This inn is suitable for people who are ``a generous man who doesn't mind anything if he can sleep!''good point・Family-run business? The employees are kind・People who come here for things related to Lake Suwa will be very satisfied (view, location)Not so good・Facilities are too old (bathroom, room door, toilet in guest room without washlet, sink (only water comes out))・Even though it was midwinter, they didn't take the time to heat up the room and turn on the heater (it was on, but it was very cold)-The changing area in the bathroom was too cold, and the sink there was covered with dust, as if it hadn't been cleaned. dirty.・It's a bath like the one above, so I don't want to use it in the morning because it's too cold, but there's only a sink in the room that only produces water, so if you want to wash properly, it's a pain.I'm a woman and I stayed there because I was going on a day trip to Mt. Yatsugatake the next day, but I regret that I should have stayed at a business hotel like a regular route in. Lake Suwa wasn't the most important thing, so I think it was my fault. I wouldn't want to stay even for 3,000 yen if it didn't have a view of Lake Suwa.Since the location is so good, why not spend money on renovating it? I think the price could go up even more if it was renovated.I wonder if they are aiming to eventually become obsolete and close down...

This is a pension-style inn that can be used for multiple nights without meals. There is a shared refrigerator and microwave for guests to use in the hallway. During your stay, they will clean your room briefly, change your towels and bath clothes, and allow you to bathe in the hot springs 24 hours a day. The facility is old. Right in front of Lake Suwa, you can go out to the lake from the garden.

5/5
It was a simple and lovely accommodation. The main entrance is by the road. Parking lot is available. The lady owner was really nice, cheerful and accommodating over the phone and in person. Restaurant is available on the first floor. You can select a room with breakfast/dinner or none at all. There are only a few rooms so make sure to make a reservation. Room is spacious. Toilet and sink inside. There’s television, ac, heater, table and chairs, tea set, water heater, hangers. Towels, face towels, yukata and toothbrushes with toothpaste are also provided. Fridge and microwave are shared so it is outside of the room on the same floor. Onsen and shower is on the first floor. There is a great view of the lake in your room and luckily when we visited, there was a 20 min firework across the river. Highly recommended 😊
