Traditional Japanese Townhouse in Central Matsumoto – Golden Fox Inn Golden Fox Inn is a renovated Japanese-style townhouse originally built in 1969, located in the heart of Matsumoto City. Just one street south of the charming Nakamachi-dori, known for its traditional kura storehouses, the inn is within walking distance of Matsumoto Castle, Matsumoto Station (about 10 minutes), and AEON Mall (about 7 minutes). It’s the perfect base for both sightseeing and extended stays. This private house offers spacious accommodations for up to 8 guests, featuring a bedroom, living room, dining area, a fully equipped kitchen, a bathroom with bathtub and shower, separate toilet, balcony, and air conditioning. Amenities like towels and bedding are provided to make your stay comfortable and easy — just like home. Golden Fox Inn is designed to combine modern comfort with traditional Japanese ambiance. You’ll find carefully selected furnishings, kitchenware, appliances, and entertainment options including a TV with Netflix and free Wi-Fi, ideal for both leisure and remote work. On the second floor, there’s even a traditional tea preparation space ("mizuya") for a deeper cultural experience. Self check-in is available for a smooth and contactless arrival. Inside the house, we provide a local guide featuring Matsumoto’s best restaurants, shops, and hidden gems — all personally curated by the host. Come and enjoy a private and relaxing stay while experiencing the rich history and culture of Matsumoto at Golden Fox Inn.
A Warm Welcome from Your Local Host in Matsumoto Hello, I'm Ikuma Nanjo, the host of Golden Fox Inn. Born and raised in Matsumoto, I’ve always been inspired by the city’s rich history, beautiful nature, and traditional charm. I opened this private townhouse inn to share the authentic beauty of Matsumoto with guests from around the world. My goal is to create a space where you can feel at home, whether you're staying for a short visit or a longer retreat. The house is fully equipped with a kitchen, appliances, and fast Wi-Fi, so you can relax, cook, and live like a local during your stay. This place is perfect for those who want to escape the typical hotel experience and enjoy a more personal, cultural stay in Japan. Whether you're looking for a quiet hideaway or a base to explore the city's attractions, I hope this will be your home away from home. I love walking around town and discovering hidden local spots. I’m happy to share recommendations for restaurants, cafes, and places that only locals know. While check-in is contactless for your convenience, I'm always available to help during your stay. Come experience the charm of Matsumoto like a local. I look forward to welcoming you to Golden Fox Inn.
