Great location very close to Zenkoji Temple - this place is within the temple area and was even the Zenkoji Main Hall in the past. We had the dinner one night, which was an impressive feast! But maybe a bit much for my kids. ##### Chris Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Andrew Apr 11, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Very comfortable solo trip Had an incredibly nice stay here, from the friendly staff to the perfectly clean room, and delicious breakfast. You get tea and different snacks each day in your room, so if you're the type to want to take it easy inside sometimes on your trip, it's very nice to have some quiet time in your room and sip on tea and try the different local sweets they give you each day. ##### Andrew Stayed 4 nights in Apr 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Qi'En Jul 24, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Very authentic Japanese ryokan experience, authentic and delicious Japanese set meal breakfast, very lovely staff, and great English-speaking staff too, convenient location as it is close to Zenkoji temple and surrounding beautiful areas, also close to the bus-stop where you take the bus to other places such as Togakushi shrine or to Nagano station for the Shinkansen. Price was very reasonable for a ryokan in comparison to other places. Will definitely stay here again if I come back to Nagano (which I think I will as I loved Nagano) and if the price remains good! ##### Qi'En Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jason Jun 20, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities #### Excellent traditional ryokan Japanese Inn Fantastic traditional ryokan experience. Lovely friendly staff with good English. Breakfasts and dinner were excellent and different each day. It is an old inn, the bathrooms are small and you’re sleeping on foutons on the floor, so you must accept that’s part of the experience. But everything else is great and the location is absolutely superb, right on the steps leading to the gate and temple. Beautiful, peaceful area at night. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/2442558D7CB33FAAAB5AA98B2F2BCB3AE7BA05491718869692519.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/0D687E199B7D421B69659BBB46A40DC05C6B29551718869687958.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/CB7DB2FD9ECE60AD2F5DE84FF14C281A7217BA7E1718869690305.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/2A1F9BB34E69FF4CDF5577DBF40D141A43B6DD551718869691861.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Jason Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kara Sep 29, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities This is such a beautiful historic property.

We stayed here with our two boys. The baths were really lovely. The staff was incredibly sweet. It was literally steps from the Zenkoji Temple, which was amazing to visit. It's on the street with tons of shops and restaurants. We regret not reserving dinner with them the night we were there, especially since restaurants close very early in the evening. ##### Samantha ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ilidia Oct 4, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### The Real Japanese Experience I just loved the Matsuya Ryokan. It’s run by a lovely couple that were so welcoming and warm to us all the time. The room was spacious, very clean and it gave us the full experience of Japanese living. The dos was small but enough to live the onsen experience too. There was a good coffee machine next to the reception where we had the best coffee in Japan so far. The Expresso that we are so used to in our country. The Ryokan is in the nicest area of Nagano, with all its lovely shops and at a 2 minute walk to the main temple. It was a lovely experience that I would recommend to other travellers. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/4EAD4A7DD914A5E099148FE35FB37EB998BF98401728023508825.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/30BF4E5D8318EAFA41FB110FA1F0B7357953230F1728023506201.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/7C5C0922B67FBD0ACB69AEAEBF909BF7483185421728023509882.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/175E1AD8430C2551E26B54345F419F25D28C22AA1728023500253.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Ilidia Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Isabelle Nov 27, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities We thought this ryokan was amazing! The location is perfect, in the center of old Nagano and a few minutes walk from the temple (convenient to attend the early morning prayer). The staff was amazingly friendly and helpful. The Japanese breakfast was phenomenal; we didn't try the dinner as we asked for it too late. Note that you need to give the hotel a few days advance notice for meals; they didn't ask us proactively if we were interested in them. The staff was able to recommend other local restaurants for dinner, which was great too. Overall, we loved our stay and wish we could have stayed longer. ##### Isabelle Stayed 1 night in Nov 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Abey Matthew Varughese Mar 5, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Situated right next to the Zenkōji temple. Up a slope so if you’re coming with heavy luggage, I would recommend the bus or taxi from Nagano station. Has a nice traditional breakfast option. There is a dinner option too but you’ll need to reserve one day in advance, or at the very least, in the morning at breakfast time. There is a public bath within the building itself but it’s pretty small, however given that it’s a small guest house I don’t think it will matter. You would probably be able to use it whenever you want to. The rooms are cozy and very well appointed. Futon bed is laid out for you, and is taken away when you step down for breakfast so be mindful of that. ##### Abey Matthew Varughese Stayed 1 night in Feb 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Christy Jan 10, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Stayed over the new year season and loved every bit of the ryokan and its surrounding area festivities. Room was spacious for 4, although it was abit difficult to open our 2 large luggages. Onsen was a bit small, just nice for 2-3 persons. Service was amazing and food served for dinner and breakfast was wonderful. Amazing for the price point. The surrounding area is right next to the main temple so the location was really convenient in terms of sightseeing and local delicacies. As we stayed over the festive period, the main bus route was closed. We had to take a much longer route upslope with our luggages, so be sure to check before hand! Overall, i really reccomend anyone who’s looking to stay at a ryokan for good food and a would want to immerse in the local culture. 11/10! ##### Christy ### 10/10 Excellent #### Yuri Jul 14, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities 善光寺の中にあるくらいです。 凄い観光に最適です。 0歳児、3歳児の子連れでしたが、スタッフさんが親切で問題なかったです。 駐車場の場所が宿まで歩いて1〜2分です、分かりづらいですが、電話すると来てくださり教えてくれました。 ##### Yuri Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Géraldine Jul 4, 2025 ##### Géraldine Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Aida May 14, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Amazing location with great hospitality.
