“This Ryokan was quaint in the perfect way. It felt traditional without the modern flair. The owner was amazing and drove me to the snow monkey park at no cost. The onsen was perfect and tatami room was gorgeous. Amazing view around the town with the snow.”
“Our stay at Byaku was one of the most memorable experiences on our Japan trip. The hotel exemplifies Japanese artistry in so many ways, from hospitality to cuisine to design. It was a unique opportunity to stay in an historic region in a beautifully renovated historic Japanese structure. ”
“Fantastisk ophold i rolige, smukke omgivelser. På alle måder en positiv oplevelse. Personalet var venlige og hjælpsomme, spabadene skønne, maden lækker og værelserne dejlige. Kommer meget gerne igen.”
“Great option for your Nakasendo trail experience. Beautiful town. Be sure to walk around the temples and find the weeping cherry blossom (I think this was the name).”
"The hotel locates next to the JR Matsumoto station (3-4 minutes walking distance). It is convenient. I appreciate the public bath in the hotel which is clean and relaxing."
"Far exceeded our expectations: it is the price of a regular hotel, but you have the hospitality of an onsen ryokan:
1. It has an outdoor onsen at the top floor. There’re people sharing with you, but it’s big enough for you to relax. It has sauna by the way.
2. After onsen, the free ice bars, the comics will definitely entertain you. The same location offers free yakult drink in the morning.
3. After 9pm, there is free ramen. Yes, free. And the taste is good!
4. Room is like new and clean. Service is good. I need extra blankets and pillows and they come in no time.
Parking is like 1100 yen per night nearby."
