Jizokan Matsuya Ryokan

Great

松屋旅館位於善光寺仁王門內，地理位置極佳，走幾步就到善光寺。旅館門頭不大，但裏面卻別有洞天，非常進深和開闊。我們住的房間是一半和式、一半西式，推開窗户便是地藏王菩薩雕像和沿街街景。旅館內擁有泡湯的湯池與和式餐廳，餐食非常精美可口吃到撐。老闆娘待客和氣，服務員彬彬有禮，非常舒適愜意。據介紹這家傳統客棧已有鈴木家族經營了六代，非常具有歷史感，去日本旅遊應該住在這種傳統旅館裏體驗一下，雖然價格有點貴，但確實是物有所值。

We had an amazing ryokan experience at Matsuya. We stayed in a traditional japanese room and couldn't have asked for anything more right from the minute we stepped into the ryokan. After being greeted warmly we were taken for a tour of the ryokan, which was definitely necessary as there are quite a few stairs and halls and our room was at the back of the ryokan. We had booked a traditional japanese room and it was wonderful. Windows all around the room overlooking beautiful trees in neighbouring yards. We also had a functional, small bathroom a tv and wifi. There was hot tea waiting for us upon arrival and when we got back from dinner our room had been rearranged into it's sleeping formation with sleeping pads and blankets on the tatami mats. The food at the ryokan was extremely comprehensive for both dinner and breakfast (both very traditional japanese menus). Plus they had an onsen that we enjoyed (separate for males and females). Definitely recommend staying here and enjoying the full package by getting your meals included. I booked through japanican website.

Great location. Friendly owners. Comfortable room and plentiful breakfast. Located on main street leading to temple and inside Niomon gate. Less than 5 minutes walk to Hondo with plenty of shops outside the door. Approximately 1 mile to Nagano main station and a few minutes to a smaller station.

Lovely traditional family run ryokan in a great location. Delicious traditional breakfast was included and we enjoyed the location near the temple and many nice shops. Two people in our group are vegetarian and they kindly adjusted the traditional breakfast accordingly.

Our first experience in a ryokan so we had no idea what to expect. The staff were very friendly and answered any queries we had. We were travelling with another couple and we opted for the deluxe room with tatami area but requested western beds as opposed to futons. They were quite hard but that seemed to be the case in all the other places we stayed too so maybe that’s the norm. The bedroom and tatami room were as warm or cool as you decided but the hallway, toilet and shower/wet room had no heating so were pretty chilly. The western rooms, where our friends were, were all warm as recently completed. We opted for both breakfast and dinner for the 3 nights as we weren’t sure what would be in the area. Both meals start and finish early but we had plans for each day so this wasn’t an issue. The food was excellent and plentiful and the serving staff were lovely.
