Matsubaya Ryokan ReviewA member of the Japanese Inn Group, this highly recommended nonsmoking ryokan just east of Higashi Honganji Temple is a great choice in this category. First opened in 1885 and completely rebuilt in 2008 using architectural details from the old inn, it's owned and managed by the friendly Hayashi family, representing the sixth generation of innkeepers. Fourteen rooms are Japanese style, with the best rooms overlooking a garden, while six Western-style rooms, all on the fifth floor, are actually apartments complete with kitchenettes, miniature balconies, free Internet, and free use of the washing machine. The comfortable lobby lounge is a good place to meet fellow travelers and chat with the Hayashis, who have made this ryokan the highlight of many a voyager's trip for many decades.

3 stars | Frommer's Exceptional |
Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
