Itoya Japanese restaurant - g.co/kgs/5KDfiSM (Great for vegans and they have both non-alcoholic and alcoholic home made drinks and wines)
QUICK TIP- You can book hotels in Matsumoto, or also 1 or 2 stations away from it, I believe in exploring other cities nearby as well, but if you do not want to take buses back and forth from Matsumoto you can choose other hotels near Matsumoto station.
Stay tuned for the next video where I explore the stunning Kamikochi, a hidden gem in the Japanese Alps! Don’t forget to like, comment, and subscribe to follow my entire adventure! 🎥✨
