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 hotel is very near to Matsumoto Castle and was quiet and peaceful. The public bath is small but sufficient. The decor can feel a little dim in the rooms but otherwise everything was clean, and staff were attentive.

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!
