Matsudaya Hotel

Thank you for your courteous service. Historic baths dating back to 1860, including Ishin-no-Yu, have been preserved, and the garden also retains historical buildings from the Meiji Restoration era, which was very educational. Thank you very much. The Nakahara Chuya Memorial Museum was also just nearby.

Everyone’s hospitality was outstanding, and I truly felt it is the reason this Accommodation’s history has endured. It was a wonderful place for history lovers, where I could relax and reflect on the late Edo period and the Meiji Restoration. Next time, I would love to visit again with my spouse. [Service] - Although I was traveling solo, the staff interacted with me at just the right distance—neither too close nor too distant—which made my stay very comfortable. - In their careful choice of words and gestures, I often felt their attentiveness to detail. - The front desk staff remembered both my name and my Room, and guided me smoothly to the dining area, which made me very happy. [Facilities] - My Room was in the main building; while its traditional structure remains and conveys a sense of history, the water facilities were relatively new and comfortable to use—the balance felt perfect. - The garden was beautifully maintained and truly impressive. - There were many valuable items and places connected to notable historical figures you’d read about in textbooks, which made my stay exciting throughout. - The multiple Onsen were built in different eras; it was fun to see those differences and feel their history, and everything was kept impeccably clean. [Overall] Experiencing firsthand the maintenance required for such historic buildings, gardens, and artifacts—as well as the high level of hospitality from the staff—my honest impression after staying here was: “I’d gladly pay about twice as much!” (laughs). I sincerely hope that traditional Japanese Accommodations like this—independent rather than backed by major capital—will continue for many years to come! (Sorry for such a long review…) Thank you very much.
