Onsen Inn 36So  

In Matsumoto, a compact ski ryokan tucked close to the Norikura Plateau. Minutes from Mt. Norikura Snow Resort and Yoshigoro Falls, with local spots like Spring Bank and waterfalls such as Sanbondaki, Zengoro and Bandokoro Otaki within easy reach.

A budget-friendly ski ryokan with just 8 guestrooms—simple, cozy and practical. Rooms offer flat-screen TVs, fireplaces, air conditioning, blackout curtains, fans, slippers and bathrooms stocked with complimentary toiletries; daily housekeeping keeps things neat. The front desk runs on limited hours and there are designated smoking areas on site.

Free self-parking and a dedicated parking zone for car travelers make arrivals easy. Ski access is a highlight thanks to nearby slopes; luggage storage, laundry and dry-cleaning services, plus a safe-deposit box, cover practical needs. Wake up to crisp mountain air and step straight into winter-sport territory.
