Matsumato

Forty square meters of self-catering space define Matsumato, a residential apartment in Sasabe on Matsumoto's quiet western edge, roughly a fifteen-minute drive from the castle and station area — a practical base for longer stays or families wanting full kitchen facilities over hotel service.

The unit includes a stovetop, microwave, toaster, and washing machine, plus a terrace and dining table for meals in rather than out. Carpeted floors and a sofa give the living area a lived-in, apartment feel rather than a standard room layout.

Parking is on-site, useful given the distance from central Matsumoto's rail links.
