羽场站 (长野县) × 以夕阳闻名的住宿设施・设备评价高的酒店·日式旅馆

The hotel is located due east of Lake Suwa. The main building has north- and south-facing windows, while the annex (Palace Wing) has east- and west-facing windows. Summer fireworks go up due north of the hotel. If you’re coming for the fireworks, a north-side room in the main building seems best; if you want lake views and sunsets, a west-side 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 main entrance (south side). Leave your luggage with a bell attendant and park in an available space. Check in at the front desk, and your luggage will be brought 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 with 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 this hot-spring town dim down, and fireworks are launched 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 indoor bath with a large window facing north. The private open-air bath “Karin” faces west but is screened by fencing for privacy. Both are spacious enough, clean, and have two washing stations each. The Chinese cuisine offers refined flavors that are easy to enjoy. Most tables are families so it’s generally quiet, though there may occasionally be groups drinking loudly. The breakfast buffet is also excellent. There’s 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 for reference. My review rating reflects my personal opinion using 3 as “fair for what you pay.”
