扉溫泉明神館(Myojinkan)

Amazing!!! Will definitely come back in the future...room rates are pricey but you get what you paid for. Food was like dining in a Michelin star restaurant. They have different types of onsen to suit your needs, from spacious onsen bath to deep bath and bed type bath.

Maravilhoso Ryokan adaptado a estrangeiros mas mantendo características de hotel japonês. Quartos limpos e elegantes. Comida ótima tanto japonesa como ocidental. Este relais chateau tem atendimento cortês e funcional. Ótima opção para lugar tranquilo no meio de uma floresta com rio muito lindo. Oferece café da manhã western.

雪の翌日に伺い，雪景色を堪能しました。 松本市内のいくつかの宿と検討し、 市街部から距離はあるものの、 温泉とフレンチレストランが決めてとなりこちらにしました。 お部屋は然タイプで、 半露天風呂をはじめ、快適な空間でした。次回もこのお部屋をリクエストしようと思います。 夕食は、二階でフレンチ。 地元の食材を中心に，優しいお味で、プレゼンテーションも素敵でした。 ワインペアリングは、量を選べるので、安心して楽しむことができました。 サーブのたび、ソムリエの方がストーリーを語ってくださり、料理に奥行きを出してくださいました。 その日はお祝いの方が多く、スタッフみなさんが素敵に演出してくれているのが印象的でした。 朝食は，四階で洋食。 心地よい朝陽の空間の中で、一日のスタートをきることができ、とてもいい思い出です。 雪の湿気のせいか、古い建物部分ではすこしカビくさい？匂いも感じましたが、順次改装されているようなので、より心地よい空間になると思います。 大浴場は、その日はぬるめのお湯でゆっくり浸かるタイプでした。 雪道で散策ができなかったので、また新緑の季節に伺いたく思います。 市街地から距離があるので、 時間に余裕のある方にお勧めします。 お部屋お食事とも、大満足のお宿です。

We loved this place! We stayed only one night (at the back end of a few days hiking on the Nakasendo Trail) but we truly enjoyed our stay. Perfect for some well-deserved relaxation after the hike! The hotel is a mix of a Japanese ryokan and Western style hotel - and part of the Relais & Chateaux network. After a couple of nights in more traditional ryokans, we had chosen western style rooms / bedding (very comfortable) and the French style dinner (which turned out to be fusion French / Japanese, it was delicious!) and we didn’t regret it. The onsen baths (3 different ones) are great, a very relaxing and pretty space (views out into the forest), and we enjoyed a massage at the spa. Lovely welcome and efficient service too. We wished we had stayed a bit longer!

Chambre magnifique avec très belle vue. Les bains sont d'excellente qualité et service attentionné. Seuls petits bémols, il faisait très chaud dans la navette nous connectant à la gare et les stores n'étaient pas suffisamment occultant. Sinon, très bonne expérience, à recommander sans aucun doute

The staff, service, facilities, and room were top notch. Once our stay was booked, we received an email questionnaire. We are both vegan and they accommodated our preference. asking for our preferences. You can select between Japanese and French cuisine. We both opted for Japanese. When we arrived, they staff greeted us kindly and it was a delightful surprise to be led into a room filled with Christmas decorations. We booked the "Standard Zen Suite" and were not disappointed. It comes with your own private indoor-outdoor onsen. It was heaven. If you are new to onsen, they also provide helpful instructions upon arrival that you can read. It was my absolute favorite onsen experience. There are three different onsens for guests, each separated by gender. They also provide popsicles, hot/cold tea, in addition to the standard shampoo, conditioner, body wash, hair tonic, skin lotion etc. When we were there they had two shuttles which ran from Matsumoto Station to pick you up. One at 3:15 pm and another at 4:30 pm. We would both love to return!

This was a gorgeous property with incredibly top notch luxury service. The Zen Suite is designed beautifully in a "Japandi" aesthetic that is exceptional. That suit also has its own private indoor-outdoor onsen, though the other onsens on the property were also beautiful indoor-outdoor onsens where we could feel the winter air as we soaked in the hot water. The dining was impeccable and they had amazing vegan Kaiseki courses. In addition, the lounge area was gorgeously decorated in Christmas tinsel and birch that made it feel like the most festive atmosphere. Everywhere the property felt like it blurred the indoors and outdoors while retaining a sense of warmth. This is not a cheap property, but it is actually good value for the price.
