ROUTE INN Hotels in Suwa

We stayed here as a family of three (mother and two daughters). We were greeted politely when we arrived at the parking lot by car. The food was also very delicious. The portions were just right for the women, but perhaps not enough for the men. The room and bedding were clean, and all the staff were kind, so we didn't have any unpleasant experiences or inconveniences during our stay. It was an inn that I would like to stay at again when I visit Suwa.

I use it when I go hiking in the Yatsugatake Mountains. It's small, but there are many restaurants nearby, so it's convenient if you're traveling by car.

The location is very good. It is two or three minutes away from the station. Although the waiters do not understand English, they try their best to communicate. There is no separate bathroom in the room, but there is a wash basin to wash your face and brush your teeth. The hot spring water does not seem to be a real hot spring. There is no sulphur smell. When you take a bath. There are many Chinese and English menus in the restaurants there. The waiters don't know how to speak English. They have pictures to see pictures, no pictures, and what to eat next to the Japanese.

Not only is it conveniently located near the station, but the rooms and hot springs are clean, and best of all, the breakfast was amazing. The staff's hospitality is excellent. I would recommend this place to everyone with confidence.

Nice old hotel with windows facing Lake Suwa. The photo is the view looking out. It is about ten minutes' walk from Shangsuwa Station, which is acceptable to children. There is an eel rice nearby that is very delicious. It's a few intersections to the south.

It is purely unexpected to be able to book this old-fashioned Japanese-style hotel on Trip.com. Visiting the city in April is the off-season for tourism, and the price is very cost-effective. There are relatively few small public transportation in the city. After arriving at JR Shangyu Visit Station at night, I walked for 20 minutes to the hotel. The sign at the door ”small hot spring hotel by the lake” is so handsome. The hotel is run by a 50- or 60-year-old couple and the reception is very thoughtful. The room was unexpectedly clean and tidy, with mottled marks on the furniture and the overall style of the hotel, and I thought there would be no smell of tatami mats in the humid environment by the lake. There is a preparation manual in the room. Although there is no Chinese, the content is relatively simple and can be understood. The first floor is a restaurant, and the next door is a small hot spring. The hot spring water quality is clear and the temperature is suitable. The convenience store 5 minutes walk from the hotel is unexpectedly closed at 17:00 pm, and the 24-hour convenience store needs to walk for about 15 minutes. Breakfast is not operated in nearby restaurants, so it is best to experience a classic Japanese breakfast at the hotel for breakfast. Dinner is also available here. The lake view room is facing the lake, bringing a refreshing panoramic view of the lake, while the experience of visiting the lake, the car noise on the lakeside road at night will bring some unpleasantness. Consider it when choosing a room type. Surroundings: There are several restaurants next door to the hotel for lunch. About 10 minutes walk, there is a comprehensive hotel called katakurakan that can rent electric bicycles. It is a good choice to ride around the lake and the city.

Although it is not luxurious, I still feel very comfortable during this trip. After a full day of hiking in Nagano, I stayed in this hotel and took a free outdoor hot spring bath with lake view. It was very comfortable. The breakfast was also very rich. The beautiful view of Lake Suwa is outside the window, which is great!
