The food was delicious and wonderfully unique! Clear soup with junsai and clams (in addition to a hearty miso soup!), plus plenty of seasonal fruit (Shine Muscat grapes, red and green-fleshed melon), Matsumoto watermelon, and more. Everything felt more thoughtfully prepared than what I’ve had elsewhere, and I enjoyed it very much. Thank you for the wonderful meal!

The property, amenities, and hospitality were all excellent, and we happened to be able to watch fireflies as well, making our stay extremely satisfying.

We decided to stay here the day before. The food and rice were delicious, and we were truly impressed by the many dishes thoughtfully created to pair perfectly with the rice. The menu wasn’t overcomplicated, which was wonderful. The clean, beautifully prepared dishes—centered around locally grown vegetables—were outstanding. The bath had no steps, so it felt safe and reassuring for bringing my elderly mother. The complimentary beer service was also excellent. There wasn’t a single negative point. Thank you for a wonderful time and experience.

The renovated Room was spotless and very comfortable. The drink corner was available from before breakfast until after dinner, which was a great value.

The Hotel is located due east of Lake Suwa. The main building has windows facing north and south, while the annex (Palace Wing) has windows facing east and west. Summer fireworks go up due north of the Hotel. If you are coming for the fireworks, it seems best to book a Room on the north side of the main building; if you want lake views and sunsets, a west-facing Room in the annex is recommended. (The “Floor Plan” on the Hotel’s official website is easy to understand.) Enter from the south side of the Hotel and head east into the large parking lot in front of the Hotel (south side). Leave your luggage with a bell person and park in an available space. Check in at reception. Your luggage will be taken to your Room on a cart. The Room is clean, stylish, bright, comfortable, and recently renovated. Along the large north-facing window there is a long counter and chairs. To the left you can see Lake Suwa; to the right, beyond the Japanese Red Cross hospital building, you can view Suwa town and the northern mountains. The night view is also beautiful. There is no view from the unit bath. At showtime, lights in buildings around town dim, and fireworks rise due north for about 10 minutes. There seems to be music as well, but it cannot be heard from inside the Room. The private bath “Anzu” is a scenic bath with a large window opening to the north. The private open-air bath “Karin” faces west but is screened by fencing for privacy. Both are spacious enough, have two washing stations each, and are clean. The Chinese cuisine is refined yet easy to enjoy. Most tables are families so it stays quiet, though there may occasionally be groups drinking loudly. The breakfast buffet is also excellent. There is a long counter on the west side where you can dine facing the lake as well (first come, first served). Breakfast hours are set generously long, and estimated busy times are posted as guidance. This Review rating reflects my personal impression assuming “3” means fair value for money at this price point.

The cuisine, hospitality, Onsen, location, and bicycle rentals—everything was wonderful.

This is my regular place to stay in Chino. The rooms are like a standard business hotel, but the soundproofing is excellent. This time my room was next to the elevator, yet I heard nothing at all. It seemed nearly fully booked, but I couldn’t hear any noise from other rooms either—perfect for a quiet stay. The owner’s dog, whom I often see in the morning and evening, is absolutely adorable, and I always look forward to saying hello on each visit. There is a large hot-spring bath on the first floor with wonderful water quality. It’s open from 6:00 a.m., so I hardly ever use the bathtub in my room. After soaking, there’s also a massage chair room where you can fully unwind from travel or work fatigue. In the morning, complimentary coffee is available next to the front desk, and it’s very good—I enjoy it every time. The entire building is non-smoking, but there is a designated smoking area by the entrance, so it isn’t inconvenient. It feels like the best of both worlds: an onsen ryokan and a business hotel combined. Every time I stay here, I tell myself that next time I’ll try the breakfast buffet.

We stayed in a detached Room. There were four of us, and it was very spacious with a beautiful interior—we were extremely satisfied. From the open-air bath on the 11th floor, we had a panoramic view of Lake Suwa. The meals also included free alcoholic beverages, and the staff were very attentive, so we had a truly wonderful time. Thank you very much.

The hospitality and service were very pleasant. The breakfast—especially your signature curry—was delicious, though I would have liked a few more menu items.

I made a Reservation in a hurry due to unforeseen circumstances and ended up making several mistakes, but the front desk staff were very kind and helpful. Although the building and Facility feel a bit dated, the room was more spacious than expected, I was able to fully relax and enjoy the Onsen, and breakfast was properly prepared and delicious. Overall, I was more satisfied than I had imagined. I would definitely like to stay here again. Thank you very much.

I stayed here to attend a festival and visit acquaintances. Since I arrived a bit early for check-in, I had to wait in the lobby, but the Room is on the first floor without needing an elevator, so it was stress-free. The Room air conditioner wasn’t on, and the heat when I entered was intense. The power turns on by inserting a long plastic stick attached to the key, so I wished there were a spare stick available. The large public bath was great—I could stretch out my legs and relax. There were even guests sleeping at the edge of the bath (lol). If you’re used to auto-locks, you might forget to lock the door, so be sure to check before going to sleep! When going out, I left my key at the front desk. Breakfast has a wide variety and is delicious—be careful not to overeat. All of the staff greeted me with wonderful smiles and provided pleasant service. I’d like to stay here again when I’m in the area.

