Myojinkan

We really enjoyed everything and especially appreciated the attention to gluten free diet for one of our group, and vegetarian for another!

The staff, service, facilities, and room were top notch. Once our stay was booked, we received an email questionnaire. We are both vegan and they accommodated our preference. asking for our preferences. You can select between Japanese and French cuisine. We both opted for Japanese. When we arrived, they staff greeted us kindly and it was a delightful surprise to be led into a room filled with Christmas decorations. We booked the "Standard Zen Suite" and were not disappointed. It comes with your own private indoor-outdoor onsen. It was heaven. If you are new to onsen, they also provide helpful instructions upon arrival that you can read. It was my absolute favorite onsen experience. There are three different onsens for guests, each separated by gender. They also provide popsicles, hot/cold tea, in addition to the standard shampoo, conditioner, body wash, hair tonic, skin lotion etc. When we were there they had two shuttles which ran from Matsumoto Station to pick you up. One at 3:15 pm and another at 4:30 pm. We would both love to return!

This was a gorgeous property with incredibly top notch luxury service. The Zen Suite is designed beautifully in a "Japandi" aesthetic that is exceptional. That suit also has its own private indoor-outdoor onsen, though the other onsens on the property were also beautiful indoor-outdoor onsens where we could feel the winter air as we soaked in the hot water. The dining was impeccable and they had amazing vegan Kaiseki courses. In addition, the lounge area was gorgeously decorated in Christmas tinsel and birch that made it feel like the most festive atmosphere. Everywhere the property felt like it blurred the indoors and outdoors while retaining a sense of warmth. This is not a cheap property, but it is actually good value for the price.
