Ryokan in Chiisagata District

"We enjoyed our stay! Friendly staff!"

"It was a traditional ryokan on the edge of town."

"Really enjoyed our short stay and visiting this area. Walkable distance from the station and lake. A full Japanese-style breakfast was beautifully presented with some alternatives also on offer - fruit, eggs, bacon etc. We visited in May when the hotel and Suwa generally were very quiet so we were able to enjoy the hotel facilitie - the modern reception area and onsen. Good size room with twin beds. Go for one with a lake view if possible."

"No wifi inside the room! How come? No cold water in the bathroom, only hot water..... asked to pay for the hot spring entrance but I was not told when booking! "

"Food was excellent and staff were very friendly and helpful, although didn't speak much english. The only downside was the facility was a bit worn -stained carpets, peeling wallpaper, and musty smell "

"Loved it! Authentic and comfortable. Great location. Great hosts! "

"Very nice ryokan to stay. Friendly and helpful staff."

"Beautiful hotel lobby and very friendly staff. Location can be a challenge to get to if the roads are snowy. 4WD / snow tire or chains a must in winter. "

"A really old-fashioned Japanese onsen experience like nothing else. We ate in the Japanese restaurant one night and French the other evening. The food was fantastic. Rooms were comfortable but old fashioned. I would highly recommend the room with a private onsen - we saw tanuke (Japanese raccoon dogs) approach whilst we were bathing which was a really special experience. We hiked to the ridge (5 hours return) through a beautiful forest."

"Terrific hospitality, made us feel right at home before it was even time to check in. Worth every penny."

"The hospitality of the hosts were amazing! The food offered was delicious and the onsen was clean, safe and great."

"The room was spacious and well-kept. The owner was very nice and welcoming."
