This is a guesthouse located in a location overlooking Lake Suwa. Although you can't expect luxury, you can stay at a reasonable price. …

I stayed here in between climbing Mt. Amagodake and Mt. Hachibuse.For only 5,000 yen without meals, you'll get a clean bed, refrigerator, microwave, air conditioner, TV, indoor bathroom, hot spring (communal bath), tea and water server, and WIFI, as well as a beautiful view of Lake Suwa right in front of you. I'm satisfied.There are restaurants and convenience stores nearby, so you won't have any trouble finding food.

[At Rakuten Travel] Non-smoking lake view Japanese-Western corner room (tj10)Room with a view of Lake Suwa, bath and toilet, air conditioning, large TV, refrigerator, LAN, up to 4 peopleI stayed for 3 nights for telework, but I overlooked the warning that I could not be in my room from 10:00 to 16:00 and had to go out. However, the couple who ran the inn told me where I could stay nearby and He was a very nice and nice person. I don't get enough exercise if I stay in my room all the time, so I was guided around the promenade along Lake Suwa, so I was able to spend some time taking a walk. The room was very spacious as it can accommodate up to 4 people. There was one bed, one sofa bed, and a round table (about 60cm in diameter), so it was so spacious that even if you unfolded your suitcase, there was still plenty of space. It's a corner room with windows on two sides and plenty of light, and you can see Lake Suwa spreading out in front of you! I wanted to work while looking at Lake Suwa with the lace curtains open, but there was a road right in front of me and there was a lot of traffic, especially on weekends, so even though I was on the second floor, I felt like I could see everything, so I opened the lace curtains. could not be opened. There was also an air purifier! There is a vacuum cleaner and deodorizing spray in the shared space, so I didn't ask them to clean it every day, but I borrowed it when I returned after 4pm. Therefore, I was able to go out without having to pack up my belongings, so I felt comfortable when I returned. Perhaps there were a lot of men, but I was able to use the women's bath (hot spring) whenever I wanted! Although it feels old, it is a luxurious private hot spring as you can enter with a key from inside! There was a unit bath in the room, but the toilet and sink in the shared space were separate and spacious, so I borrowed the sink.It was convenient that there was not only a refrigerator and freezer, but also a microwave!It is about a 10 minute walk to Kurasuwa. It takes about 7 minutes to reach the Lake Suwa Geyser Center on the way. There is also a place next to the center where you can soak in a soothing footbath while looking out at Lake Suwa.Although it can't be helped that the inn is old, it is kept very clean and the location is perfect. If you want to keep accommodation costs down, you can share a room, but Ahiru-san is a recommended guesthouse where you can stay in a separate room at the same level.

Thank you for your help during my long business trip.The staff at the shop are very kind, and the hot springs are a great way to relieve your fatigue.I would like to go there privately next time.

I stayed there twice during a touring trip in early spring. Although the price was reasonable, the Japanese-style room was bright and clean, and even with bedding included, there was plenty of space, so I was able to rest calmly. Even at night, it doesn't feel lonely because it faces the street of Lake Suwa, so you can feel safe even if you leave your vehicle there.Also, I was told that I could leave my key behind whenever I checked out, so I was very flexible. The owner and his wife are also soft-spoken and polite. I think it's a good guest house that is more expensive than it is.

It's located in a place along the lake where there are a lot of cars, so if you easily park in the parking lot in front of the store, you might have a hard time getting out onto the road. It can be said to be a typical guesthouse. Toilets and baths are basically shared. This is a self-serve tea and water system installed in the hallway. However, although it is small, the communal bath is a hot spring, and when you bathe in it, your body will be warm and your skin will be smooth. You pay for your stay in advance, but you will be charged a bathing tax (150 yen per person). It's a very hot hot spring...so you have to be careful to make sure it's at the right temperature when you enter (lol)You will stay overnight without meals (no food will be served). There was a washing machine at the entrance on the first floor. Air conditioner, refrigerator, and microwave are installed in the room.

Accommodation prices in the prefecture have skyrocketed after the coronavirus outbreak, and on a weekend when it was difficult to make reservations, they offered me a place to stay at a reasonable price.It's about a 15 minute walk from Kamisuwa Station. If the weather isn't bad, it's just the right distance for a walk along the lake. As mentioned in the reviews, the bath is small and the water is hot. In front of you is the road, and beyond that is the view of Lake Suwa. The windows were double glazed so I didn't hear any car noise.

Only one person can enter the hot springs.The room is good.It would be better to go shopping after shopping at a nearby convenience store.
