Hotels near Nagamineyama Panorama Park, Azumino

The employee 々 was kind and polite and very sensitivity. However, since it lives in the prefecture, it is a pity that it was politely refused to apply the application of Shinshu accommodation when it offered the application of ”it is not applied if it is not booked by the target plan”. When I stayed at Feena Vista last week, I only booked it normally on the accommodation site at the same time when I checked in, ”the customer lives in Nagano Prefecture, so Shinshu accommodation is applied.” (I didn't know that there was a accommodation fee until then) I was able to fill in the necessary documents on the spot and cash back \5000 (1 night 2 people) when I checked out.

This quirky but comfortable hotel won't necessarily wow you but they get the details right. Quaint architecture, comfortable yukata, very nice service (in particular they were very sweet when dealing with a lost passport situation!). A 12 min walk from the station, nice emphasis on local crafts, and very close to the matsumoto castle.

The staff and service were very appreciated. We forget some stuff in the room and the hotel staff tried so hard to find it and gave us back despite we already check out. The room was clean and comfortable. The location was very close to the train station with a few minutes walk. We really appreciated our stay and will visit again for sure. 😊

About 5 minutes walk from the station. Matsumoto at this time has a high accommodation fee. At the time of booking, I used a 2K coupon for 14K on a certain cat site. After that, the price fell to about 12K and it was about the same as the non-application of the coupon, but it was unlikely to fall any further, so I left it with an early reservation. There is a suspicion of double price. Is it a good example to be careful when booking coupon distribution time? Since it is a Dormy Inn, the level of breakfast is high. Soba is a type that you order and make. Since it is located in the center of Matsumoto, you don't have to worry about eating out or convenience stores. Also, I think the point is that the large communal bath is a hot spring. It is a weak alkaline spring, but it seems to be a source of market price.

Check-in uses an automatic check-in machine, but even when I entered the building, the front desk staff just looked silently and didn't even greet me. Also, the guests who tried to check in at the front desk were cold to use the check-in machine. (If you don't support check-in at the front desk, you don't need ２ people at the counter. １ Why don't you stand at the person check-in machine and guide you?) Alpico Hotel Group ”Shoho” It was the decisive factor to use the large bath, but only 10 people can be used per free transfer bus １ flight (１ day ２ flight), and there was no explanation from the front staff. The rooms were not cleaned, dust was accumulated on the desk, refrigerator, and the head of the bed, and the mirror was not wiped. (I went to the front desk and borrowed a rag and cleaned it myself)

We came to this hotel after a day of enjoyable sightseeing and hiking at the Snow Wall along the Tateyama Kurobe Alpen Route. The hotel invited us early to the sumptuous and marvellous dinner prepared for us. I like the minced tuna and raw salmon slices, the miso soup, dumpling and vegetable tempura. The wasabi ice cream was an energiser. I thought I would have a sound sleep at night as I was physically exhausted from the day walking but I found my body is not acclimatised to the cold temperature at this mountainous resort. I raised the aircon temperature to the maximum 29 degree and still felt cold. I should have turned on the heater but did not know how to do so. Thus, the bitter coldness woke me up on few occasions disrupting the sleep ryhmth. The next morning, I decided to go for an early morning walk at the Azumino mountain forest behind the hotel. The wind was cold and my hand was numbed as I braved my way up the slope with only a short and t shirt. Back at the hotel, I was greeted with a sumptuous breakfast of yogurt, coffee, soba noodles, nattos, croissants, salad, fresh milk and many other good food. I went for a refreshing onsen bath at basement 2 before check- out. There was no one using the onsen and I have the whole onsen to my self. What I like about this hotel is that it is located right in the mountain forest and the air is filled with so much negative ions from the numerous tall trees. The Japanese named it Shirin yoku. There are beverages at the 'oasis' but were meant for hotel members not the hotel guests. Why the difference? We felt not so welcome. The reception staff were courteous and helpful but it would be ideal if they can learn to speak English. Language barrier inhibits effective communication. We were sent to the West Wing instead of our rooms at the East Wing. We were surprised that both beer and wines were complimentary during dinner. If there is a chance, I would want to stay at this hotel but will remember to turn on the heater at night.

I chose this hotel in front of the station for the next day to use a car rental. It is a hotel of the Alpico Transportation Group. The receptionist is on the 2 floor. Check-in requires a machine hand input by yourself, and all payments, card keys and breakfast tickets are out of the machine. So payment is prepaid. It depends on the way of thinking whether it is troublesome or convenient. 1 person 8000 yen with breakfast. There was Wi-Fi, the room and the bathroom were clean and the bed was comfortable and there was no particular dissatisfaction. There are also restaurants and taverns in front of the station for dinner, so there is no worry.

A super hotel, convenient for both Matsumoto train and bus stations, with the best breakfast in Japan! We stayed for two nights in a twin room, which was reasonably sized, with a small seating area. Everything was spotlessly clean, with a compact bathroom and decent over the bath shower. The hotel has excellent facilities, including two laundry rooms, so we were able to get our washing done for 300 yen a load. You can monitor the progress of your washing and drying from your bedroom TV, which also tells you how busy the breakfast room is! The breakfast was amazing! Such an incredible array of sweet and savoury dishes, including roasted pumpkin in sesame which was divine. Reception staff spoke good English and were very polite and helpful. A really nice hotel for visiting beautiful Matsumoto Castle and the Yayoi Kusama exhibition at the City Museum of Art. We would definitely recommend it.

~7min walk from Matsumoto station with many food options nearby, on usual days. We went on 31 Dec to 1 Jan and the streets were empty; shops were 99% closed, except for Parco / big malls. Hotel staffs were super helpful and friendly. I loved the shoe locker concept at the main entrance of the hotel; you lock your shoes and go barefooted around the hotel. Hotel staff assisted to check on available restaurant opening hours, as well as reservation on 31 Dec since we weren't sure if places were open. Onsen (both indoor and outdoor) was the best, coupled with complimentary laundry facility (dryer at 100yen). Shampoo and body wash were all available for use. There are vending machines at the common area outside the bathroom. Complimentary ramen at night (do check with the hotel on the timing). Soba over new year's countdown at midnight was yummy. Wonderful overall experience. Will explore Onyado in other cities in future!

２ I stayed for the first time in a year. The room is kept clean and I like it. I was a little worried that the man at the front desk at check-in was a little unfriendly, but there was no problem other than that. Perhaps it was a corona wreck, restricting admission to the large communal bath, only ３ lockers were available, but when I went there was no one and it was reserved. The hot water was a little hot, and I was able to warm my body in the cold waves. The air conditioner in the guest room was a little bad and it took a while to warm up. Breakfast was over ８, but there were some side dishes. I thought it was suitable for free breakfast and the low accommodation fee. By the way, the signboard light at the top of the building is off, so if you are using it for the first time, you need to be careful.
