Shinshu Kamisuwa Onsen Hotel Saginoyu, an Inn with Amber-Colored Private Hot Spring Source

Nagano Prefecture/Suwa

Located by Lake Suwa, a Ryokan with Onsen directly sourced from its own spring.

Nestled in the rich natural beauty of Shinshu Kamisuwa Onsen, a place nurtured by tradition, culture, and heartfelt hospitality. "Hotel Saginoyu," a long-established Property in Kamisuwa that has walked alongside Lake Suwa, is a romantic Property with over 90 years of history, featuring its own amber-colored Onsen source. Overlooking the tranquil lake, it is a place where people gather, hearts bloom, and the romance and dreams left behind by many predecessors at Saginoyu are carried forward. Embracing the changes of the four seasons and the rhythms of nature, we welcome you to our Property, where we renew the spirit of the elegance cherished by us Japanese, and offer heartfelt hospitality.

  • The staff’s attentiveness and care throughout the property were excellent. The meals were also outstanding, and we enjoyed them very much. The baths were great, and I used the in-Room bath dozens of times. I was able to relax at ease and unwind from everyday fatigue and stress. It was such an enjoyable stay that I would love to visit again. Thank you very much.

  • We stayed in a Room with a private open-air bath, and the open-air bath while looking out over Lake Suwa was amazing. The Onsen water was pleasantly soft, and we went in many times. The meals were excellent. The extra steak was delicious, but it would have been more than enough even without it. Breakfast was also very satisfying. We’d love to visit again.
