A new story begins in the margins of daily life.

TANDEM, a small guesthouse located in the heart of Matsumoto,
is available for exclusive full-house rentals on select dates.
It’s the perfect place to spend relaxing time with family or close friends,
without worrying about anyone else.
Whether you’re preparing for or returning from a mountain adventure or a nature walk,
TANDEM offers a quiet, warm space to unwind and recharge.

Stay at TANDEM
A small Japanese-style guesthouse with a modern twist —
five rooms in total: four private rooms and one dormitory.

Located in the heart of Matsumoto, TANDEM serves as a gateway to the stunning natural wonders of the Northern Alps—Kamikochi, Mt. Norikura, and Hakuba.
Whether you’re setting out on a mountain adventure or winding down after a day in nature, this city offers a quiet, welcoming pause in your journey.

TANDEM was created not as a place you simply pass through, but as a place you can return to—a second home on your travels.
Before the climb, after the snow, or in between destinations, we hope you’ll find a moment to breathe, to relax, and to reconnect—with yourself or with others.
A quiet conversation. A warm wooden room. A sense of stillness.
These are the small things that create space—space to live, not just travel.

More than just a place to sleep, TANDEM invites you to become part of the town, to travel at your own pace, and to feel at home while on the road.

Rated 4.84★ and Above – A Warm Stay in the Heart of Matsumoto

At TANDEM, hospitality is at the heart of everything we do.
We’re a small, independently-run guesthouse in downtown Matsumoto—and part of a group of three unique stays we operate across the city.

While our staff are beginner-level English speakers, we always do our best to communicate with heart and sincerity. We believe that genuine warmth can bridge any language gap.

Whether you’re heading to Kamikochi, Mt. Norikura, or Hakuba, we hope you’ll find not just a place to stay, but a space where you can truly feel at home.
