Shoho
390-0221 Nagano, Matsumoto, Yamabe 527, Japan – Great location - show map
The staff was courteous and helpful. Many spoke English, so while we never expect it, it's always a bonus and makes things easier. The breakfast bar had a wide assortment of both typical Japanese and Western breakfast foods. And dinner was AMAZING. It started with appertif, then appetizers, sashimi, hot pot, grilled meat... There were at least 8 or 9 different servings. We were stuffed and couldn't finish everything (but I tried 😉). The onsens were luxurious, as was our room, which came with the sauna. We had a room with a tatami and roll-out beds, so I could've used a little more padding, but that didn't detract from the experience at all. I enjoyed this girl's trip so much I booked again with my family.
