Next to Suwa Taisha, an accommodation with a renowned garden and hot springs steeped in history and culture.
Experience the rich history of the former main Accommodation of Nakasendo Shimosuwa-juku, which has stood for centuries. Enjoy the renovated lounge "Jodan-no-Ma," originally created for Princess Kazunomiya and other dignitaries, a garden once praised as the finest along Nakasendo, and guest rooms beloved by literary masters of the Meiji era. Relish your time while feeling the solemn breeze from Suwa Taisha Shrine.
We arrived a little early, kindly left our car, and took a stroll around the area. Right away, we visited Suwa Taisha Shimosha Akimiya Shrine next door. In the backstreets of this historic townscape, you can find Onsen springs here and there—perfect for wandering at leisure. Both inside and outside the property felt very clean, showing careful management throughout. The staff’s smiles, service, and conversation were all refined; we truly felt their hospitality and attentiveness, which made our stay very comfortable. From the Room we stayed in—named “Kirishima”—we enjoyed a view of the grove surrounding Suwa Taisha Shimosha Akimiya Shrine, full of charm and atmosphere. Both dinner and breakfast featured local ingredients, and everything was delicious. We could also sense how dedicated the staff were, which made dining even more enjoyable. Bathing in the panoramic large public bath while looking out over the townscape glowing at dusk was exceptional. The water was a gentle Onsen that seemed to softly cling to the skin. Although it wasn’t in our original plans, we stopped by Harmo Museum about 7–8 minutes away by car after receiving a recommendation as we checked out. Driving along the well-maintained lakeside of Lake Suwa and enjoying wonderful paintings became a great memory for us. It was a truly relaxing Accommodation for adults—wonderful in every way. Thank you very much.
けんとはる 8/11/2026This is a historic Ryokan located in the heart of Shimosuwa-juku on the Nakasendo. The Room had been renovated and was very clean. From the bath on the top floor, we could overlook the town of Shimosuwa and, beyond it, Lake Suwa—it had a wonderful atmosphere. Dinner was an elaborate Japanese set menu prepared by the head chef, and it was absolutely delicious. It is also close to Suwa Taisha Shimosha Akimiya Shrine, making it convenient for sightseeing.
