Wonderful hosts and attentive to your needs. The home and its surroundings are absolutely stunning. We were the only guests for one night as we were hiking up to Narai the following day. The dinner meal course was an unforgettable culinary delight. Our brief stay was one of the best cultural experiences we had in Japan and I can only imagine Takimi Onsen during peak fall season in its magnificent glory.

The staff were friendly and very helpful. There is a free shuttle service from Tsumago and Nagiso to the hotel which was very helpful. The onsen was a lovely experience aespecially after walking part of the Nakasendo trail. Such a great idea to swap the men and women’s over at midnight so you can experience a different view of the mountains. We particularly enjoyed the outdoor baths. The meal was incredible, delicious and beautifully presented. It was great to have such fresh, local cuisine and helpful that each course was explained .Breakfast was also delicious and had several courses although each one was reasonably small.To have it served in our own Japanese style room was lovely .

My second trip in the last year. And I’ll be back again next year. Great helpful staff, wonderful setting. I love all of the book. And especially the care of presenting local food with great expectations of what you are eating. By the way their Macha donuts at their bakery are wonderful. I also took home a few bags of their special granola. Wish I’d brought more. I’ve been to Japan well over 20 times I highly recommend this lodging.

The family who own and run the ryokan are delightful - welcoming and very helpful. I stayed here 15 years ago and they continue to run an exceptional traditional-style inn, if anything it has improved over the years. The updated onsen is a lovely feature. The breakfasts are delicious. Relatively easy walking distance to the “National Treasure” which is the castle of Matsumoto-Jo and to the superb modern art museum; easy bus ride to/from the rail station.

Masuya Ryokan was truly a joy. This historic, family-run ryokan with provide you with a comfortable and authentically Japanese experience throughout. The tatami rooms were well-maintained, the mountain views were breath-taking, the staff was so kind and welcoming, and the food was incredible. Easily the best Japanese food I've ever had.

Early July, we were the only travellers so we had the onsen to ourselves. There was male, female and private onsen available. There was excellent service, and they welcomed our young toddlers. We got driven to the Jigokudani Monkey Park and picked up by Yumoto-san. Yumoto-san and his wife also helped style our family in yukata for photos.

The staff were so friendly and helpful. A delightful little town. This ryokan has its own private onsens. We didn't have to book and could use any onsen privately if it was vacant. A great way for people who are anxious about shared bath houses to enjoy this experience. Breakfast (traditional Japanese and western) was so delicious. A beautiful serene experience. 10/10 recommend.

Absolutely my standout stay in Japan, a place I have both lived and travelled to more than a dozen times. Besho Onsen Midoriya is a beautiful modern Ryokan with private hot spring baths set in the most tranquil of settings. I particularly loved the Kaiseki set course dinner and of course the provided breakfasts. I will be back!

Alkira and Yumi were wonderful hosts with nothing too much trouble. The room was fabulous. Comfy futons and all facilities. Immaculately clean. The onsen baths were amazing. We had dinner and breakfast which were magnificent, served in an elegant dinning room. Yumi is a marvellous chef. Alkira drove us to the Snow Monkeys Park and to the station the next morning. We only stayed 1 night. Wish we'd stayed longer. We will be back

Beautiful location in its own valley in the mountains. In late April the flowering peach trees look beautiful! This property is an annex of Hotel Fukinomori, just across the car park, and is an excellent way to enjoy the hotel’s facilities at a cheaper price, especially the amazing onsen and its view. If you don’t mind missing out on the kaiseki course meal then this is a great ryokan experience for a much lower price. It’s also a short drive / shuttle bus to the nearby post-towns of Tsumago and Magome, highly recommended!
