Matsudaya Hotel

Staff were very helpful with new customs of a Japanese style hotel, despite the language barrier. Good food and a western style breakfast available. The garden is a wonderful oasis and the ones was very enjoyable.

JR 車步行到酒店都不過是10~15分鐘, 好容易找到. 正門對著交通燈位. 擁有300年歷史, 好有傳統風格. 在大堂先要更換室內拖鞋, 而外出時服務員會即時拿出客人的鞋給你更換. 整個建築物已經好有欣賞價值, 有一個正統的日式庭園, 池內養了好多錦鯉魚, 還看到好靚的楓葉.我們房間露台就可以欣賞到庭園, 房間內的浴室有木造的浴缸. 晚餐及早餐都在房間吃...我們的管家非常專業, 又介紹各式食品...還有免費啤酒, 可樂提供. 房間中央位置有電暖氈, 厚厚綿被及暖氣...不過離開這範就會非常凍...此終是舊建築物, 當時技術未有那麼先進. 溫泉池地方不大, 但風呂有二個, 好靚好舒服. 早晚男女湯對換. 酒店過馬路直行有一間"狐狸之足跡"值得推介

雖然是超過三百年的旅館，但硬體設施維護的非常好，房間、溫泉浴池都很新穎乾淨，服務人員親切有禮，下次去湯田溫泉，松田屋還是我的首選。

歴史を感じる旅館です。建物自体が古いですが、それも一つの味わう所では？と思います。明治維新の歴史が好きな方はぜひ！

One day was not enough to explore all the sights of Yamaguchi City, and one night was not enough to enjoy the Matsudaya Hotel! Staff were welcoming, attentive and helpful. A useful info sheet and hotel map were provided. I had a spacious, well-designed and aesthetically pleasing twin room with a view of rooftops, mountains, and part of the beautiful, historic garden. There were two lounge chairs with a small table, a mini fridge, safe, tv, and lots of clothes storage space. Wi-fi was good. A proper tea-making and serving kit, plus an attractive yukata and comfy socks were appreciated. A pair of Ouchi Ningyo dolls, a Yamaguchi speciality, made a lovely adornment. The hotel is in the heart of the lively Yuda Onsen hot springs area which dates from the Muromachi era. I took a walk in the evening and there was plenty happening. The hotel's garden is lit in the evening so you can also enter it then. Leading activists working towards the demise of the Tokugawa shogunate and restoration of imperial rule used to meet there. On the way in or out, you can browse in the hotel's nice gift and souvenir shop. I didn't try the meals as I hadn't booked those ahead. The onsen are open all night. Thank you very much, I'm hoping to stay again in future!

If you would like to enjoy/experience typical high-end Japanese ryokan. You never regret choosing this hotel. The excellent dinner (I chose fugu-kaiseki) is offered at the individual dining rooms with great privacy. You enjoy quiet moment at their beautiful Japanese garden where many carps. People are very kind and attentive. I had a very impressive time there.
