The inn was recently renovated and was very clean, including the front lobby and guest rooms.Dinner is full of Nagano-style carp dishes, Shinshu beef shabu-shabu, soba noodles, and more! The birthday cake production was also a great success.It's also nice to have a coffee corner in the lounge and a private bath.I used the private bath, and I was impressed with the Refa hair dryer and shower head that I wanted to try. It's lightweight but has plenty of airflow and dries my hair quickly ♡To celebrate my mother's childhood, all 11 of us came together for a sleepover for the first time in a long while, and we were divided into three rooms.My parents, who were the main actors, stayed in a Japanese-Western style room with a panoramic bath. It was great to be able to choose from a variety of room types, such as a Japanese-style room for a large family and a Japanese-Western room for a small group of us.I felt warm and attentive staff at various times during my stay, and I had a great time.It is a wonderful and memorable inn (๑⃙⃘´༥`๑⃙⃘)

Arrive around 15:15, complete reception and move to roomAlthough it feels old, the room is spacious and I can see Lake Suwa from the window, so I'm satisfied.The hot springs only have a large public bath and an open-air bath, and there is no sauna, but it was not crowded and I was able to take a relaxing bath.There was a clock in the changing room, but I think it would have been nice to have a clock somewhere in the bathroom.Dinner was the Shinshu country cuisine plan.Before I ate the carp, I was told that there might be bones in it, so I was told to be careful, so I was able to eat with caution.The domestic beef had a lot of fat, so I was a little disappointed. didAfter that, I had reserved a private hot spring (), so I went in again.It's 50 minutes, but I took my time here as well.I was somehow imagining an open-air bath, but it was just average.It's recommended for bathing without worrying about your family or other people around you.The employees were also kind and responsive.He also kindly informed me that there was a miso festival going on nearby today, so I left my luggage and headed out right away.I got a great deal with all-you-can-eat miso stuffing.The room and bathroom were clean and I had a comfortable stay.thank you

A family of four staying overnight costs about 24,000 yen.The outside looks old, but the inside is clean.It's nice to have a futon laid out for you, and you don't have to worry about food in Suwa if you have transportation, so staying overnight without meals is more convenient, you can eat whatever you want, and it's cheaper.The bath is colorless and transparent and heated with added water, so it doesn't really feel like a hot spring, but the warmth of the open-air bath is just right and you'll get used to it.

It was truly the best accommodation.The exterior looks old, but the interior has been renovated and is very clean.I went for an upgraded meal plan, and there was more than I could finish, so I was very satisfied.The beef shabu-shabu was very delicious with elegantly sweet meat. In addition, the carp kanroni is a limited edition dish that is only served on certain days, and is rarely available at other restaurants.The most important part, the carp, was very delicious.
