Clean, walkable from station (if no rain), spacious rooms, warm service, tasty food. Best was the fantastic roof top onsen view of the mountain town and forests! One of the staff Hoshino-san was helpful with his English & Mandarin translations.
What a wonderful semi-western Japanese ryokan. We took the little train from Ueda and Nakamatsuya picked us up from the Bessho station for a 3 minute ride. Checked into a front facing room with self-contained private onsen bath. Delicious Kaiseki dinner and Japanese breakfast for our group of 10 friends. All in all, a little jewel, conveniently located in the little quaint village of Bessho. highly recommend.
