Ryotei Matsuya Honkan Suizenji

Thank you for a wonderful stay in such a special space and time. We were able to relax in both the Room and the bath. The refined atmosphere, with seasonal flowers beautifully arranged, was lovely. We did not make a Reservation for dinner, but enjoyed delicious local dishes à la carte at the annex.

Guest Room: I stayed in the smallest single room, but it has been nicely renovated and is very clean. Staff & Service: Perfect. It compares favorably even with luxury Hotels in central Tokyo. Baths: It doesn’t seem to be an Onsen, which was a bit disappointing (it probably doesn’t spring from underground). That said, I was able to enjoy three baths in total—the private bath and the spa in the annex. Each had its own features, such as microbubbles and groundwater, which made it fun. Facility & Amenities: Well maintained and doesn’t feel old at all. One thing only: I noticed an odor around the plumbing area, likely from the drainage system. Meals: I booked a No Meals Included Plan, but had a set meal at “Soro” in the annex. The flounder sashimi was firm and delicious. On the other hand, there were quite a few dumpling-style items and it felt a bit heavy, so I think a more balanced menu would be even better. Overall Satisfaction: It was plum blossom season, and the fresh flowers displayed inside were lovely. I really enjoyed having a drink or two in the lounge and being able to visit Seikuen Garden whenever I wanted—overall, I was extremely satisfied.
