"Convenient location just 8mns from the train station. We also found good restaurants just minutes away and the Matsumoto castle is close by as well as the YAYOI KUSAMA Museum. Rooms are on the small side and plastic shower cabin adjacent to the toilet are not typically associated with hotels in this price range. Breakfast had a good array of Japanese food choices and some western options too. Staff is very friednly an helpful. Onsen is quite nice with a hot bath inside and another outside. There is a cold pool and a sauna."

"Booked very last minute and paid more than i planned but it was actually worth it. Its a traditional Japanese style hotel. Slippers / socks only once arrive. Free ramen at night and soft drinks. Rooms are exceptionally well equipped with no noise disturbance. Staff very helpful and welcoming and only 5mins walk from station and a wide variety of restaurants. Didnt use the pool or breakfast but both seemed very popular. And you get traditional pj’s to wear whilst in public areas and your room"

Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Sawando?
The best area to stay in Sawando is near the Sawando Bus Terminal, which acts as the gateway to the Kamikochi area.This compact area is the main hub for visitors, particularly for those planning to explore the stunning Japanese Alps. It's essentially a small cluster of hotels and inns located directly adjacent to or a short walk from the bus terminal. You'll find a few local eateries and convenience stores here, making it practical for last-minute supplies. The primary feature is its direct connection to the shuttle buses heading into Kamikochi, making early morning departures incredibly convenient.Travellers focused on hiking and outdoor adventures will find this area exceptionally convenient. Staying here means you can easily catch the first buses to Kamikochi in the morning, giving you a head start on the trails and allowing you to maximise your time in the mountains. It removes the stress of long commutes before or after a demanding hike.For those seeking a more traditional Japanese experience, some inns in the Sawando area offer onsen (hot spring) baths.
When is the best time to go to Sawando?

It's an ideal time for outdoor activities, with mountain flowers beginning to bloom.Couples often find September and October particularly appealing.

The cooler, crisp air is superb for enjoying the hot springs Sawando is known for, providing a relaxing end to a day of exploration.
