Matsumoto Jujo
9,4/10 Exceptional - Based on 302 reviews
An enveloping atmosphere extends to the heart of the Matsumoto Jujo ryokan, where the symbiosis between contemporary design and Japanese charm invites relaxation. The outdoor baths, fed by natural hot springs, welcome travelers under a starry sky, while the spa provides revitalizing treatments for body and mind. The glow of the omnipresent wood subtly responds to the soft light that caresses the spaces, creating a sanctuary of well-being where every corner breathes serenity and elegance.
In the rooms, every detail tells a story. Clean lines intertwine with natural elements to compose timeless refuges. Private terrace, mountain view, or wooden bath, each accommodation offers a unique experience, whether it is panoramic suites or cozy family rooms. Traditional tatamis, warm textures, and modern comfort harmoniously dialogue, offering travelers a perfect immersion in the Japanese art of living.
Refinement and discovery also invite themselves to the table. The two on-site restaurants, one offering Italian cuisine and the other delicate grills, seduce with their creativity and respect for local flavors. Nearby, Matsumoto charms gourmets with its establishments generously imbued with the culinary culture of the region. This ryokan in Matsumoto is a true parenthesis of sweet delights, where every meal becomes gourmet poetry.

Japanese Authenticity Evaluation
5/10 Harmony is created between modernity and traditional Japanese touch, but the authentic spirit of ryokans is sometimes diluted. The culinary experience seems standard with an international touch, while the baths lack specific elements to stand out as traditional onsens.
