追分屋旅館(Oiwakeya Ryokan)

場所は簡単に見つかります。伝統的な和風旅館です。ほとんどの標識や説明書は日本語ですが、サービススタッフは時間をかけて英語で利用可能な設備やアメニティを見せて説明してくれました。サービススタッフも時間をかけて料理の説明をしてくれて、とても美味しかったです。また旅館に宿泊することを検討したいと思います。

This ryokan was a surprising discovery. It's 3-star rating did not reflect the outstanding value it delivered. The Oiwakeya is a spotlessly clean and has an enduring aesthetic that fully conveys the ryokan experience (tatami lined rooms; comfortable futons; shoji screens; exceptional and visually stunning dinners and breakfasts; an invigorating onsen (hot spring pool) ; and much more). Most importantly, the staff, without exception, were extremely courteous, helpful, patient and many of them communicated effectively in English. The ryokan is located on the outskirts of Matsumoto . . . a short 15 min bus ride (the nearest stop was an easy one minute walk). It was situated in a quiet neighborhood. Already missing it . . . and would definitely want to come back !

Beautiful, traditional Japanese ryokan (inn) with friendly, helpful staff. Some speak English well. Breakfast and dinner is included in the plan. The food is exquisitely presented and so many dishes--too many really. Comfortable bedding--futons laid out on the tatami mats. Lovely gardens and perfect hot spring baths-- plus a hot spring foot bath for tired or cold feet! This inn is not in the center of Matsumoto but an easy and short bus (or taxi) ride away. Highly recommended!
