This Onsen Ryokan was a blissful relief after a few days in Tokyo. The room was enormous with an entry hallway, huge sleeping/living room and separate huge bathroom. The room had a big window and view, a kettle, fridge, tv, Pjs and all amenites, and the most comfortable futon bedding and doona. I got the all inclusive package and the dinner and breakfast was amazing and a highlight of my whole trip to Japan. There were multiple courses all presented in the most incredible way. The female onsen had 3 different baths including an outside one. I had it all to myself which was a luxury. There is also a little deck and Japanses garden where you can soak your tired feet in the hot mineral onsen water. It was easy to get to from the train station. I took the bus from the bus station opposite and paid cash to the bus driver as I exited the bus. When I left I took the bus to the Castle, left my luggage in the lockers, did a free guided tour of the castle  and then walked a short way back to the station. Matsumoto is a lovely city to visit and I'm so glad I stayed at this Ryokan.

Blissful Onsen Experiance

Beautiful, traditional Japanese ryokan (inn) with friendly, helpful staff. Some speak English well. Breakfast and dinner is included in the plan. The food is exquisitely presented and so many dishes--too many really. Comfortable bedding--futons laid out on the tatami mats.  Lovely gardens and  perfect hot spring baths-- plus a hot spring foot bath for tired or cold feet!  This inn is not in the center of Matsumoto but an easy  and short bus (or taxi) ride away.  Highly recommended!

Beautiful inn for Matsumoto visit

This ryokan was a surprising discovery. It's 3-star rating did not reflect the outstanding value it delivered.

The Oiwakeya is a spotlessly clean and has an enduring aesthetic that fully conveys the ryokan experience (tatami lined rooms; comfortable futons; shoji screens; exceptional and visually stunning dinners and breakfasts; an invigorating onsen (hot spring pool) ; and much more).

Most importantly, the staff, without exception, were extremely courteous, helpful, patient and many of them communicated effectively in English.

The ryokan is located on the outskirts of Matsumoto . . . a short 15 min bus ride (the nearest stop was an easy one minute walk).  It was situated in a quiet neighborhood.

Already missing it . . . and would definitely want to come back !

Hidden Treasure

The taxi driver from the station was spot on when he said the food was amazing! Dinner was 9 courses of lovingly prepared & intricately served traditional Japanese Kaiseki food. Many of the dishes were seafood tuna, bream, tiny calamari & prawn. There was a similar number of beautifully prepared courses for breakfast! The staff prepared our futon bed when we were eating. The ryokan has a lovely onsen in which to relax! Highly recommended!

A brilliant & authentic traditional ryokan

What a truly incredible experience of the highest quality and food presentation on par with an aspiring Michelin star restaurant.
A 15min taxi ride from Matsumoto station we were greeted by our English speaking host who showed myself and family around the property, the baths, the indoor koi pond, small shop and finally our room. The room was amazing and decorated the true style of a ryokan, but with mini bar, bathroom and separate toilet.
We booked a private bathing session for the early evening that was fed by the hot springs, and featured a large indoor pool and outdoor tub.
The highlight was the evening meal included in the price. This meal was exquisite and displayed in beautiful porcelain. We also sampled the local wine which was great. Our host spoke good English and was able to explain each of the dishes in detail and how we should approach each of them. We left feeling we had been on a culinary journey.
I could not recommend this place more and a great place to experience after seeing the sights of Matsumoto or just a place to relax.


A True Japanese Experience 

My wife and I visiting from London stayed here for one night on 20/04/17. During our trip to Japan we stayed at another ryokan that cost nearly 3 times the price of this one and had a 3 Michelin Star meal that cost more than double the price of this place including the (upgraded) GU meal my wife and I had, but this place held its own against the stiff competition from the two that I have mentioned here. The welcome, the service, the meals, the whole ambience of the place are really top class. My wife is a vegetarian and the chef prepared apparently the establishment’s first vegetarian menu that literally was mind blowing. Please do not be put off by the fact that this place is not close to the station. An eMail to them will result in a response that will guide you how to get here and getting to this place is very easy. In fact, my wife and I walked easily to town from this ryokan to spend part of the afternoon in town. This place was an experience that my wife and I are never ever going to forget and I can say for sure that I will happily return to Japan to enjoy this place again. 
Copying from their response to me: 
We suggest you to take a bus or taxi from Matsumoto station.

If you take a bus, you need to go to “Castle side exit” after get off the train.
Then you can find the “Ario” shopping mall across the street.
The bus terminal is at the first floor of the “Ario” shopping mall.

The bus [ No.31 for “Utsukushigahara Onsen”] is heading to our hotel.
You need to get off the bus at “Tsujidou” bus stop. It costs 340yen per person.

If you take a taxi, it takes about 15min from station.(Taxi terminal is also at the Castle side exit)
The cost is about 2000Yen.

Best experience one can think of - amazing, amazing place

Beautiful Ryokan in a quiet residential area of Matsumoto. The service is excellent, a real Japanese experience.
The Ryokan is nicely decorated and there are also Koi fish inside! The room is big with Tatami floor.

They have both public and private Onsen, the private is relaxing with external and internal pool.

Had a full Kaiseki Dinner, that was good but not the best I had in Japan.
The Ryokan is a bit far from the train station, about 10 minutes by cab.

Beautiful Ryokan in Matsumoto with excellent service

This pretty ryokan on the outskits of Matsumoto has a lot to offer. Exceedingly friendly personnel, great japanese cuisine and pleasant hot baths. You'll sleep on a futon on the floor and the baths are public (though there is the possibility to reserve a "Family Bath") but rooms have their own toilet and wash basin. The 7 course dinner is beautiful to look at and very good. The only minor inconvenience was that the wifi internet connection was very slow ... at best. But hey, this is a place too sit down, enjoy life and relax!
