Nbm,


Agree. Loisir Hotel looks to be in a perfect location. Not driving in this trip. So near the train station is a must. Did u stay in Loisir, too? Would you stay there again when you revisit? Any other hotel options nearby that look decent enough? Not looking for atas places to stay. Thanks.

Can try this hotel

Thanks! I'm thinking of going, but not sure if I should go in Autumn or spring. Have read lots on the internet but still can't decide, that's why I posted a question here, wondering of anyone who has been can share an opinion. The autumn colours look nice but we'll miss snow wall.

I'm considering going via Nagoya, go Kiso Valley, then move on to the alpine route. Then go matsumoto, as I want to see the black castle, which is one of the 3 best in Japan, since I have already seen the other 2 best in Himeji and Kumamoto, then return via Tokyo.

I would say depends on individual preference and experience ba.

personally I would go for the snow wall, something unique.
autumn foliage is not very uncommon.
