Rural setting with incredible meals

We chose this ryokan because of its proximity to Kamikochi, but come to find, it's not a fast/easy trip. It's about half way between Matsumoto and Takayama - 1.5 hrs in each direction, so also not a fast trip. It's an old hotel (I think they plan on renovating soon), with nice, helpful staff, large room, small, hard beds, and incredible meals. I you want to experience a more rural setting in the alps, this is a good place to stop for a night. There's not much to do around the neighborhood.

Must stay hotel if you drive to Nishihotadake

What I want to say is, you can’t find any hotel at this price with private onsen (public area) with can go with your kids. They also serve very nice dinner and breakfast which is included the in the hotel charges or FOC since the price is reasonable or consider cheap in Japan.

Hot spring relaxation in the Japanese Alps

This traditional Japanese Inn is in an area in the Alps that exists because of the hot springs - so go to enjoy the scenery, the indoor and outdoor bathing and, more than anything else, the attention you get from the staff. Greeted by green tea and encouragement to don your yukata, the purpose of any visit here needs to be to wind down (helpful after a Tokyo visit). Dining takes place in a private traditional Japanese room where one-to-one attention is provided. The food is a set menu but is truly beautiful in presentation, authentically Japanese and never ending! We gave up counting how many freshly prepared dishes appeared. Bedrooms are traditionally styled but it is ultimately a little hard to disguise that the overall structure is a slightly dated, purpose built hotel. Like most of Japan outwith the major cities, staff essentially speak only Japanese but have enough to explain the basics that you need to know. It made things better as opposed to problematic. So, go here to find out what the Japanese spend their weekends doing. We hade the entire place to ourselves on the Friday night but by Saturday it was full.
