Jizokan Matsuya Ryokan
Apa Kata Tetamu
Great traditional ryokan that I can recommend to anyone! Nice staff, really good japanese style breakfast, beautiful rooms and so much more. I used the ryokan’s onsen every morning and night. Also great location as Zenkōji temple is located right next to the ryokan. 5/5 stars!

An absolutely wonderful place to stay to experience a traditional Japanese Ryokan. The breakfasts were varied each day and beautifully presented. The fact that the Ryokan is located at the start of the Zenkoji temple complex made it even better. It was only 3km from the train station so okay walking without bags. The advantage is because of its position you could walk just a few meters to pick up a taxi to the station which only cost 1200Y.

Fantastic location between the Niomon and Sanmon gats of Zenkoji. A picturesque walk home every night up the nakamisedori. The original location of Zenkoji temple before it burnt down, this old ryokan is one of the best accommodations we have had in several Japan trips. Quite a sizeable room that was set up and packed away every day by the staff. And the futons were comfortable and cozy despite it being 1 degree Celsius each night. Fantastic food, different breakfast each morning, very tasty and the servings were huge. The staff were all so kind and helpful, and the old couple who own the place were always very smiling

This location is excellent. It is inside the temple grounds and we had a magical experience with cold weather, rain, and snow on our arrival night making a beautiful walk around the temple grounds. Breakfast was fabulous, and the staff were exceptional, despite the language barrier. This is a traditional Ryokan, not a high end hotel. However, we much preferred it and our experience was excellent. This location is a great stop-over to closer ski destinations but does not provide easy resort access. However if you are staying to see Nagano, do day trips, or visit Zengoji temple, it is excellent, easy, and clean.

When we made our reservation, we opted for the all-inclusive package that included breakfast and dinner. Both meals were fantastic! They consisted of a variety of small dishes, making it a delightful culinary experience. The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive. They kindly picked us up from our room for breakfast and dinner, and they even provided roomservice throughout our stay. Additionally, they always greeted us warmly whenever we returned from a day trip. The room itself was a pleasant surprise. It featured tatami mats, which we were instructed to leave our shoes at the entrance and wear our socks or slippers provided by the hotel. This unique experience added to the overall charm of our stay. Moreover, it was our first time visiting an onsen, which was a delightful and relaxing addition to our itinerary.

The location on the main pedestrian street that leads to the famous shrine was fabulous. Also this ryokan is really historic- read the sign outside the hotel. (Many of the historic marker signs Aaron’s town and in the shrine had an English translation I really appreciated this!) Nagano was a great surprise. Great little shops and the temple with the dark passage to find the key to happiness (go early) Breakfast at the ryokan was fabulous. The staff was kind. The ryokan was clean. The beds were comfortable. Eat at Ogawanoshodaimonten- watch them cook the stuffed breads over an open fire.

Cute little ryokan in an amazing location, right by Zenkoji Temple on the shopping street leading up to the temple. I can't emphasize enough how great the location is, you really can't do better if you want to stay near the temple area. Staff was extremely friendly, polite and helpful. The Japanese style breakfasts were very tasty and filling.

If I could give 100 stars to this ryokan, I would do it! It was absolutely stunning experience in Nagano, the whole family and staff are extremely friendly, kind and polite. They receive lots of international travelers and they understand tourists needs. You MUST book dinners and breakfasts with them! It was amazing experience! On a practical note: rooms were authentic, hot water, heater were reliable. Location is superb, close to the temple and delicious snacks. This place is ideal for alternative travelers interested in local tradition and with the appreciation for culture and history: I wish the owners only the best customers!

The location is unbeatable. Being able to wake up in the morning and walk to the temple before the crowds arrived was an amazing experience. The room was spacious for us and very quiet. The service was attentive and polite, always with a smile.

Staff was very kind and helpful, green tea in room had great quality and the snacks as well. Nice and traditional old house to visit for some nights. We did not try their breakfast or dinner, thus cannot judge on that.
