Matsumoto Jujo

Great stay in Matsumoto, Nagano. Even before check in they offer us a glass of champaigne or a cup of coffee with traditional Nagano oyaki at cafe. The room we stayed was standard twin bed room which was nice and cozy comes with private hotspring at balcony. Free snacks and ice candies available as well. The iconic library was amazingly photogenic. 17-22pm free drinks were set up at the lirary. Every food at restaurant was also scrumptious. We could feel the chef cherishes ingredients very carefully. Staff members are all very kind and well trained. We sincerely enjoyed our stay at Matsumoto jujo, strongly recommend to visit here if you have a chance to go to Matsumoto.

The oyaki served after check-in was absolutely delicious. The staff's warm welcome was very much appreciated. The room I stayed in had an outdoor bath, and the cypress bath was wonderful. The view of the mountains from the window was breathtaking. For dinner, the main dishes featured vegetables grown in Nagano, all of which were delicious. The portion sizes were just right—not too much, not too little. For breakfast, I had miso granola. The combination was surprisingly good, and I even bought some as a souvenir. An especially unique touch was the library, which had been converted from an old bathhouse. It created a fascinating and distinctive space that I truly enjoyed. Overall, it was a very satisfying stay.

The hotel is generous. It is all-out in providing the best hospitality to its guests. The staffs were so attentive to the guests and would go out of their way to assist us which made us feel so pampered. The onsen in the room was very nice with the right temperature which made us soak there 5 times in just a span of 2 days. It felt so indulgent to have such easy access to the onsen. The food was also 5-star quality. From the presentation to the taste, the restaurant did not fail to deliver. It was my first time to eat venison meat and though I thought it would be hard and *****, it was in fact very tender and delicious. The overall design of the hotel was also very relaxing. The lighting and choice of furniture elevated the hotel's aesthetic. However, the part that moved me the most was the library. It was a public bath that turned into a library which made it look so unique and beautiful. There was a good collection of books and the relaxing space just made me want to stay there and read books all day. Overall, the hotel experience was luxury at its finest without making us feel intimidated.

Staying here was the highlight of our recent trip to Japan. We stayed in a one room terrace suite with open-air bath in the Koyanagi building. The room was beautiful, spacious, light and airy, with a terrace overlooking the hills. The building is recently renovated and is historical, having been a bath house for lower class samurai centuries ago. There is a wooden Japanese bath kept filled with warm water from the nearby onsen, that we used multiple times a day. There are only two suites on this floor, so the room is very quiet and private. The king size bed was very comfortable. There is a small fridge and coffee and a free bottle of sake was provided. On the ground floor there is a small shop making and selling delicious croissants and other baked goods. The staff are extremely friendly and helpful, and most speak some English. The hotel is close to the edge of Asama Onsen, which is an outlying suburb of Matsumoto. A taxi from Matsumoto station costs between 2,000 and 3,000 yen. We had one meal in the hotel: the food was delicious. I dream of returning.

Oyaki and Coffee it's the name of the beautiful building that me and my friend already amazed by the wonderful architect design at the first place. I did not expect that this own building using as Matsumoto Jujo Hotel Reception, which made me more amazed and love at the first sight with this place! In here we do check in, and the staff served welcome drink and snack. I choose ice hojicha and also vegetable oyaki as the welcome starter. I do love the hojicha because smells so good and light and the oyaki is the best oyaki I ever had so wonderful. The hotel staff also very kind and friendly and fluent speaking in English which made me life easier to understand everything and communicate well each other. The staff also given us several brochures and explain it one by one in details about the hotel and the facilities that they have. I do love this building so much that's why I took a lot of picture for those who likes design interior this cafe it's a must to visit! We just leave our luggage there and while waiting for the check in time we can stay there while enjoying the cafe atmosphere or we can just simply moving around the hotel area because it's so pretty too. Don't worry about your luggage they will help you and bring it to the hotel room straight away and they do have shuttle to drop you to the hotel from the reception. What a wonderful cafe indeed and I also attached after checked out I came back here just to buy their Oyaki and Hojicha to bring back home - yes I do love and recommend this place so much and worth the money!!

Amazing hotel hidden in a traditional Japanese hot spring town. Private onsen bathtub available in the room too. Amazing food and beverage sourced locally. Enough English book collection for you to kill the day in the hotel. Definitely drop by here for a day before the long ride to Takayama and Shirakawago.
