The room was one of the most comfortable ones we stayed at this trip (3 weeks) and the hosts are so friendly! It's a family run ryokan and one can really feel at home here. We got many tips for exploring Matsumoto and the tickets for the castle with them and rented bikes from the hotel to explore around town. Their brekkie is delicious and Atsuko was super friendly and took us to the station when we checked out. Thank you so much for the lovely stay!

Very kind Owners, who have great tips about Matsumoto. The Onsen was lovely. The japanese and western breakfasts are both very tasty. I would definitely book again.

We loved our stay at Ryokan Seifuso - one of the best places we stayed during three weeks in Japan. Very comfortable Japenese style accomodation, with bikes to ride and a delicious breakfast. We also found our favourite restaurant of the trip nearby - a local ramen and fried chicken place - Kawashiyo.

The fact that the public bath & shower are closed after 11pm was a bit of a close call for me since there are no alternatives for taking a shower and I spent the evening in a different part of town..

This was a wonderful family run Ryokan. The staff were very warm and kind, gave good recommendations and offered bicycle rental to better navigate the city. The room was clean, comfy and welcoming. The public bath was excellent, designed very nicely and you can feel the good qualities of the bath. After checkout they even gave their visitors a lift to matsumoto station ! To summarize, best service quality and overall kindness that I've received in any hotel I've been to (Japan or elsewhere), facilities are clean and the room is cozy.

Nothing. We enjoyed everything about our stay.

We loved staying at this place. It is family run and you feel right at home the moment you arrive The service was excellent - very personal - and it has everything you require for a comfortable stay. The breakfast that was served was exceptional, and delivered with such attention and care. There was alot of space for use outside your room, including access to the onsen facilities. The extra touches - including a ride to the train station - made the whole experience wonderful.

The owners were so lovely and kind. They helped us with tickets and what to do in the area, and how to get around. Our host even gave us a lift to the station free of charge. So kind.

The stay was great, we have stayed only one night ... unfortunetely it was not possible to extend due to our tight schedule, the staff is super friendly and help us with everything we needed. The ryokan is exceptional, we had a private one as there were no other guest at that time and trust me, you do not know you want to have ryokan in your accomodation until you have experienced it. Having the option to chill in the bath after long hiking day is priceless. Ps.: the location is not close to the citycentre but you can get there easily .. we took bus 120 from main bus station.

Very nice owners, very attentive. We were permitted to have the large bath to ourselves as there was no other guests needed it. We enjoyed electric bicycles for the afternoon at a small cost, 300 yens. Restaurants nearby.

The most relaxing stay, the owners are such kind people, warm and welcoming. Very comfortable room, calm and beautiful Ryokan. The bath is great, clean and relaxing. The breakfast is delicious. About 25 min walk to the city center but totally doable, otherwise bikes are available and buses are a good option too!

We’ve been staying at Seifuso for over 15 years. Fabulous hosts and excellent location. Their breakfast is something my children talk about and dream about. Highly recommended!

Normally I don’t write reviews but I couldn’t let this one pass. The hosts were so nice!! The wife was so polite, helpfull and enthousiastic. She told us a lot about the city and our hike. The husband was very enthousiastic about his kaki and freshly picked mountain mushrooms that they prepared for our breakfast. We could use the bikes for free. The rooms were very clean and beds super comfortable

The home made breakfast was a definite highlight! Made with so much love and attention to detail. The bath was also very clean and nice, and the beds were comfortable. Matsumoto isn’t very big, so theres nothing to complain about the location of the ryokan. Great value for money.

Breakfast wasn't provided during our stay which was a shame. The location is a little way out of town, but bus and bicycle are excellent options

A lovely place to stay and the husband and wife who own and run this ryokan are lovely. The rooms were very comfortable and warm. We enjoyed the onsite bath and the option to use the bicycles to easily get into Matsumoto town
