This if the first Ryokan I have ever stayed in so I have nothing to compare my experience to besides one of the other hotels I stayed at while visiting Japan for the first time. With that in mind, I can definitely say that the Matsui Bekkan Hanakanzashi was my favorite stay by far. The entire experience was completely different from a normal hotel. The Japanese breakfasts each morning were an added bonus and this is coming from someone that is a little picky about what I eat (I did my best to be adventurous in Japan which is what I would also recommend to anyone visiting). The housekeeping and staff were amazingly nice and helpful. The place was very clean and besides having to get used to a different style of bed, I thought the stay was better than I could have expected. I don't know if other Ryokans are any better than the Matsui Bekkan Hanakanzashi but I can safely say that you won't be disappointed in your stay here. I would highly recommend this place and look forward to my next trip back so I can stay here again.

Lovely staff , comfortable futons, excellent breakfast and convenient location within walking distance to Nishiki market. Warm communal baths were great after a long day of walking. They even polished our shoes on arrival !

Stayed one night at this hotel for the Japanese experience and it was amazing. Booked with breakfast and dinner included. The food was spectacular and as a true Ryokan they offered hot baths for guests to relax in. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend this experience.

We had an excellent stay at the Matsui Bekkan. Rooms were clean and spacious. Staff could not have been more friendly or helpful. Breakfast every morning was a feast. We would highly recommend this hotel for folks looking for a foreigner-friendly traditional Japanese experience!

Property described as ryokan but was not as immersive or tranquil as I was hoping for. Breakfast was traditional and ok. Dinner might have been better as it was served in-room but we unfortunately did not get that included. Room amenities were nice.
Although the property was a little dated, it was clean and well maintained.
Do not book if you’re not a fan of “big lights”. Iykyk.
Service was superb, everyone very friendly and accommodating.
