(*The dinner menu varies depending on the season and the plan you booked.)

At Shoho, breakfast isn’t just the first meal of the day; it’s a culinary journey that awakens the senses and prepares you for the adventures that lie ahead.

We offer a bountiful buffet of about 40 Japanese and Western dishes freshly prepared in our open kitchen. Indulge in a variety of vibrant, Shinshu region-grown vegetables, harvested each morning to ensure peak freshness and flavor. For a truly unique and hearty start, create your own “Nokke-don,” our specialty where you top a bowl of steamed rice with your choice of ingredients such as tender braised pork or lightly seared tuna, with many other ingredients to choose from.

Children and adults alike will delight in our stone-baked French toast, a sweet treat drizzled with honey that perfectly complements the crunch of the toast. This beloved dish is sure to bring a smile to everyone’s morning.

Ultimate Onsen Experience

Immerse yourself in the rejuvenating embrace of our hot springs at Shoho, featuring a variety of indoor and open-air baths. From “Utsukushi no Yu” (Beauty Bath), our scenic semi-outdoor bath, you can enjoy the stunning view of the surrounding Alps and the historic town of Matsumoto, providing a serene backdrop as you soak in the healing waters.

“Tsukama no Yu”, the open-air and indoor hot spring baths where you can watch the seasonal greenery that decorates the surroundings. Next to it is a jacuzzi, whose fine bubbles and ultrasonic waves will loosen up your body to the core!

For those seeking privacy and exclusivity, select the room type that feature their own private hot spring baths, allowing you to enjoy the therapeutic benefits of our mineral-rich waters in the comfort of your room.

Hillside Haven with Stunning Vistas

Perched on a hill overlooking Matsumoto, Shoho provides unrivaled vistas of the city and the majestic Japanese Alps. Whether you’re in your room, at the footbath, relaxing on our terrace, or soaking in the semi-outdoor hot spring, the views are simply spectacular, adding a visual splendor to the comfort and relaxation of your stay.