We stayed for one night from July 17 in a K-type log cabin in the main building with one dog. The entrance door lock was a little difficult to use. The Room was very clean, and it had a washlet toilet and air conditioning, so we were very comfortable. We ordered the BBQ set, and it was delicious. We also used the outdoor bath, which felt great. We would definitely like to stay again.

I stayed at Naritaya at Suwa Onsen Hotel again for the first time in a while.\nThe Facility is old, but it was well cleaned and I had a comfortable stay.\nAbove all, the panoramic Onsen on the top floor was wonderful.\nI also enjoyed a delicious homemade breakfast.\nThank you very much.

I would have been happy if there had been an Onsen within walking distance nearby. The staff were very helpful, from guiding us to the parking lot to handling check-in and check-out. Some breakfast items ran out, so I would have liked better restocking.

Our family of four stayed at “Shimizu” for three nights. We’ve stayed here before, and once again it reminded us that this Accommodation isn’t just a place to sleep between sightseeing—it’s a place where the time spent in the traditional house itself becomes part of the trip. In the mornings, the kids played on the veranda, we took short walks, and in the evenings we simply relaxed. Our two-year-old especially loved it; even on our last day, they kept saying, “Let’s go back to the Shimizu house.” On our first night we ordered the apple wagyu sukiyaki set, and on another day we requested breakfast—seasonal chestnut rice that delighted the kids. It was also fun to buy local corn and vegetables at A-Coop and farm stands and cook for ourselves; we even turned leftover corn rice into rice balls for breakfast the next morning. Having meals at our own pace—so different from a Hotel or Ryokan—was truly wonderful. The kitchen and utensils were easy to use too; I liked the knife and cutting board so much I tried to find the same ones after we got home (seriously). One pleasant surprise was how close everything is despite being in a small village at the foot of Yatsugatake. A-Coop, Hamarano-en, Glacerie Pepin, Soba 12 Months, Sanroku Cafe, and more are all within 10 minutes by car. The yakiniku restaurant Mishakatei that we reserved for dinner is in Sasahara itself, and Shirakaba Lake / Kurumayama are about 20–30 minutes away. When we forgot a charging cable, it was only about seven minutes to a convenience store—which saved us. That said, having a car is pretty much essential if you want full freedom. And yet once you’re back in Sasahara, it feels completely surrounded by mountains. The morning air was so fresh it almost felt like waking up at a mountain hut. That contrast—“truly in nature” but “everything is close with a short drive”—is what makes Shimizu so special. The person who handled check-in also lives in this village area, and it was lovely to hear local tips—like how freshly harvested vegetables are sold nearby at Sasahara Machizukuri Council (within walking distance). Rather than simply staying at a tourist destination, it feels like you get to step into everyday life here for a little while. This time we also enjoyed eating out—eel dishes, soba noodles, cafes, yakiniku—and more. On busy holiday days some places were too crowded to get into—but then we’d buy ingredients locally instead and come back here: eating taiyaki on the veranda or watching dusk settle in. Those ordinary moments ended up being my strongest memories from this trip. Even three nights went by far too quickly. This Accommodation suits spending time as if you’re living quietly in Chino rather than packing your schedule with sightseeing. Next time I’d love to stay longer.

The Accommodation’s atmosphere and the staff were excellent. We were also happy to enjoy freshly harvested mountain delicacies. We would love to visit again.

The jinbei loungewear was very comfortable to wear. I even went to the breakfast restaurant wearing it. Breakfast also offered a good variety—Japanese and Western dishes as well as desserts—considering the reasonable Accommodation Fee. There was a Doutor coffee machine in the lobby, which I also enjoyed.

This was the best cottage I have ever stayed at. The surrounding environment, customer service, Onsen, and everything else were excellent, offering great overall value for money. The cottages are spaced out just right, allowing for a pleasant and relaxing time. The only downsides I noticed were that the BBQ grill (U-shaped groove) was too high, making it far from the charcoal and requiring adjustments, and that since an IH stove is used, only compatible kettles could be used while non-compatible ones could not. The galette I tried for the first time was also delicious. I will definitely stay here again. Thank you very much!

I stayed here solo. Check-in was at the front desk on the first floor of the building across the street. The building where I stayed did not seem to have staff on-site, but it was reassuring that there was a front desk in the building opposite. The Room was simple, the linens were clean, and the shared toilets and bath were also clean. I would like to stay here again when I visit Chino.

I asked in advance about parking and was told to check with the front desk on the day, so I did. However, while I was asking at the front desk, I temporarily parked in a nearby hospital parking lot. Where should I have parked instead? That was my only concern.
