Many Stories That Begin in Matsumoto and Asama Onsen
“Matsumoto Jūjō” is the collective name for a project aimed at revitalizing “Koyanagi,” a historic ryokan founded in Jōkyō 3 (1686), and renovating the Asama Onsen area. “Jūjō” means “10 stories.” The name was chosen with the hope that visitors will sense the various stories embedded in this place and that a new story might begin for each of them.The grounds feature two hotels—‘Matsumoto Honbako’ and ‘Koyanagi’—both renovated from the original ryokan, as well as a bookstore, a bakery, a shop, a restaurant, and a hard cider brewery. Off-site, there are two cafés: ‘Oyaki and Coffee’ and ‘Philosophy and Sweets.’
