Yumotoya
Food was excellent and staff were very friendly and helpful, although didn't speak much english. The only downside was the facility was a bit worn -stained carpets, peeling wallpaper, and musty smell

THE CELECTON Matsumoto
The room was lovely and more spacious than others we’ve stayed at. Staff was wonderful and the breakfast buffet had a nice variety of foods, Japanese curry, rice, scrambled eggs, sausage as well as croissants with butter and jam, pain au chocolat and the coffee was good 😊

Dormy Inn Matsumoto Natural Hot Spring
Below average by Dormy Inn's own standards. Great onsen as usual, but breakfast below par. The in-room motion-activated overhead light has to go!
