What guests think
Travellers describe Matsui Honkan as a traditional ryokan with warm, attentive hospitality, spacious tatami rooms, and a very central yet quiet location, complemented by clean public baths and highly praised kaiseki-style meals served with thoughtful touches.
Several guests highlighted considerate gestures such as welcome refreshments, daily gifts, and smooth baggage forwarding. Rooms follow classic futon-and-tatami layouts; some noted limited storage and a room that felt too warm and dry overnight. Feedback also mentions a small, compact bath area, occasional housekeeping or maintenance lapses, and a rare service misstep during a reservation dispute; a few found set meals lengthy or on the pricey side. Overall, expect a gracious, centrally located ryokan stay with authentic touches.
