Embracing the essence of ryokan culture, this accommodation offers a serene and authentic experience for travelers seeking to immerse themselves in Japanese tradition. Guests can enjoy tatami-matted rooms and futon bedding, which are emblematic of this style of lodging.

One of the standout features is its proximity to historical sites such as Ueda Castle and Zensanji Temple, allowing guests to easily explore local history. The nearby scenic hot springs offer a relaxing retreat after a day of exploration, making it ideal for those looking to unwind.

The ryokan’s service is often praised for its warmth and hospitality, providing a personalized touch that enhances the stay. Meals at Masuya Ryokan offer authentic Japanese cuisine, carefully prepared using local ingredients.

While these aspects highlight the rich cultural experience on offer, some might find the traditional setup—like shared bathrooms—a potential drawback. Additionally, English communication may be limited, which could present challenges for international visitors not familiar with Japanese.

Nevertheless, Masuya Ryokan provides an immersive cultural experience complemented by convenient access to some of Ueda’s most cherished attractions.
