"Such a one-of-a-kind experience in the most beautiful historic post town. Can’t recommend this modern ryokan enough!"

"From start to finish, excellent customer service. Checked in at sunset, incredible sunset view from our room overlooking Lake Suwa. The check in process was thorough and explained to great detail. The food was regional, healthy and tasty. All around great traditional ryokan experience, highly recommended."

"Room was clean, toiletries were complete, there’s also provision of sleepwear. Staff were very friendly and helpful."

"The room smelt very badly of stale smoke. We booked a standard room, but didn’t realise that this would be “smoking” (maybe this is normal in Japan and it was our mistake?). But it was a terrible experience. Would not recommend this place at all. "

"good"

"Our experience with this hotel was overall good! Staff was kind and friendly, facilities were a little dated and the lighting inside the room needs updating, pure white light is not the most pleasant, however the traditional Japanese bedroom experience was very cool! Breakfast was also awesome! That alone made this experience super cool!"

"If you are a tourist, this place is only accessible by taxi. If you want to take the bus, make sure you do not have luggage as the city busses are very small. The onsen is really the highlight of the place. "

"Great place."
