Hotels near Lara Matsumoto, Matsumoto

Really great for solo travellors from tokyo. U can shuttle bus from Matsumoto which is a train away from shinjuku station at 2.45pm (easy reservation over email). There is shuttle bus as well to kamikochi at 8am and 9am (reserve at hotel). The 8am bus will be sufficient time to explore the major sceneries at kamikochi if you walk fast and the hotel will bring your luggage to the shuttle bus if you reserve a seat for the 12.20pm bus from kamikochi bus terminal.

I am a solo traveler who stayed in the room with private open bath. I enjoyed my 2 nights stay. Hotel looks tired and old but it was all good . Btw, you have to use a key to open the door not access card. I paid for my room with breakfast and dinner. I have a private dining space in a restaurant which I like it. Skip all queue and I dine at the same place for all meals. Dinner was great. Breakfast spread was wonderful too. I tried the one hour jap massage and it was so good. There isn’t anyone who can really speak English. The guests are mainly locals. There is free shuttle to check in and check out. Overall I give 9/10!!

Fukashiso could be one of the loveliest accommodation that I have ever stayed at. The staff were very polite, attentive and extremely helpful and courteous. The place itself is so beautiful and quaint. Traditional garments are provided as an option if you want to dress up for dinner. Made for great photo ops! The Kaiseki was the most beautiful equivalent of a degustation I’ve tried, and it was served in a lovely separate intimate dining area. During dinner Nobu-San a fourth generation family member of the owners greeted us which was a lovely touch. Soba was freshly made at the accomodation. We stayed two nights and the Kaiseki menu was different each time. Breakfast was a nice assortment of Japanese and Western options and the coffee machine was actually pretty good. I enjoyed the onsens, there are two public ones that switch locations for men and women and a private one. They were well equipped and relaxing. Our room was on Level 1 with a private bathroom, seating area and little garden view. Overall this place is highly recommended. For a traditional ryokan experience, it was so nice. Even after we checked out, the receptionist gave us a little gift, and even walked us outside to where our car was parked. Such a warm and lovely place. Stay here for sure!

I have nothing to say but it was all worth it. The location, amenities, and staff were all top-notch. I'll definitely stay here again if I get a chance to visit this charming city.

Great location next to Alpico bus station and only 5 mins walk from JR station! Staffs are really nice with amazing service mind. The room is nice and clean! Had a good experience staying there and would like to recommend it for anyone visiting Matsumoto!

Buena Vista was perfect from the moment we walked to the entrance. A very friendly, smartly dressed member of staff greeted us and took us to the check in desk which is in a lovely vibrant reception area. We had quite a small room with no shelves but it was comfortable and had an excellent shower. The breakfasts were in a fairly small area, which makes it feel a little crowded, but we always got a table and the food was varied. We tried the buffet one night which had nice food but it was warm rather than hot. We then tried the Chinese restaurant which was excellent - quality food, served by friendly staff for reasonable prices. This hotel is in a great location as it’s only a few minutes from the station. The staff were all excellent - professional and friendly.

GOOD location ,good service for all. BREAKFAST IS NICE. I feel comfortable to stay and travel near bt this hotel .

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at this resort. From the moment I arrived, the staff greeted me with genuine warmth and professionalism, making me feel instantly at home. The property itself is beautifully maintained, with stunning views and thoughtful touches that create a relaxing atmosphere. Every detail—from the comfortable rooms to the delicious dining options—was carefully curated to ensure a memorable experience. I was especially impressed by how impeccably clean everything was, including the public bathrooms and hot spring area. The staff cleaned up immediately after use, which made the whole environment feel fresh and cared for. I truly appreciate the team’s dedication to hospitality and excellence, and I would highly recommend this resort to anyone looking for a perfect getaway. We are deeply grateful for the extraordinary care shown by the hotel assistant Akemi during our stay. When we were unexpectedly stuck in the snow in a remote area, she walked alone to find us and kindly offered assistance to call for tow truck support. She then guided us safely back to the hotel, even though we had already checked out, and welcomed us with tea and biscuits to keep us warm while we waited. Her thoughtfulness and dedication went far beyond duty, and her kindness turned a stressful situation into a touching memory. Thank you sincerely for such genuine hospitality—it is something we will never forget.

The hotel is located about 3 minutes away from Matsumoto Station, and around the hotel there is a 7-Eleven and several shops all within 1 to 3 minutes walking distance. Breakfast was included in the price, and for us, it was one of the nicest breakfasts we had in a hotel in Japan. The reason for this was not only the quality of the food, but also the variety. For Muslims and vegans, there were many options, while in other places the choices can be very limited. The hotel was clean, the amenities were perfect, and the coin laundry room was excellent. The washing machine cleaned all our clothes and dried them within a reasonable amount of time. The hotel room, although small, was good enough to accommodate two people with two large suitcases, and we had no issues at all. A big plus for the hotel is that they have a smart TV, which is not something you get in every hotel in Japan. A final note about the staff, especially the young gentleman (around his 30s) and the young woman (also around her 30s) working at the reception. Both of them were incredibly friendly, warm, and helpful, and often went the extra mile even when I only asked a simple question. The lady working at the breakfast buffet was also very sweet and kind. Please make sure to keep these people working for the hotel, and give them the praise they deserve for their outstanding work. I will definitely want to come back to this hotel if I return to Matsumoto!

Very friendly hosts, the room is awesome. Meals are delicious. Recommend everyone to go there.
