4/5
The day before yesterday I stayed in a room for 2 people with 2 meals included, and the location was very difficult to find, so if you check in at dusk, there are no street lights so you have to be very careful. If you're on a motorcycle, you'll be guided under the eaves, which is very nice.The room was a corner room on the 1st floor with 8 tatami mats, and there were no shortage of amenities. The toilet and bathroom are shared, so it's a bit annoying to have to leave your room every time you use the restroom. This can't be helped because the design of the facility is old, but it was very noticeable that there were too few electrical outlets for the size of the room. However, there is WIFI, so it's the bare minimum. Since it was a corner room, noise from other rooms was not included in the evaluation, and there was no noticeable noise.As for the shared bathroom, as mentioned in other reviews, there are only about 4 seats, so you have to be very careful if you are actually using one group first. The usage time is until 22:00 and you can't use it in the morning, so you may be a little dissatisfied with the usage time. I didn't feel that the bathroom was unclean, but is the bathtub a circulation type? It might be quite dirty at the end of the day. . . Other common areas seem to be kept well-maintained, with no signs of uncleanness.As for the food, I wouldn't say it's luxurious, but it's of sufficient quality and quantity, and as per other reviews, it's highly rated.Overall review: Very good value for the cost of accommodation. However, there are many common areas, and it is an old-fashioned inn that feels like a semi-guest house. Although it is a comfortable accommodation with just the right amount of comfort, the only drawbacks are the lack of electrical outlets and the short time spent using the bathroom, so I think it would be even better if these were improved.

2024.10. I stayed for one night on a motorcycle tour. I was grateful that I was able to park my bike in the garage. I reserved a 6 tatami room, but was given an 8 tatami room. What's more, it was convenient that the washroom and toilet were right next to each other. The room is on the second floor and has a nice view of the vineyard from the window. I could also feel the sweet smell of the season. The bath is large enough for 5 people. The bathtub is also about the same size. Please note that there is only one sink in the changing room and the hair dryer is only in the bathroom, so please be prepared for that. I was satisfied that the meals were delicious both in the morning and in the evening. I thought it was a very good value accommodation considering the price.

It was clean and comfortable. The bath was small, but there was no one else there so I was able to use it freely.You can share the microwave, refrigerator, and pot. There was a thermos with hot water in the room.

Suga no Ryokan also holds yoga classes. Vineyards and the Alps can be seen from the large hall. The breakfast was so delicious that it's a model for Japanese mornings 😋 Will definitely visit again.

It feels clean. The food feels like it's freshly made. The public bath is fairly spacious and the TV is medium sized. There are no stink bugs.

I was sleepy in the evening and fell asleep, and when I was taking a bath in the evening, I was told a lot that I shouldn't have taken a bath in the middle of the night.It was my fault too, but I thought she would take it a little more seriously, so I was a little disappointed.
