"Decent place but I would probably not stay here again. The mattress felt like a box spring and was very hard, the walls were stained and the wallpaper was ripping in some areas, the walls were thin so you can easily here rooms beside you talking, on top of the fridge and desk there was dust and it looked like that hadn’t been wiped down in a while and my rooms floor had a black spot stains. I don’t think it was worth the price and I would rather spend a little more next time to get a better...

"Really enjoyed our short stay and visiting this area. Walkable distance from the station and lake. A full Japanese-style breakfast was beautifully presented with some alternatives also on offer - fruit, eggs, bacon etc. We visited in May when the hotel and Suwa generally were very quiet so we were able to enjoy the hotel facilitie - the modern reception area and onsen. Good size room with twin beds. Go for one with a lake view if possible."

Richmond Hotel Matsumoto

10/10 Excellent

"Great central location close to main sights and bus/train stations. Good choice of food for breakfast. Wife and kids enjoyed the complimentary face masks, moisturisers etc"

Matsumoto Hotel Kagetsu

10/10 Excellent

"We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Hotel Kagetsu in Matsumoto. From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel welcome with their warm, friendly, and attentive service. The room exceeded our expectations. It was spotless, incredibly spacious, and thoughtfully designed with a unique split-level layout that made it feel even larger. Having two sinks was a great convenience, and the amenities provided were excellent. Everything was clean, comfortable, and well maintained, making it easy to relax after a day of exploring. The location is fantastic—you really can't go wrong staying here. It's convenient to Matsumoto Castle, restaurants, shops, and everything you need while still offering a peaceful atmosphere. What truly made our stay exceptional was the outstanding customer service. The staff went above and beyond to help us arrange luggage forwarding to our next hotel, even though we requested it on very short notice. Despite the language barrier, they were incredibly patient, resourceful, and determined to make everything work. Their kindness and willingness to help made a lasting impression on us, and we were so grateful for all of their efforts. We would highly recommend Hotel Kagetsu to anyone visiting Matsumoto. It offers beautiful accommodations, an excellent location, less than 10 minute walk to Matsumoto Castle, and some of the best hospitality we've experienced in Japan. We would gladly stay here again!"

Toyoko Inn Matsumoto-eki Higashi-guchi

10/10 Excellent

"A pleasant stay in a convenient location. Though the check in time was late afternoon we arrived earlier, and we were able to store our luggage till check in. The staff were helpful and the property was in a great location, with a decent sized comfortable room and bathroom."

Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Shimosuwa?

The best area to stay in Shimosuwa is generally near the central historic district, particularly around the Shimosuwa-shuku Honjin and the area connecting to Lake Suwa.

This central area offers convenient pedestrian access to many of Shimosuwa's key attractions, such as the historic Shimosuwa-shuku Honjin, a former inn for feudal lords, and the nearby Suwa Taisha Shrine's Shimosha Akimiya. The streets here are lined with traditional buildings, small shops, and local eateries, providing a pleasant setting for exploration.

For couples looking for a relaxing and culturally enriching experience, staying in this central district is ideal. You'll be within easy walking distance of several onsen (hot spring) facilities, great for unwinding after a day of sightseeing. The proximity to Lake Suwa also allows for pleasant strolls along the shore, especially beautiful at sunset.

Travelers interested in the town's history and traditional crafts will also appreciate this location. Many small museums and workshops are concentrated here, offering insights into Shimosuwa's heritage as a post town on the Nakasendo trail.

When is the best time to go to Shimosuwa?

The best times to visit Shimosuwa are during spring (April to early May) and autumn (October to November) for pleasant weather and scenic beauty.

Spring offers mild temperatures, making it ideal for exploring the town and its natural surroundings. You'll find cherry blossoms beginning to bloom around Lake Suwa and along the historic Nakasendo trail, creating picturesque landscapes. This season is particularly appealing for couples and solo travelers who enjoy outdoor activities like gentle hikes and photography without the summer crowds.

Autumn provides comfortable, cool weather and stunning fall foliage. The mountains surrounding Shimosuwa and the shores of Lake Suwa transform into vibrant displays of red, orange, and gold. This period is excellent for those interested in cultural exploration, as it often coincides with local festivals, and the crisp air makes visiting shrines and museums more enjoyable.
