The hotel is well located at lake front, although our room was on the lower floor and the view was a bit blocked by the fence outside the windows. The staff were extremely helpful and the one served us could speak English. The food was good.The private bath (fee required) inside the public bath has half glass walls so not so private except exclusive use of the facility .Given the price we paid included a free tour of the shrines, we considered it's value for money.
We had an excellent time here. Own private onsen in room, with a wonderful view of the lake. The food and service was excellent. The hotel is very modern, yet still very traditional Japanese. Would love to stay here again.
Excellent location overlooking the lake. The food at the hotel is authentic. There is also the possibility to rent bikes directly at the hotel. Very polite staff.
Amazingly beautiful, high-end onsen hotel. Staff are politely formal and provide excellent service in all aspects. My room had a wonderful view of Lake Suwa & all possible amenities. Breakfast was delicious & serves with elegance.
Great location. The hotel has just new renovated. I love the view of the lake. Foods and services are excellent. Would definitely go back if i am in the neighborhood.
Parking is also free.
All staff are friendly and very helpful.
Only this hotel offer free coach tour for visiting all 4 Suwa Taisha shrines. very blessed.
We enjoyed welcome drink before dinner.
Hotspring bath with sauna room, very relaxing.
they provid not only japanese yukata roves but also pajamas.
Dinner and breakfast were so beautiful and delicious, and they served me a special vegetarian meal. many thanks to the kitchen staff.
I strongly recommend to stay lake view room.
the view was breath taking.

Great location that just next to the lake Suwa. Luckily we can enjoy the Sakura on the riverside through the window of our room.
The service for breakfast and dinner is good and thanks for the recommendation of the staff, Yu, for going to see the Sakura in a castle park nearby. That’s amazing.
Visited for a trip around Lake Suwa and oh boy, this hotel is something special, I had the private onsen in the room and it was one of the most relaxing part of my trip in Japan. They also offered public a onsen for hotel guests and you can also book that to have that one private. Over all can't recommend this hotel enough, staff was friendly and breakfast was excellent if you want a taste of a traditional Japanese meal. There is also a bike rental right across the street next to Lake Suwa. Bike trip all around the lake is maybe around 4 hours or less.
10/10 Swore I saw a Shrine Maiden with green hair walking around.
The location of hotel is right in front of Lake Suwa Park, the like shore is just across the road. A very relaxing vibe in this area.
Staffs at carpark and concierge are very friendly and helpful.
The interior environment of common area and room is stylish, new and clean. I stayed in lake view room with excellent view of Lake Suwa.
Onsen is relatively basic and simple.
Dinner and breakfast are good but not very outstanding. Selection of sake is disappointing for an onsen hotel in the city of Suwa, I did expect much bigger range of sake selection with so many famous sake kura in Suwa and Nagano.
The accommodation was better than expected. The internal balcony made the room more usable and it felt larger than we expected. It was lovely to sit on the balcony to unwind and look at the view.
The private dining experience (i think this is standard for those choosing the 1/2 board option) was a highlight. Course after course delughted us. The wait staff were excellent, very attentive and explained things well to us. Their patience was amazing, given our poor to non existent Japanese.
It is styled as a health retreat with menus chosen to be healthy and it has facilities such as the very pleasant onsen.
highly recommend a stay here.
This was my first Ryokan experience, and it was incredible.
Shinkai used Lake Suwa as the inspiration for Tomorrow in Your Name. As a huge fan of the film, I wanted to visit Suwa to see the place for myself, and wanted to do it while staying at a Ryokan. Shinyu offered a room with a lake view, so it sounded perfect.
Every staff member was incredibly friendly. For English speakers, they have all the important information in English and most of the staff spoke English well enough to be able to help you out. Don't worry if you don't speak Japanese!
Top tip: if you speak "tourist level" Japanese like me, at dinner, just use English. They have English menus with descriptions of the food and an English speaking staff member will attend to you. I didn't do this, and the staff member passionately explained the origins of the appetisers. I understood almost none of it, and felt very guilty afterwards for letting him speak!
After a lovely dinner and relaxing soak in the Onsen, I watched Your Name in front of the lake view. If that sounds perfect to you, do yourself a favour and go!
On the way out, I mentioned to a lovely staff member that I came because of Your Name, and she recommended visiting Tateishi Koen before I left. If you're reading this: thank you so much for being thoughtful and recommending that. It was nothing more or less, than a breathtaking view.
Fantastic Ryokan in a fantastic location.
The staff treated us like royalty. They anticipated our needs and satisfied all of our demands. The hot spring rice, hot, hot hot, and the Japanese breakfast was magnificent. They offered a tour of the four grand shrines,and did an amazing job of explaining everything to us. There was not a vacancy for days on end, and now we can understand why thank you.
This was a great experience. If you are looking for a nice break from hustle of big city and really try ryokan and onsen (with ability to use private onsen) - I would highly recommend it
Had a wonderful Lake view and we were able to enjoy the tatami beds. Staff was so helpful. We needed to leave before breakfast started so they packed us a breakfast! They also arranged a taxi. Lovely stay
I recommend to reserve the private onsen and the shuttle around thr city with at least a month of anticipation. We got to use the onsen just once and there wasn't any place for the shuttle.
Lovely locations as it’s right where the lake Suwa is, just walk across the road and it’s the lane. And there is a bicycle rental at the lake so it’s perfect place to stay and rent a bicycle for the day to cycle around the lake. 16km to complete a full perimeter of the late. It’s a MUST do, lovely.
