สถานีอาโอยางิ × ที่พักชมดอกไม้โรงแรม·เรียวกังที่ได้รับการจัดอันดับสูง

I visited hoping to experience a European atmosphere, drawn by Tateshina’s location and the Hotel’s attention to detail that I had read about in advance. On my first trip to Tateshina, I was greeted by a deer as soon as I arrived, and I was thrilled by the rich nature and the refined resort-town feel. The Hotel interior felt so French it was almost surreal, and with so many beautiful paintings like an art museum, I could have spent hours finding a favorite. The Room hand soap was Diptyque, and even the amenities, magazines, and books featured colorful design that kept catching my eye. Local craft beer and soft drinks were included, and I was able to relax in the spacious Room and on the balcony. Dinner and breakfast were delicious, and throughout my stay the staff welcomed me warmly with just the right sense of distance—our conversations were enjoyable, making for a very comfortable time. As others have mentioned, since it’s not easy to visit often, it might be nice if you offered souvenirs for sale that would serve as a keepsake of staying at such a wonderful Hotel. Thank you very much for this wonderful 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.

We visited during the July long weekend with our two children, aged 9 and 5. As soon as we entered the Room, we were amazed by the view from the living room. That alone made the trip worthwhile. Everything in the Facility felt spotless, the view from the bath was wonderful, and there was also a washer-dryer and a fully equipped kitchen. We could truly live here. The activities were also incredibly well organized, and our children had an amazing experience. We harvested vegetables together, made pasta using what we picked, and melted beeswax to make herbal lip balm. Our younger child especially loved getting to actually pound the meat, coat it in flour, dip it in egg, and cover it with breadcrumbs. There’s no way I could give anything other than a perfect 5. We would love to visit again.

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.

I love the calm atmosphere of Tateshina Tokyu Hotel and have stayed here several times. Its setting in the forest, the dignified yet unpretentious interiors, and the quiet time you can spend here offer a charm that is hard to find at other hotels. This time was no different, and it reminded me again how much I like this hotel. Also, though it’s a small thing, I really like the toothbrushes in the guest rooms. They’re comfortable to use, and I can feel the hotel’s thoughtfulness even in these details. I hope you will continue with the current ones. On the other hand, precisely because I’ve been coming for many years, there are a few things that disappointed me. The biggest one is that Japanese dinner has been discontinued since this year. On a Multiple Night Stay, we used to enjoy being able to choose “Western tonight, Japanese tomorrow” within the hotel itself. Especially for us—who prefer not to drive once we arrive and instead relax in the forest or inside—the option was very important. French cuisine certainly has its appeal, but having Western meals both nights makes it feel like a slightly different hotel than before. I would be happy if Japanese dinner becomes an option again someday. I was also sorry to hear that the garden pool, long loved by guests, has ended operations starting this year. I understand it was due to aging facilities (Facility), but combined with the end of Japanese dinner options (Facility), it feels as though some of what made Tateshina Tokyu special is gradually disappearing. One more thing I would love to see enhanced is the in-house library collection (Facility). This is such a quiet Hotel where you can relax while looking out at the forest—perfect for reading. The current selection feels lacking not so much in quantity as in curation quality. If there were more books that you’d want to pick up specifically because you came to Tateshina—on Shinshu’s nature and culture, mountains, architecture, travel writing, literature—it would make time spent at this Hotel even richer. I’m not asking for new facilities or services one after another. Rather, I hope you will continue cherishing and preserving what makes this Hotel unique. These comments come from someone who truly likes this Hotel—and I hope to keep visiting for many years to come.

It was a very clean Room with a separate bath and toilet, not a unit bath. The built-in switches for the lighting and other fixtures were also high-end.

Our family stayed in Shimizu for two nights. Needless to say, the Accommodation building itself was wonderful, but the atmosphere of the entire surrounding village was just as charming. Even before our stay, we started with a hands-on sweets-making experience using agar, and after check-out we wrapped up with a tour of Irisen’s agar factory. Our children loved agar so much that even after returning home from our trip, they’ve been enjoying making desserts every week with the dried agar we bought there. The local regional cuisine we ordered through catering was also delicious, and it was a real treat to enjoy dishes freshly prepared in the kitchen from early morning. It’s a place we’d love to visit again in another season.

We stayed for one night starting August 28. After finishing the Hakushu Distillery tour, we checked in around 4:00 PM and enjoyed the garden BBQ from 6:00 PM. Everything was delicious—beef, pork, and seafood, as well as the yakisoba served at the end, salt rice balls, and even dessert—and we were completely satisfied both physically and mentally. The bath is available 24 hours a day, and the far-infrared effect of the stone tub warmed us through to our core. From our Room, we had a stunning view of Mt. Fuji—an unbeatable location. The owner was also very friendly; we enjoyed chatting with them and had a truly relaxing time. This is a pension we would definitely like to stay at again.

Stayed here for the second night after spending the first night at a pension in Kurumayama. The lakeside Japanese-style room was clean and had everything we needed. The Onsen bath was truly amazing. Due to lack of prior checking, we found out that the attached restaurant was closed for dinner that evening. In the morning, we enjoyed a bakery breakfast box at a lakeside table. The bread and scones were delicious, and the honey was exceptional!
