Impressive mountain and city views. Nice onsens - both indoor and outdoor.
Despite large breakfast buffet, selection is limited if you want western food after having had japanese breakfast for many days. Very large hotel.

When I booked the initial reservation with booking.com it had included a price for the dinner. When I arrived they told me that it was invalid and that I would need to pay for the dinner out of pocket and they might not have a space since it's reservations only. They did have space, but again, I paid extra even though I thought it was included.

Room was amazing. The view was really nice and so was the all the tatami area and the bath. Really spacious and wide. Super comfy and the onsen facilities is really nice. The dinner and breakfast served in a private room for the family was also incredible!
Nothing to add here really,nothing negative….maybe it could be a bit more affordable?

The hotel was nice and had a good view of the city. Their hotel store was also good as it had a lot of stuff for sale.
Very limited restaurant options and they won't serve you unless you have done prior reservation. For a hotel that is outside of the city center they should have better restaurant services. And they should have more English speaking staff.

Excellent dinner with wonderful and sincere service from Takayama-san. The baths had nice beauty products in the ladies shower stalls and vanity areas. Bath waters were hot and baths were spacious, with the semi outdoor one having a lovely view. Breakfast spread was wonderful!
The shuttle bus service to and from Matsumoto station is so convenient for guests.
the duvets were nice and fluffy but kept sliding off the bed. I think bc of the duvet covers.

The room is spacious and the staff really trying their best to give good service and cater our requests despite the language barrier.
The room and Onsen have beautiful view.
The dinner and breakfast were delicious and have many options.
Our room is in the part of the wings which not renovated yet. Therefore the bathroom is pretty old.

amazing room with an onsen bath. great view of city. staff spoke Japanese as this is a ryokan. this hotel has really wonderful staff. we got our own dining private room for breakfast n dinner.
what impressed us most was on the 2nd night, our “butler” for dinner actually wrote out the kaiseki dinner in English notes and really spoke his best in English to introduce the menu to us. much kudos to his sincere efforts as my Japanese was rudimentary 😅 we really enjoyed our 2 nights stay.
nothing!
