Guest House Raicho offers accommodation in Norikura Kogen in Chubu Sangaku National Park. Mt. Norikura Ski Resort is a 3-minute drive away, and pick-up service to and from the resort is provided every morning. Free WiFi and free parking is available on site. Guests can also enjoy bathing in the sulfur hot-spring, which makes use of pure spring water. Towels and toothbrush are provided at a fee.

Where do I start? I loved everything about the property. The staff are friendly and welcoming. It is walking distance from the bus stop. We arrived when it was dark and Takuro the guesthouse manager was very kind to be waiting to collect us. The room we stayed in was beautiful. The bed was comfortable and cosy. All the detail in the accommodation was thoughtfully curated. From the texture on the walls, to paintings, furniture and more. There are two cozy communal spaces with fireplaces and a communal kitchen. I had read reviews before arriving that food was difficult but the staff have put together a pantry of easy meals you can purchase. Or I’d recommend bringing food with you to cook. Waste management is taken very seriously with a philosophy of a circular economy. The price was very reasonable especially because we could access the onsen pools. We went in autumn and the weather was perfect. Hiking through the colouring leaves was magical. We only stayed 2 nights and wish we stayed more. If you like nature, stay more than 2 nights.

Hostel みんか松本, a property with a garden, is situated in Matsumoto, 3.7 km from The Japan Ukiyo-e Museum, 29 km from Canora Hall, as well as 700 metres from Matsumoto Castle. It is located 1.1 km from Matsumoto Station and features a shared kitchen. The guest house provides rooms with air conditioning, free private parking and free WiFi.

I like that the host and staff are very accommodating even before we reach the property. There was even a personalized note welcoming us. It was nice to have a feel of a traditional Japanese house instead of the Western hotels. Plus, Matsumoto Castle grounds was literally just a minute walk away. The Metoba river was also within walking distance, so we enjoyed our hanami there on a quiet weekday morning before we left Matsumoto.

    Best bunk beds, matresses and (supersoft) bedsheets I've had during my entire stay in Japan. Very comfortable, large beds and the indoor air climate of the dorms is well controlled. Bathrooms are clean and common kitchen is well equipped. Location is perfect, close to main attractions and still only 15 mins walking from the train station (but Matsumoto is not that big anyway). The street is a pedestrian little shopping street, so very quiet at night as well. I loved my stay and would recommend this hostel to anyone going to Matsumoto.

    A fantastic hostel - easily one of the best I've ever stayed in. The staff are so lovely and helpful, and the facilities are great. Everything is clean and comfortable. The hostel is also very quiet at night - I've never slept as well at a hostel as I did here. I can't fault anything, everything was amazing!

    The house was nice and it was sparkling clean. It had everything you would need in a house, fully equiped kitchen. Our host was very good in giving us instructions and information. I would definetly recommend this place. It is also within walking distance from the city centre, about 10 mins. It has a shopping mall 2 mins away and the station - 20 mins.

    Such a nice place, we really wish we could have stayed longer! The host had thought of so many things to make our stay comfortable, from the facilities they provided to the friendly notes explaining everything - especially important for those of different cultures like us! Great location and quiet - a dream. :)

    Very friendly hostel, in a great location not too far from Matsumoto castle. Rooms are Japanese style, with lots of space in the dorms. I had a large suitcase with me and there was plenty of storage space for it beside my futon! Lovely staff as well, great vibe in the hostel overall.

    The hostel is in a great location and so quiet. The staff are really helpful, but best of all you could feel the history of the place. We are a family of four (two boys aged 13 & 11) and all thought it was the best hostel we’ve stayed at - friendlier, more fun and better than many hotels. Would stay there happily again.

    Amazing hostel housed in building with a very traditional look, at a great location near the city centre. Bed was spacious and very comfy, toilets and bathrooms were always available and clean. Staff was very kind and helpful to point to good restaurants, bathhouses and things to see in the area. I also loved being able to take a bike to explore the area.
