Kikyotei Yumotoya

I stayed here on a trip to Shinshu. The Facilities and interior feel a bit dated, but the Onsen was clean, as if it had been renovated. The meals were very generous, and I was extremely satisfied. The older staff member who served our meal made us feel at home, and I was happy that they even saw us off.\n\nAccommodation rates in central Matsumoto are high due to inbound tourism, so I appreciated that this Accommodation is about a 15-minute drive to Matsumoto Castle and also has an Onsen.\n\nOne minor point not related to the Hotel: the Onsen town feels old, and it was disappointing that there wasn’t much to do after check-in.

Although the exterior feels a bit dated, the front desk, common hall, and Rooms are all well maintained and clean. It’s a traditional Onsen Accommodation, which makes it very relaxing. There are large public baths on the 1st and 4th floors; the water is on the hotter side, but they were excellent. However, it was very disappointing that the open-air bath was not available.The meals were simply delicious and very filling—I couldn’t finish everything.I think it would be even better with a little more attention to the exterior.
