Kamisuwa Onsen Aburaya Ryokan

I stayed one night with breakfast only, and the rate was reasonably priced through Yahoo Travel, so I had no issues at all.The Onsen Facility and the guest room were very clean, and I had no complaints whatsoever.The breakfast buffet was also very delicious—thank you for the wonderful meal!

Although Lake Suwa is usually close enough for a day trip, I decided to stay overnight to relax and enjoy the Onsen a little longer. I checked the parking in advance, but still got slightly lost. Since it was raining, I arrived at the Ryokan a bit early, and there were already many guests. I usually stay in a Hotel with a bed, but this time I was able to unwind in a tatami Room at the Ryokan.Dinner was a creative Japanese set meal with a half buffet, and it was very satisfying. The Onsen baths included one on the 1st floor and an open-air bath on the 7th floor; from the 7th-floor open-air bath, I could see Lake Suwa and the nearby mountains, which I truly enjoyed. This stay reminded me of what makes a Ryokan special.The Lake Suwa area has its own charm in every season, and I would like to come back for another relaxing stay. Thank you to all the staff for your kind service—especially for guiding me to a spacious parking area despite the rain, as my car is slightly large.
