    Everything about this place was amazing. The hospitality was beyond compare. The food was to die for. They accommodated our group's allergies and the fact that we weren't feeling very well to provide us with a much appreciated menu. The rooms are also unbelievable and the pictures don't do it any justice. But... You can also go fishing here! They will arrange for your fishing license for the day, which cost me 1,000yen. They'll also provide rental fishing gear if needed. The front desk staff gave me a map and pointed me to some places that were good and the stream is literally out the front door of the hotel. I was able to catch a yamame in less than a 2 minute walk. Overall the highlight of our trip.

    Amazing experience from the moment I pulled up until I begrudgingly had to be on my way. The service was amazing, anticipating my every need. The food was delicious. The rooms were spacious. I booked one with my own private onsen. However, I used them all because they were incredible!!! And finally, the grounds. I took a walk along the creek and it was breathtaking. I will be back!!

    Our stay at Tobira Onsen was truly unforgettable. The hotel is beautiful, but what I loved the most was the view from our room. It was absolutely breathtaking. We could have happily spent the whole day doing nothing, just sitting by the window, looking out at all the lush greenery, listening to the birds and the sound of the river. It was so peaceful and calming, the kind of place that makes you naturally slow down and take everything in. The service was also wonderful. I especially want to thank Ms. Inanami, who welcomed us when we arrived. We did not get to see her before we left, but she very thoughtfully left us a handwritten note and even drew my favorite Pokémon, Snorlax, on it. It was such a sweet surprise and honestly made me so happy. I will definitely keep that note as a special memory from this trip. We were also lucky to meet Ms. Wang, who happened to be from our hometown! She kindly introduced the hotel to us in detail and made us feel even more at home. That was one of the things I appreciated most about Tobira Onsen. It has a very beautiful and traditional Japanese atmosphere, but at the same time it feels open, inclusive, and welcoming to guests from different backgrounds. I also want to thank the restaurant staff, especially the two elderly gentlemen who served us during our meals. They were so hardworking, kind, and attentive. Their care made our dining experience feel even more special. If I ever travel to the Matsumoto area again, I would love to come back to Tobira Onsen Myojinkan. I can already imagine how beautiful it must be in every season, with cherry blossoms in spring, colorful leaves in autumn, and quiet snow in winter. Thank you for giving us such a warm and beautiful memory. This is a place I will always remember fondly.
