Jizokan Matsuya Ryokan - Nagano

experience heartwarming hospitality at this family-run ryokan while enjoying delicious traditional meals each morning

The owner and staff were cute. The food was an absolute delight and the location ideal for visiting the temple.

The food was exceptional with plenty of alternatives. The rooms were light filled and large with tatami mats and shower & bathroom plus a great view, nothing too much trouble. The location was marvellous for walking around Zenko-ji Temple. I greatly enjoyed the stay here and will be back.

Stunning and incredible location a short walk from Daihonzan Daihongan Buddhist Temple. Outstanding food, good service...

Cozy and well-appointed Japanese-style rooms create a serene atmosphere.

From 6:00 AM onward, loud conversations echoed outside my door. Plus, the lack of soundproofing meant that staff preparing for breakfast were practically in my room-this is not the relaxing vacation I signed up for!

Warm welcoming hosts for an authentic Japanese ryokan experience. Lovely Japanese breakfast. Fantastic location close to Zenkoji temple in Nagano.

Excellent choice with any criteria. Very good location in the nicest area just in the threshold to the temple, which is the main attraction of the city. Ambient was exactly want you want to experiment in ryokan, feeling the years the place has seen, but still clean and comfortable, and the old owner couple was like tailor-made to the place.. so warm and welcoming. Even we didn't have language to understand each other, they showed and explained with hands what ever needed to explain. And although there are only public bathrooms in the corridor, as we arrived late, they made bathroom privately for us to have warm and relaxing bath before sleep. And to underline their hospitality, cause we didn't book breakfast, they gave us a juicy apple in the morning to not letting us leave without something to eat. This was first time for us in ryokan and it was exactly the experience we wanted to get.

This place was an excellent fit for resting at all in Nagano with very good value for money. The onsen spa was a lovely way to unwind after a day of exploring. Try to book a room away from the dining area for a quieter sleep.

The room is light filled and large and equipped with climate control, multi-channel TV and a fridge. Polite and welcoming staff, they smile all the time. The service is amazing, includes free parking.

A great experience of traditional Japanese accommodation, outstanding location and friendly staff who went out of their way to meet our needs.

No fridge or kettle.

a) Morning noise disturbances.

Also, the location is great and brilliant, minutes from Zenko-ji Temple. And it's not far from pedestrian street and nagano biggest and most famous temple and the shrine.

During my stay, I loved being just steps away from Zenkoji Temple. The meals were a highlight. Every breakfast was different and delicious, setting me up perfectly for a day of exploring. The room offered a lovely, traditional atmosphere and the little touches, like daily green tea and local sweets.

The authentic atmosphere and traditional meals were highlights of our stay. The rooms were beautifully designed, showcasing Japanese culture, while the cute staff was great.

Authentic ryokan experience

It's located right near the zenkoji temple. The room was elegantly designed with traditional japanese futon, and the onsen spa was such a treat after a long day. The staff were helpful too.

might want to improve the soundproofing a bit.
