Top rated hotels in Suwa

Hotel Saginoyu
4.4/523 Reviews
I stayed in a room with an open-air bath. It was clean and the hot spring water was soft and made my skin smooth. We also visited the large bathroom downstairs, which was spacious and had nice spring water. Dinner was prepared in a separate private room. Again, this was a nice Japanese-style room with a relaxed atmosphere. The food was very tasty from the starters and I felt happy. And the staff were very helpful, both at the front desk and in the restaurant. She saw me off when I left, and at that point she pointed to the roof of the hotel and said, ”Look. I looked at the roof and saw a real heron perched on it. And when we got in the car and started driving away, the heron flew away too. That was the last service at the Saginoyu(Heron’s Bath).
Kamisuwa Onsen Shinyu
4.4/551 Reviews
We decided to stop in Suwa to break up a long drive back to Tokyo. Shinyu looked very good and the price was reasonable. The hotel is renovated and gives a nice modern spa hotel atmosphere. The greeting at the hotel is very nice and the lobby area is beautiful. We felt very welcomed when we arrived. Our room was facing the lake. It was Japanese style with tatami and futons. Nice room, nice view. The public bath was nice. Not huge but felt very good. They have an indoor bath, small outdoor bath, a sauna and a cold bath. Dinner was great, as was breakfast. They were both courses and delicious. Service? Well, this is what makes all the difference. When we book hotels we need to detail my daughter's food allergies which are serious. For this trip we had booked many hotels in a row and for some reason when we booked Shinyu and checked-in we just forgot. It was our fault and when we sat for dinner we saw her prepared meal that she obviously could not eat. The staff at Shinyu didn't miss a beat. The didn't make a big deal about it. No stress. The quickly adjusted and made a wonderful dinner for my daughter and also prepared for her breakfast in similar fashion. Wonderful. Such great service. Maybe the building isn't perfect. But the service was perfect. Shinyu was our last stop on our trip and we left with a smile. Shinyu gets an ”Excellent” from my family.
Rako Hananoi Hotel
4/517 Reviews
Reception is kind response. Stayed in the single of the main building. The facilities were a bit old but the cleaning was well done. The large bath was located in 6F, and the men's / women's replacement at night and morning, and the open-air bath was a little narrow, but there were few people, so I was able to take a bath comfortably. Breakfast is a Viking form. Japanese food is centered and there are many types. There were three kinds of bread. There was a fireworks festival in Lake Suwa on the day when I happened to stay, and the viewing terrace on the seventh floor was opened and I was able to see it nearby.
Sui Suwako
4.6/514 Reviews
We stayed at Sui Suwako in late October as part of a long Honshu road trip, and we couldn't be more pleased with our experience at Sui Suwako. It's a hybrid Ryokan/Hotel of sorts... it's a 4-story building that lacks a grand entrance or massive property grounds. But it offers rooms that are modern and comfortably appointed, the Omotenashi hospitality of a family-run Ryokan, an onsen bath in each and every room (as well as a terrific rooftop co-ed bath) as well as a terrific Kaiseki dining experience. Given its location in the middle of Nagano, it also serves as a good overnight rest spot if you're coming to/from places such as Tokyo, Fuji, Nagano, the Hokuriku Region, Tsumago/Magome and Karuizawa. Sui Suwako is located on the banks of the enormous Lake Suwa (”Suwa-ko” in Japanese), although there's a somewhat busy road as well as a small park/boardwalk between the property and the lake itself. It's not in the most secluded of locations, but upon entering the building and walking into the reception/common area you'll find that Sui Suwako is an oasis of tranquility. The furnishings and decor are a combination of traditional and modern - liberal use of brightly-colored wood, large windows facing a small yet charming garden, the earthly tones of the furnishings and a smattering of Shoji (dividers that consist of white, semi-translucent sheets on a lattice frame) lend an airy, homely feel. The same is true in the rooms themselves - it's a country home-style feel that gives it a warm, inviting vibe to the entire place. There are a total of 8 rooms (2 on each of the 4 floors) with two slightly different room categories. We choose to stay in the larger of the two types, dubbed the ”Wide Japanese/Western-style Room with Open-air Hot Spring Bath, 75m².” It's slightly larger than the standard rooms, although every room contains a private, (semi-)open-air Onsen (hot springs) bath with views of Lake Suwa towards the far end of the room that also serves as a terrace of sorts. Our room was on the top (5th) floor with wonderful views of the lake, and was sufficiently spacious with a generously-sized living room and a separate bedroom with two large Western-style beds. Another neat feature of Sui Suwako is the open-air Onsen bath on the roof of the building. It offers commanding views of the lake, and it's also co-ed - unlike most Onsen baths, you're permitted to bathe in bathing suits, which allows for an enjoyable Onsen experience with friends and family of the opposite gender. And, given that only a maximum of 8 group of guests will be staying there at any given time, you're more than likely to have the bath all to yourself than sharing it with other guests. I recommend that you go just before dinner during the sunset hours. It's a gorgeous time to chill out and marvel at the beauty and serenity of the area. The dining experience was definitely a highlight. To start with, meals are served in one's own room (horray!) We love this aspect of the ryoka
Nunohan
4/53 Reviews
I stayed on the first day of my trip to Shinshu for about a week. There is no problem with car guidance and customer service of employees such as the front desk. The room I passed through was Yukimiso, where Hibari Misora stayed many times, and it was a very spacious and nice room with two consecutive rooms, an outer corridor, and a cypress bath. However, I have a strong feeling of disappointment when I try to stay. First of all, I felt that I didn't have to worry about the hospitality that I needed as an inn. Despite the splendid alcove, only the flower stand is placed, but there is no vase and no single flower. * It's the landscape itself. In addition, a lantern at bedtime was randomly placed between the two alcove, and it was left as it was when sleeping and was not prepared. If you look at the introductory photo of Nunohan, you can see that the flowers are good and the lanterns are on. The futon prepared at bedtime is too fluent. For cooking, I had ”Kannazuki Shinanoji Kaiseki” in a private room. The female staff in charge was very pleasant and pleasant. Is it a place where the contents and vessels of the dishes are neither good nor bad? You don't feel the fresh surprise that makes you feel shocked. The large communal bath itself was not crowded, and I was able to slowly soak in good hot water. It seems that everyone's evaluation is high overall, but unfortunately it is no if you are satisfied with the accommodation fee for this stay. We like classic hotels and traditional inns and are often taken care of, but this time it was a stay where the goodness of the 160-year tradition was not felt so much. Thinking in total, there will be no revisit.
Shibu No Yu
3/51 Reviews
3 I stayed for running and jogging purposes around Suwa Lake 16 ㎞ in the month. I contacted you in advance before check-in and parked my own. The tatami mats without slippers were basic and the EV was similar. Like the Macachiba Hotel in Thailand and Chiang Mai, there is a difference between the floor and the tatami mats on barefoot, but I liked it very much. The hanging shaft decorated on each floor with a blowout structure was also good. I saw Lake Suwa from the room on the 5 floor. The hot spring was pleasant, but the hot spring temperature was too high 々. Dinner was very delicious with a consciousness of the Hina Festival, but when the person in charge was watching the busy movement between the guests only by one person, the side who was eating was not calm. Overall satisfied.
