Villas in Matsumoto

The staff is very helpful and responsive. Will surely come back again.

The comfort of the house which combines Japanese and Nordic design. The books on the shelf made us willing to stay longer and read through them :-)

The location is exceptional, situated opposite at the Matsumoto castle. There is a carpark that located in front of the house. The rooms are wide and comfy futon.

Amazing old house with beautiful interior design. Great amenities and location.

Forest Agata. What a wonderful little house in a great location in Matsumoto. We are a couple travelling by ourselves. We stayed there for just one night but would have loved to stay longer. Masa (Masaya) is a great host, provided suggestions as to what to see & do, is very available to answer any questions that you might have and more than willing to step in, if you need a hand or get stuck. Thank you Masa for looking after us! The location is the real key as to why this place was attractive to us. Being just a 5 minute walk to the entry to a new shopping mall with a food court on the top level (with 6-8 different vendors including KFC & Moss Burger) and 6 or so restaurants downstairs, it has plenty of dining options. On the way to the mall, there is the local bus stop, that can take you to the main JR station (10 minute ride, about Y200) Matsumoto castle is about a 20min walk from Forest Agata. Its is a great opportunity to follow the laneways through the suburbs and stumble across unexpected finds. There are tours of the castle in English language that depart from the main entrance at allocated times. The house itself has everything you need for your stay, including a dine in kitchen & laundry facilities. Although an old construction, everything is spotlessly clean & has new fittings and fixtures, like the toilet suite and vanity. We stayed in the winter time & the lounge/kitchen/diner & bedrooms are heated by reverse cycle air conditioning. The parts of the house that are not heated are quite cold, so make sure you have some warm lounge wear if staying during winter. There is a 7-11 Konbini right next door to the house, which is (obviously) quite convenient. When we first saw it we were a little worried about noise issues, but it proved to be not intrusive during sleep time with the heater on. We really loved our stay in Matsumoto & thank you Masa for looking after us.

Exactly as pictured, very nice host and near some great trails
