Matsumoto Hotel Kagetsu
Nice hotel we used the Japanese style room with futon and in room shower. My GF had her period so it was good she didn’t need to use the onsen. Room was nice and big and very close to Matsumoto castle. Only thing I was disappointed was parking fee. It’s far from tokyo so I assume many would drive ...

Large Western House with deck overlooking Lake Suwa, Sth Alps & Mt Fuji
Lovely house high up a hill overlooking the lake and Mt Fuji visible on clear day. We stayed two nights and regretted not staying longer. Well appointed house: comfortable and warm. Hosts were friendly and helpful. Highly recommended.
