“What stands out here is the exceptional hospitality; the staff go above and beyond to accommodate requests, and the traditional multi-course dinners, featuring local cuisine, are a real highlight. The location, slightly removed from the city center, provides a peaceful retreat with killer views of Matsumoto, adding to the allure of the hot spring experience. I think it's a 10/10 experience.”
