Loraine K.
The owner and her daughter were so sweet, and we looked forward to seeing them each morning over the delicious Japanese breakfast. They also took our vegetarian dietary requests into account. The old ryokan has been completely remodeled, and it was very comfortable, with plenty of space, futons on tatami, and a private bath. It's centrally placed within walking distance of lots of interesting spots, but set back from the road and quiet. Nara gets plenty of tourists, yet we still found lovely places away from the crowds.

The family who run the place were wonderful, and we got a great dinner recommendation. The mother is a calligrapher, and we were able to peek into her studio as we came and went. Our single room was newly renovated, with a garden view and all the amenities you'd want for a traditional ryokan stay. They did our laundry, and the Japanese-style breakfast was delicious. It's about a 10-minute walk from the station along the covered Mochiidono Shopping St., with lots of food and entertainment nearby. I wish we'd had more time in Nara.

The hosts were kind, and we loved the traditional feel and the location. The calligraphy lesson is well worth doing. We had a fantastic time at this hidden gem and definitely would have stayed longer if we could.

My girlfriend and I are from Paris, France, and had a great time at Ryokan Matsumae while travelling around Japan. The staff were friendly and helpful. We really enjoyed staying somewhere so traditional, and I'd definitely recommend it.

The owner welcomed us so warmly, and the private calligraphy session with them was one of the highlights of our whole Japan trip. The Japanese breakfast was great too, which isn't always my thing. A brilliant traditional Ryokan, definitely recommended.
