irodori

Good hotel with onsen and parking

Gas heaters were making the entire room smell like gas

Family runs small hotel. Clean but a bit old room with no soundproof, luckily it was quiet at night enough for sleeping.The owners are very kind and try to helping us. They provide breakfast in early morning starting at 5.30PM.Restaurant are well decorated and cozy, open at 5.30PM with good prepared dinner.Also has private onsen which you can book a time for service.

Very friendly and unpretentious locally owned hotel. Loved having the Onsen in the basement and the restaurant next door! Good base for hiking in the national park

A short walk down from the tourist information centre at the end of a day hiking at Norikura.

Staffs really nice and friendly. Location is up on the hill and not too far from Sawando bus terminal. Hotel and cafe has a good food too.

No air conditioning, how about summer season.

IT’s a very good place to stay in the Mountains, there is the onsen that you have to reserve for 30 minutes, we also are a dinner and a breakfast, very tasty.If you like to do hiking , this is your place to stay!

The cafe on the 1st floor serves breakfast and dinner and you just have to reserve upon checking in. It's quite convenient for us, and the meals are satisfying.

The owner is very helpful and friendly although we check in late. Room was clean and tidy and spacious. Breakfast is very tasty neither Japanese style nor Western style. They provide Onsen pool facility which can be use privately for 30 minutes - superb. The view from the room and dinning is very beautiful. The dining hall have digital piano and my girl managed to play on it (upon permission from the owner).

The downside would be the smell of kerosene and no skies equipment renting service.

We have plenty of space in the room with several great facilities we can use. The staff are so kind and the food in the restaurant is very tasty !

Good food. Very friendly owner and staffs. Their onsen booking system allowed you to have the whole bathroom to yourself so that was cool.

A tiny inconvenience. We went during winter and the water pipe kinda froze up which caused the problem with bathroom drainage so it was quite a struggling, but the staff acknowledged the problem and fixed it in the next day. So personally I give them credit for that.

Rustic place set in a pretty forest mountain area. Bit hard to get to if you don't have a car and around an hour from the city centre of Matsumoto. Rooms were authentic feeling, very tiny bathroom, beds were comfortable, small rooms. There is a small bath but it wasn't very warm so didn't go in but it's there for guests which is nice.

Bit too far from main tourist locations and price was expensive for what you get.

It has a very homely feel - the host is ultra welcoming and helpful. It's a great base to explore Norikura, and is even convenient to get to Sawando Bus Terminal to explore Kamikochi (if driving). The futons were really comfortable - probably because you could add as many as you like!And the breakfast was awesome.

It may be hard to find at night. Wasn't a great issue for me since I was driving though. As it is in almost kind of a nature reserve, you might find a bug or two in the room. It's not that the rooms are not clean, it just is a function of where Irodori is located.

very close to Kamikochi. private onsen.

the shower in room was almost unusable - the watter pressure is minimal, and the temperature is either way to hot or cold as ice. Very limited options for dinner in the vicinity.

The owner of the place was very nice, and helped with all our requests.We liked that the bath allowed couples to bathe together.There is a possibility to eat there.The location is in the heart of the park.

the box of the toilets and showers are small and low quality.The food was not tasty and the service in the restaurant was disappointing.

The place is run by a lovely lady, so helpful, kind and lovely. She went out of her way to make us feel comfortable and welcomed. The room was absolutely phenomenal, real Japanese style regimen with such comfortables mattresses. The place has an in house restaurant. Very good food at affordable prices, breakfast was also extremely tasty, probably the best Japanese breakfast we had at any hotel. I highly recommend this place to anyone.

The owner was extremely accommodating and nice. The breakfast was large, tasty and customized for our preferences. They even had a private onsen we could use for free.

Lovely host, private Onsen, varied breakfast

The kids triple bedroom smelled strange and dump and they spent the night with an open window

The warm house and nice meal

No, i am so appreciate that I could spend one night here after mountain climbing.

Nice quiet location, parked right in front of the property. Don't think the host knew I was coming - had to call out and shout out for them. Turns out besides a couple, I was the only other guest there. Rooms are upstairs (no elevator), private onsen is downstairs (place a room number magnet on time slot board to book). Room looks recently remodelled so that's nice. Sleepwear and additional towels available.

Looks like owner managed property - you'll need to call out (not just press the buzzer) to reach out for assistance - I arrived ~8pm and they look to be already preparing to sleep in the room behind the counter. They were able to do check in and explain a few basic necessities so not much of an issue if you are just here to sleep.

The breakfast is great , both western and japanese style. MUST EAT.The staff is nice and helpful but she will off work after 8...Have a 24 hour store just 2min walk where you can find most of the basic needsCan see the stars on nice weather.

Its raining on our first night , we had to shut the windows because too much insects going in. The room was a bit too suffocated because no air con. But the room was cool when we were able to open the window on the second night when no rainingHave insect repellents for sale in the 24hour store ....but unluckily we knew it on the second day

Comfortable stay and very tranquil surrounding and the food was good.
