Ryokan Seifuso

On my trip to Japan, I stayed at this place for 2 days and that was the best stay I had in the country. Absolutely breathtaking view. I was there is Feb, and I woke up to light snow, felt like a winter wonderland. Got to know that the place has been around for more than 60 years. Ryokan Seifuso is run by an amazing family, the lady is an amazing host. They speak English. And the food, oh! I had breakfast there the days I was staying, and it was a piece of art! This stay was the most beautiful, calming and amazing experience I have had (in all these years of travelling). Absolutely recommend this for anyone in Matsumoto, or in fact visiting Japan.

What a nice and cosy ryokan in Matsumoto. Strong recommendation to book whenever you decide to stop for some nights in Matsumoto. Good eastern and western breakfast. The host is amazing and gave us a lot of local recommendations plus additional explanations of Japanese culture and tips for further explorations across Japan - Wasabi, Miso, Soy, Whisky or Green Tea productions sides. I uploaded some impressions of what we did during our stay at the Ryokan Seifuso in Matsumoto - we came by car. We had couple of problems to book different activites via the official homepages across Japan because of employees working there were not able to speak English where we tried to call. She called them and managed to get reservations whereever we needed it Thanks a lot for the hospitality!!! All thumbs up. It was a pleasure.

My mate Bevan and I stayed here for a few nights. We had a great time. Super hospitable and welcoming place. Not a bad thing to say. Fantastic location for accessing things like mt Utsukushigahara highlands(great spot), golf course(amazing) etc. Which is what we needed. We loved it and highly recommend the place for travelers. Just easy....and felt at ease. Which is what you want when you are on holiday

the comfiest futon ever, i slept like a log!! the location is a bit far from shops and sights, but this means it is nice and quiet at night. the breakfast was delicious as well, and beautifully prepared.

This is a lovely family run ryokan which we stayed at in March this year. The welcome and stay was very warm and welcoming, we felt like family. We had booked a room with three futons for two people and had plenty of space and a lovely view overlooking the river and mountains. They were very helpful with all questions we had and we could use their bikes free of charge. The town centre is about 20 min by foot and an easy walk along the river. They also sell super tasty honey and have an large and amazing Japanese breakfast! We would always stay with them again.

Nice big breakfast! Hot shared bath was good, no one else so quiet bath. They are so polite and hospitable 😊

Honestly my favourite place to stay in all of Japan. The owner was a lovely person and was extremely helpful with any questions we had about matsumoto. The rooms view of the river was magical with the fresh snow falling, well worth paying extra for. The Ryokan wasn’t very busy so my partner were about to the onsen privately which was really nice. The breakfast was exceptional. Not only is the owner a really nice person, shes also an amazing cook. Traditional Japanese breakfast to die for. No corners cut and reasonably priced. After check out we were able to leave our luggage there and use the bikes rent free to explore Matsumoto. Ryokan Seifuso really went above and beyond to ensure our stay was pleasant. :)

We were visiting from Los Angeles. Amazing stay overall, they treat us like family. The family that run it are incredibly nice. 1 block away from a main bus stop that takes you everywhere. The son of the family is a bee keeper so they sell honey too which was really good! I got 2 jars. Showers and toilets are separate and not included in rooms, all very clean. I'd recommend staying here!!! Hope the mom and dad retire soon! 🙏🏾💕
