This charming Ryokan is located in a suburban setting around 10 mins by car from the main station. Considering the location we were a little uncertain but with the free bikes provided and the excellent hand drawn map provided we were extremely happy with the location. The hand drawn maps are an excellent idea and we wish every BnB would... More

A great family run Ryokan. Everything you need it to be. This establishment is clean, comfortable and very affordable. I could find no reason to gripe about this place at all. Its well located within shot of the central area of Matsumoto wether by bike (10 mins) or by taxi (5 mins), also its close to some very famous Onsen... More

We had an excellent stay at Ryokan Seifuso, and Matsumoto is a lovely friendly city to explore. Our room was spacious with comfortable bedding, and took full advantage of the absolutely delicious Japanese breakfast on both days we stayed - there was so much food it took a good half an hour for us to finish it! So fresh and... More

The best about this place is the very welcoming family who run it, especially the daughter who speaks fluent English and is exceptionnally helpful. The father dropped me at the train station at 6:30 am on a snowy day, which I also appreciated! The building feels more like a family hotel than a traditional ryokan, but it is perfectly kept...

It is true, the location of this guesthouse is not perfect. It is located ouside Matsumoto at around 30 mins walking from the castle and 45 mins from the station BUT there's also the positive point it is nicely located next to the river and they come and get you from the station when you arrive and drop you off...

Really enjoyed our stay at this ryokan. Pick up and drop off from station were ideal, use of bikes made visiting town very easy. Maps of restaurants ensured fights were kept at bay when the tiredness and hunger began to kick in! Tasty breakfast and private time in the baths were enjoyed also. Would highly recommend to all

I booked this inn on the basis of trip advisor reviews. I was quite satisfied on most aspects of the inn. The hostess was very attentive and thoughtful - her welcoming notice, the pick up and drop off from/at the station, the elegantly furnished rooms, the restaurant guide, and the provision of bicycles. The onsen was small but clean and... More

We stayed as a family of four (children are both in their 20's) for one night in December 2012. We all loved it. The owners just could not do enough to help us and were so friendly. Accommodation is exactly what we expected. Basic, but clean and tidy. Take a cycle ride into the town centre. Great fun on easy... More

This was the third Ryokan we stayed at during our Japan holiday. The location is a long way out of central Matsumoto. We were greeted by friendly staff and shown our room in the 'annexe' which had a kitchen we could use if we wanted to. We only stayed one night and therefore didnt really use all the facilities including... More
