aduminoyu onyado nonomatsumoto

10/10 Excellent
"Clean room, shoes off policy where lockers at front desk store items, breakfast at a cost of 2500yen per person was amazing and worth a try at least once however it is quite early in the morning. Free vegetarian ramen noodles from 9:30pm to 11pm was a bonus along with the icecream after public baths. Laundry washing is free and dryer service is 100 yen per 30 minutes. Close to station and walking distance to Matsumoto Castle."
