Excellent stay with exceptional service from the staff! Both the dinner and breakfast were plentiful with great variety of dishes served. Looking forward to coming back in the future.

This very new seeming property was excellent and I'd certainly choose it again for another stay at Besshoonsen. Room was and clean relatively spacious, the three private spas worked well (although the hotel was not full when I stayed). Meals were delicious, dinner and breakfast, and sensible quantities. If you're thinking of an overnight here a) you should come - it is a lovely old town and b) this place has your back for a bit of onsen magic while you are here.

This was our first trip to Japan and our first time staying in a traditional Japanese Ryokan. We will be back. Loved it. It's family-owned - Toshi and his family were very welcoming, spoke good English, had loads of local knowledge to help us out and had traditional breakfasts and dinners on offer (cooked by Toshi's mother, who comes out and greets everyone at meal time - FYI: you need to book the day before for dinners). We were warm, comfortable (futons were fairly firm but we slept...

We felt like part of a welcoming family!!! The staff were beautiful especially the lovely lady in gift shop who showed us how to make paper cranes!!! Food was sensational and the onsens were beautiful. Such a special location deep in the mountains and away from hustle and bustle Highly recommended for a restful break

This was easily our favourite place we stayed on our Japan trip - the hotel is a traditional Tatami mat style hotel where you sleep on mats and the flooring is reeds. It's in the centre of the Shibu village and all 9 of the public hot spring baths are within walking distance. There is a photo in their reception of the family that started the hotel and the great grandson of the founder and his mother still work there today. They have a bus that drove us around, the picked and dropped us off at...

Although theres no restaurant in the hotel, you can order some frozen stuffs that u can heat in the kitchen which i initially was not excited about. But actually this is rhe first time i enjoyed a frozen pizza which i heated in the mini toaster. It was soo good. From the menu i think the pizza was made in collaboration with a japanese chef

amazing experience with top notch service and ryokan room, with many fun amenities provided at venue excellent staff who tended to requests as best they could.

Loved our stay. Courteous and polite staff. Great favorites. Very clean. Nice big rooms with awesome private and public onsen options. Breakfast was wow! Complimentary shuttle bus, ice cream machine and tea in lobby, location up in quiet hills…10/10!

Our stay here was immersive and amazing. Every detail was thought of to create and easy and wonderful stay. Loved the pick up from the train station, welcome drink on arrival, dinner and the view from our room!

Our stay here in March 2025 was wonderful. The staff could not have been more friendly or helpful, even picked us up from the station without prior arrangement! The food was incredible, traditional Japanese breakfast that set us up for the day and a delicious dinner which when combined with the sake and very comfortable futons ensured a great night’s sleep. Took advantage of the private Onsen which was very relaxing. However with so many public Onsen (including at the hotel) it was a bit of an...

Very relaxing location. Private onsen was a really nice addition.

Great experience, beautiful old building and incredibly friendly and helpful staff. Perfectly located on Nakamachi-dori and close to all attractions, including Matsumoto Castle, and plenty of amazing food nearby. A memorable and unique, but all too brief stay, definitely one of the hilights of my time in Matsumoto.

Hugely welcoming when you arrive. The staff are lovely and the hotel is spotless. We had breakfast (Japanese both days) and a dinner here, which was all superb. The hot bath is really well set up too. Hotel is between the station and old town, so a perfect location.

Family of 5, booked 2 rooms with ensuites. Everything was great from the amenities to the food and helpful staff. The Ryokan is around a 300-500m walk from the ski lifts however they offer a shuttle service every morning. You can also reserve the shuttle at other times to head out to restaurants etc.

The whole stay was a great experience. The staff were amazingly helpful. We needed to be picked up from the station and they came. I needed a PowerPoint adapter abd tgey were able to loan me one. We needed to get back to the station earlier than their set time abd tgey accommodated us. Well done guys, it was great.
