This guest house offers free private parking and a shared kitchen. The guest house has family rooms. his is one of the best homestays/minshuku I've stayed in Japan. The host is very responsive before, during, and after the stay. Even though the bathroom and showers are shared, all the facilities are clean and the amenities provided, such as coin laundry, a fully-stocked kitchen, and a cosy common area, really exceeded my expectations. AEON mall / supermarket is 5 minutes away and the JR station/bus terminal is about 20 minutes away on foot. Easy peasy in terms of access. Highly recommend!

It is situated 29 km from Canora Hall and offers a shared kitchen. The guest house features family rooms. Checkin and checkout were very smooth. Chris and Kumi are great hosts. Loved the food Chris prepared, would definitely suggest trying their cafe. Also, Kumi was kind to help keep our luggage on our checkout date for some additional time while we roamed the Matsumoto castle. She also helped with luggage forwarding services, which was a lifesaver. Definitely reccommend coming here.

Guesthouse Azumaya, a property with a garden, is located in Matsumoto, 1.2 km from Matsumoto Station, 4.4 km from The Japan Ukiyo-e Museum, as well as 30 km from Canora Hall. Among the facilities at this property are a shared kitchen and a housekeeping service, along with free WiFi throughout the property. The guest house features family rooms. One of my favorite stays during my Japan trip. Matsumoto is such a beautiful city, very communal and scenic. I loved my stay at Guesthouse Azumaya. The owner, Shotaro, is such a gent and very fun to talk to. He knows all the best spots around the area and was very accommodating. A special shoutout to Nozomi also, he is a very sweet boy and looks after the guests well. The hostel has the cheapest washing machine from any other hostel I've visited, and it runs completely off an honorary system whereby you put 100 yen into a coin box. There's shampoo, body wash and conditioner stocked in the shower, there's also a good hairdryer, all free of charge. The beds are comfortable and the rooms are just the right size to store all your belongings. The wifi is fast and reliable, perfect for any digital nomads. I felt very comfortable and welcomed, I would definitely stay here again.

Tabi-shiro, a property with a shared lounge, is located in Matsumoto, less than 1 km from Matsumoto Station, 3.7 km from The Japan Ukiyo-e Museum, as well as 29 km from Canora Hall. Featuring a bar, the 2-star guest house has air-conditioned rooms with a shared bathroom. Free WiFi is available and private parking can be arranged at an extra charge. Overall, the facility is very comfortable and clean. The dormitory room has a locker for storage of personal belongings. The bed is comfortable and cozy, and bed sheets and pillow sheets to overlay on top of the futon are provided. We had a very good sleep. The common area is also well decorated and comfortable. There is a free water station, interesting books, board games, and card games. We had fun reading the horoscope book and playing Uno cards in the common area while drinking some locally sourced water, which is very tasty! This place also operates a bar at night. Although we didn't get a drink, we had gelato, which was very yummy! They also have a sauna room and provide rental towels for 200 yen. The shower gel, shampoo, and hair conditioner provided in the shower room are surprisingly good quality, making the shower enjoyable. They also sell their own goods, such as stickers, sauna hats, and mesh net bags. The selections are interesting and cute. The location is good—about a 12-minute walk from Matsumoto Station. The Matsumoto Castle is right next to it (about a 5-minute walk). We love this place and would definitely come again!
