rejuvenating. The rotenburo (outdoor bath) offered a tranquil escape where the stresses of daily life simply melted away. The hotel's attention to detail extended to these spaces, with beautifully crafted woodwork and stone elements enhancing the overall atmosphere.
Culinary delights awaited us at every meal. The kaiseki dinner was a masterpiece—a multi-course feast that highlighted seasonal and local ingredients. Each dish was artfully presented and demonstrated a profound respect for Japanese culinary traditions. The breakfast buffet was equally impressive, offering a wide array of both Japanese and Western options to suit all palates.
The staff at Shoho went above and beyond to ensure our stay was exceptional. Their genuine hospitality was evident in every interaction, from assisting with our luggage to offering insightful recommendations on local attractions. Despite any language barriers, their kindness and professionalism shone through.
The hotel's location is ideal for exploring the rich cultural heritage of Matsumoto. We were just a short drive from the iconic Matsumoto Castle, one of Japan's most beautiful original castles. Strolling through the historic Nakamachi Street with its classic white-walled storehouses turned boutique shops and cafes was a delightful way to spend an afternoon.
In addition to its proximity to cultural sites, Shoho serves as a great base for nature enthusiasts. The nearby Kamikochi Valley offers stunning hiking trails that showcase the unspoiled beauty of the Japanese Alps. Returning to the comfort of the hotel after a day of exploration was something we looked forward to, especially knowing a soothing onsen soak awaited us.
In summary, Shoho encapsulates the essence of Japanese hospitality. Every aspect of our stay was thoughtfully curated to provide comfort, relaxation, and cultural enrichment. We left feeling deeply refreshed and with a greater appreciation for the wonders of Matsumoto. Shoho is more than just a place to stay—it's an experience that lingers long after you've departed. We wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone seeking an authentic and luxurious retreat in Japan.

Usuario invitadoMientras buscaba un lugar para quedarme solo, encontré una habitación doble de tamaño razonable a un precio razonable, así que hice una reserva para dos personas e invité a un amigo local a compartir la habitación.
Gracias a mi amigo japonés, pude registrarme fácilmente y, como no había agua en la habitación, pude preguntar fácilmente en la recepción. En cuanto al suministro de agua, me informaron que podía comprarla en la máquina expendedora al lado de la recepción en el primer piso.
No había salida en la cabecera de la cama en la pared, lo cual era un poco incómodo.
La ropa de cama era cómoda, así que pude dormir bien por la noche.

Bryce van de LaarFrom the moment you enter Kokuya Ryokan, be prepared to leave the real world behind and fully immerse yourself in the experience. You swap your shoes for slippers at the door and don’t see them again until you leave. You will receive a warm welcome from polite and gentle-mannered staff, get taken up to your beautiful room, and once you’ve changed into your traditional yukata, it’s time to let the relaxation begin. The multi-course dinner will probably be one of the best meals you’ve had in your life, with many unusual textures and flavors to try. The futons are comfortable, and your room is kept toasty warm. There are even skincare products to keep you pampered and moisturized between soaks in the onsen. Honestly, you won’t even need to open your suitcase while you’re there.
The staff will take you through all the logistics when you arrive, but there are some things that might be useful to know in advance.
- The ryokan sends a shuttle to Yudanaka station at about 15:00 to collect new arrivals, so time your journey to take advantage of this benefit.
- The ryokan also offers guests the opportunity to catch a shuttle to the Snow Monkey Park immediately after breakfast the next morning.
- After you leave the ryokan, they will take your luggage down to the coffee shop opposite the station, so you don’t need to worry about those logistics.
- Trains from Yudanaka back to Nagano leave at 12:30 and 15:30.
- The ryokan itself has several private onsens that you can reserve for a 45-minute slot. Because the onsens are on the property, you can go in with your partner or travel companions regardless of gender. It’s a boutique hotel, so you don’t have to worry about not getting access to all the onsens you want.
- The ryokan is on the main road of the Shibu Onsen town. The hotel will give you a key so you can wonder down the main road, visiting any of the public onsens you wish - however, with so many gorgeous and more private onsens in the hotel itself, you probably won’t have time or the desire for this.
- Also, there is a coffee machine in the room! (I was worried about having to survive without coffee, and this turned out to be an unfounded concern).
We had an incredible and totally indulgent time at Kokuya. Experiencing a traditional ryokan is a privilege that you should try at least once if you can. And adding the Snow Monkeys in give the trip a double purpose, making it that much more memorable. The only thing that would have made the trip better is if we had been allowed to linger longer over every course of our dinner.

Sand1I like the overall vibe of this hotel, it was new and modern. Room was spacious and clean, but considering the price it is expected. There are no complimentary drinks or snacks provided to guests, everything provided in the room was labeled with a price. Lacking some personal touch and very commercialised.

Está a pocos pasos de la estación, pero el camino es fácil de seguir. Se encuentra en una zona residencial. Hay restaurantes de sushi, izakayas y restaurantes de anguila cerca, así que no tendrás problemas para encontrar dónde comer. Las instalaciones son excelentes.

Usuario invitadoEl hotel es de 100 años de edad y su reputación es que John Lennon ha permanecido allí. El piano que juega sigue en el bar.
Ubicación: El hotel está cerca de la calle Old Ginza y alrededor de una conducción 15-minutes desde la estación de Karuizawa. No fue difícil de encontrar, pero debe navegar con un enfoque estrecho al hotel que está helado en esta época del año, por lo que debe conducir con cuidado.
La habitación está muy bien, pero no hay nada que pueda hacer.
El hotel es un hotel de 2 estrellas, y el hotel es un hotel de 2 estrellas. Cuando pedimos por los tobillos y pantalones de dental adicionales para los niños, la custodia de la casa era muy rápida en entregarlos e incluso trajo algunos vestidos de niños para mis hijos.
Instalaciones: El hotel no tenía muchas instalaciones. Hay una pequeña tienda, un bar y un restaurante francés, pero no mucho más. Algunas habitaciones tenían fuentes privadas calientes y nos dieron la oportunidad de actualizar. La habitación tenía un pequeño balcón, aunque estuviéramos en el piso. Observó una zona forestal, por lo que no había mucho que ver, especialmente en la noche. Pero cuando llueve la mañana siguiente, mis niños amaban ir y jugar en la nieve. La habitación de la habitación era muy agradable.
En general: Me gusta este hotel, porque tiene un gran carácter. Es arquitectónico y ha mantenido un gran encanto a pesar de la renovación. El personal es muy profesional y amable. Estaría en este hotel de nuevo.

Travelling LeoThe location of this hotel is perfect with many good restaurants nearby. The reception has two staff who could speak English sufficiently to answer my questions about travelling to Komikochi. Everything about the service was great except for the house keeping who did not make up the room properly. They just left the stack of new towels on the bed and took the soiled ones. The stay came with buffet breakfast which had both western and Japanese food options. I will return to stay if I visit this area again.

Usuario invitadoThere are limited amenities when choosing the west cottages. The onsen and gym is only until 19:00, to which is often the time where we have dinner or arrive in the hotel from touring or shopping. So we were not able to use it on day 1. And on day 2, we were rushing to go back to the hotel just for it.
2. The small cottage doesn’t have any AC. It was hot at since it’s already mid Ma. They provided 1 electric fan for us.
So be aware for those who chose the cottage accommodations.
