      Stayed 1 night in December 2021

      “convenience of access (by road or rail)”

      Arriving at the hotel at 9:30 a.m., I left my car and headed for sightseeing in Matsumoto, but there was no bus at a good time, so I walked 45 minutes to Matsumoto Castle. On the way to Matsumoto Castle, we were passed by a hotel shuttle bus. I heard it was taking us to Matsumoto station.... When I asked the hotel staff about the bus time, I wished they had told me. Other than that, I am satisfied!
