Hotel M Matsumoto
Capsule beds a minute from the bus terminal
About this stay
Hotel M Matsumoto splits its inventory between capsule units and private rooms, sitting a minute's walk from the Matsumoto Bus Terminal and three minutes from JR Matsumoto Station, about as central as this city gets. The public bath runs on a gender-separated schedule, women from 3pm to 7pm and men across two blocks between evening and morning, a system worth checking before arrival. Free WiFi covers the property, and the 24-hour front desk handles luggage storage for guests catching an early Kamikochi bus. Matsumoto Castle is a 10-minute walk away, an easy add-on to a capsule stay. Travelers connecting onward to Kamikochi can time a soak or a meal around the bus terminal's departure schedule without needing much slack in the plan.
- 1 min to bus terminal

- Public bath
Our take
This suits solo travelers and budget-conscious couples who want the shortest possible distance to both the bus terminal and the station, particularly useful before an early Kamikochi departure. The capsule format won't suit everyone, so checking the private-room option is worth it for anyone uncomfortable with shared sleeping pods. Families should look elsewhere in this guide, since the format here is built for solo or paired budget travel.
- Check the gender-separated bath hours before arrival, the women's and men's slots run on different schedules.
- Book the private room option in advance if capsule sleeping isn't a fit, availability is limited.
- Store luggage at the 24-hour front desk if catching an early bus to Kamikochi from the terminal next door.

Why guests love itCatching an early bus to Kamikochi, being a minute from the terminal made the whole morning stress-free. The capsule was tight but private enough for a single night, and the public bath the evening before helped after a day of travel. The gender-hour schedule took some checking in advance, worth reading before arrival rather than at the front desk. The walk to Matsumoto Castle afterward was short and easy.
