Cheap hotels in Bessho

The private onsen were great! And I loved that they were able to make such delicious vegetarian food for me.

one of the best ryokans we've ever stayed in. good value for money (we went off peak season). staff service was just superb. you have to remove your shoes at the entrance but no worries they provide slippers for you to move around and your shoes will be waiting at the steps when you leave. clogs available if you're venturing out nearby. free yukata for women- yukatas were beautiful. watched youtube on how to wear it. swiss hospitality lost to this ryokan's hospitality. everyone was so helpful, even wiped clean the wheels of our suitcases. rooms were huge. initially was apprehensive because only the smallest room was available and did not see any toilets in the pictures but thankfully the rooms (even the smallest one) were HUGE. onsen quite small but unlike other prefectures, we noticed ppl around here tend to just soak for 10 mins and leave immediately after a soak so turnover was quite fast. food was amazing!

The staff’s hospitality made us feel so welcomed…what a memorable stay:) the dinner was served with great attention to detail, not to mention it was delicious:) the staff were very patient with our needs and explaining the components of the dinner to us even though we arrived late to the hotel and the dinner:) we had a very spacious room, all very well heated with a comfy tatami mattress. They made our beds while we are at dinner:) we paid a small fee to use the private bath, which was amazing:) we didn’t thought it would be such a great experience before entering, a gem in Bessho onsen town!

Very clean and well organized. Pleasing comunal space to chill and super quiet rooms during the night. Also free breakfast and one free drink a day (i did not know that until last day tho :) ). The owner and baristas can give you many recommendations and they talk really nice English. Also many restaurants in the area and a konbini less than 10mins walking.

A lovely apartment, close to local transport. The owner was very friendly and helpful. They made us feel very welcome by providing water and snacks on arrival.

Forest Agata. What a wonderful little house in a great location in Matsumoto. We are a couple travelling by ourselves. We stayed there for just one night but would have loved to stay longer. Masa (Masaya) is a great host, provided suggestions as to what to see & do, is very available to answer any questions that you might have and more than willing to step in, if you need a hand or get stuck. Thank you Masa for looking after us! The location is the real key as to why this place was attractive to us. Being just a 5 minute walk to the entry to a new shopping mall with a food court on the top level (with 6-8 different vendors including KFC & Moss Burger) and 6 or so restaurants downstairs, it has plenty of dining options. On the way to the mall, there is the local bus stop, that can take you to the main JR station (10 minute ride, about Y200) Matsumoto castle is about a 20min walk from Forest Agata. Its is a great opportunity to follow the laneways through the suburbs and stumble across unexpected finds. There are tours of the castle in English language that depart from the main entrance at allocated times. The house itself has everything you need for your stay, including a dine in kitchen & laundry facilities. Although an old construction, everything is spotlessly clean & has new fittings and fixtures, like the toilet suite and vanity. We stayed in the winter time & the lounge/kitchen/diner & bedrooms are heated by reverse cycle air conditioning. The parts of the house that are not heated are quite cold, so make sure you have some warm lounge wear if staying during winter. There is a 7-11 Konbini right next door to the house, which is (obviously) quite convenient. When we first saw it we were a little worried about noise issues, but it proved to be not intrusive during sleep time with the heater on. We really loved our stay in Matsumoto & thank you Masa for looking after us.

Beautiful place in a quaint little village. Perfect place outside the usual tourist areas with good access to the highway to reach other places in the area. Excellent host who genuinely listens and gets back to you with ideas. The house has been beautifully restored with great design elements and furnishings. I loved it all. Delicious food prepared by the family. They even created a specific vegan menu for us! Couldn't recommend it more.
