Toyoko Inn Matsumoto-eki Higashi-guchi

What you will expect of a typical business hotel. One thing to note is the hotel does not allow luggage storage upon check out which is quite unusual. The hotel is close to the JR so the alternative would be to store in a locker at the station.

This hotel is in a fantastic spot, just a few minutes' walk from the East Gate of Matsumoto Station. Best of all, the Matsumoto Bus Terminal is right in front of the area, making it incredibly easy to catch the direct bus to Kamikochi in the morning.

Location was a 4 minute walk from the station, or 15 minutes to Matsumoto Castle which was great! Room was pretty spacious (bathroom was compact but fine) and there was a free breakfast which was very good - not too much choice but tasted really good. Beds were quite hard and they don’t do luggage storage after checkout unlike most other hotels, so had to pay for luggage storage at the station instead. Was good for one night. Great value for the price.

The front , kitchen and service staffs are friendly and helpful. The foods served during breakfast are good and delicious. The room was nice and clean.

Amazing and comfortable stay, excellent service.

Near to Matsumoto station. Luggage storage is not allowed after check out. Breakfast very good really recommended.

The staff are polite but not overly friendly and warm like others. The free breakfast is a long queue and Japanese are cooperative always to queue and finish their breakfast quickly so that others can have their breakfast asap. Literally probably only 3 mins walk to JR station and the bus terminal. Just realised on the trip is way cheaper to take highway bus to Osaka/Shin Osaka.
