Some hot spring baths can be rented for private use. The property is a 15-minute bus ride from JR Matsumoto Station, and a 10-minute bus ride to the national treasure, Matsumoto Castle.

A TV and a fridge are provided, and guests can relax in yukata robes. Rooms come with a toilet, while bathrooms are shared. Free WiFi access is available throughout the entire property.

    宿のスタッフの方が皆さん温かく丁寧な接客をしてくださり気持ちよく利用できました。  美味しい信州のお料理をおなかいっぱい食べられて、最高に幸せでした! 施設内もお庭の雰囲気が素敵で、ゆったりとした気持ちで過ごせました。周りの声も聞こえづらく、静かに楽しむことができました。 貸切露天風呂も広く、貸切室内風呂も併設されていて、ゆったり体を温めることができました。
