Experience the historic hot spring "Wata no Yu" at the foot of Suwa Taisha.

Enjoy a variety of colorful dishes made with carefully selected seasonal ingredients from Shinshu in the comfort of your Room. Additionally, indulge in the luxurious "Cotton Hot Spring" associated with the goddess legend of Suwa Taisha, flowing directly from the source. This Property takes pride in its creative cuisine and source-flowing Onsen.

  • In its calm setting, this Accommodation had the quiet charm of Shimosuwa and gently helped me unwind from the fatigue of travel.The bath was “Wata no Yu.”The water felt soft and soothing on the skin, warming me through to the core.There is also a private open-air bath, and it was wonderfully relaxing to soak in silence without worrying about anyone around.Breakfast was unhurried as well, and I could enjoy it slowly in a peaceful atmosphere.Combined with Shimosuwa’s crisp morning air, it felt like a time that refreshed even my mind.It’s also conveniently located for visiting Suwa Taisha Shrine and exploring Shimosuwa on foot—an Accommodation I’d love to return to.

  • 1) With free-flowing natural Onsen water, I could bathe as many times as I wanted 24 hours a day. Perhaps thanks to the Onsen minerals, I’d been having trouble sleeping lately, but I was able to sleep a full six hours. 2) Shimosuwa Akimiya Shrine is nearby, and visiting from early morning left me feeling refreshed. 3) Breakfast was excellent and well balanced nutritionally. The rice was served in an ohitsu tub, and I enjoyed plenty. The grilled salmon and pickles were delicious. 4) The location is great, and the drive there was enjoyable with stops at roadside stations along the way. Overall, this Accommodation comes highly recommended. Thank you very much.
