I stayed with my wife here for a nights in Aug. We stopped Asama-onsen before visiting Kamikochi national park. Takes 15 minutes by taxi from Matsumoto train station. Good location to take a rest with hot springs after 4 hours trip from Tokyo. The building was looked old but the traditional Japanese style room was amazing. Experiencing the tatami mats and futons was really fun. In the early evening we strolling around town in wearing Japanese traditional bathrobe called YUKATA(similar in style to kimono) and wooden sandals that definitely a unique experience. We enjoyed quick shopping at 24 hours open convenience store that located next door of this ryokan. There is a lounge on the lobby floor, providing free Wi-Fi so after take onsen baths we enjoyed beer from bending machine and exchanged sightseeing information with other tourists. We have got very delicious dinner and the most important thing is they offer the private spa on the top floor without extra charge! It is open 24 hours, no necessary to make a reservation. Don’t you think you feel hesitate to use public bathtub with another? Also, we ware not sure about tattoo policies at the ryokan so just to be safe we thought it would be nice to enjoy a private spa with beautiful mountains view. The ryokan staff was so nice and very friendly. It was a rain next morning they provide drive to the Matsumoto Castle for free. It was close to Matsumoto castle, (approximately 10 minutes ride). I would highly recommend this ryokan.

It was an unforgettable stay.

We have visited here several times in past and always great service. Rooms are spacious, and included dinner and breakfast are excellent.  Three onsens. 1 for men on 1st floor, 1 for women on 4th floor and private onsen on 6th floor. Great place. 

Great little getaway!

We chose Yumotoya because it was much less expensive than many other ryokan in the Matsumoto area and we were traveling on a budget.  So it didn't come as a big surprise that the building is a bit dated and could use a coat of paint and some new carpet.  Our room safe didn't work; neither did the fridge.  The air conditioner was adequate to cool the room we slept in, but didn't extend to the outer room or the bathroom.  The tea in the room was self-service, though the water in the carafe was fresh and hot.

That said, it was still a really nice experience.  The onsen are sparkling clean and the outside one offers a nice view over the city.  The staff speaks limited English, but they were helpful in trying to fix our room safe, helping tie my yukata, even escorting us to the bus stop in the morning.

The dinner was just wonderful.  In fact, that meal definitely brought my rating up to four stars.  Our server was delightful and each course was delicious.  Arrive at dinner hungry, because there were at least 10 courses (I lost count), including a lovely selection of tiny appetizers.  Breakfast was also generous and beautifully prepared.

Overall, it's not the height of luxury that you find at some ryokan, but the food was as good as any I've had in Japan.

A good choice for limited budgets

The food was good and the hot baths were surprisingly large. The location is not great if you are interested in sightseeing the city, but it's good for hiking or trips to the mountain.

The rooms were slightly old, but with standard japanese hospitality; exactly what you need.

Standard hotel in a suburban locale

If, like me, you travel so you can find yourself off the beaten track, then this is the ryokan for you. 3.3 kms from the centre of Matsumoto, this ryokan is best reached by bus or taxi. 

My wife and I were the only non-Japanese people staying here, which we also liked. We were given a room on the 6th floor, and had an onsen to ourselves. The onsen had a window spanning the entire room and we were able to sit and soak whilst taking in the views of the mountains. None of the staff can speak much English, but if you have basic Japanese you will get by. The staff were very friendly and made every attempt to make our stay enjoyable. We even made a mistake with our booking, originally booking four nights even though we planned to stay three. They accommodated this without charging us. Very kind, considering this was our mistake.

Only two qualms with this ryokan; firstly, we were told there were free bikes for hire, only to arrive and find that there are no bikes. This made the location more difficult than it would have been. The bus stop to Matsumoto station is right outside the front door, but only runs once and hour, and the return bus finishes pretty early in the evening. Secondly, we were under the impression that WiFi was available throughout, but it can only be accessed from the lobby. This was also a little inconvenient.

Overall, this accommodation allowed my wife and I to feel like we'd gotten off the beaten track and allowed us to get involved in the Japanese culture. Clean, but a tad outdated. Friendly and helpful staff. An enjoyable stay.
