"The hotel delivered exactly what we were seeking: top end but traditional experience of J. Alps, with gorgeous natural spring baths. Way more than expected, the Kaiseki dinners were outstanding, and staff went over and above to help (we even needed an MD). I would very highly recommend this onsen inn."

"Richmond Matsumoto is good value for money. It is just 5 mins walk to the train and bus stations, modern and clean, and walking distance to Nawate and the castle. My only gripe is the breakfast, which is delicious but unchanging. I visit Matsumoto yearly, and hope they switch up the offerings to make it more interesting for guests who stay a few nights."
