Hotel berhampiran Nishiyamamiharashi Park, Chino

レセプションは親切な応対。 本館のシングルに宿泊。設備はやや古いが掃除は行き届いていた。 大浴場は6Fにあり、夜と朝で男性用／女性用の入れ替え、露天風呂はやや狭かったが人が少なかったので気持ちよく入浴ができた。 朝食はバイキング形式。和食が中心で種類は多い。パンは3種類と少なかった。 たまたま宿泊した日に諏訪湖の花火大会があり、7階の観覧テラスが開放され、間近で見ることができた。

I stayed in a room with an open-air bath. It was clean and the hot spring water was soft and made my skin smooth. We also visited the large bathroom downstairs, which was spacious and had nice spring water. Dinner was prepared in a separate private room. Again, this was a nice Japanese-style room with a relaxed atmosphere. The food was very tasty from the starters and I felt happy. And the staff were very helpful, both at the front desk and in the restaurant. She saw me off when I left, and at that point she pointed to the roof of the hotel and said, ”Look. I looked at the roof and saw a real heron perched on it. And when we got in the car and started driving away, the heron flew away too. That was the last service at the Saginoyu(Heron’s Bath).

ロケーション、ホテルの設備、朝食、すべて良かったです。お勧めのホテルですね。しいて言うなら露天風呂が外ですが周りに囲いがしてあり景色が見れなかったのは残念ですが。

We stayed at Sui Suwako in late October as part of a long Honshu road trip, and we couldn't be more pleased with our experience at Sui Suwako. It's a hybrid Ryokan/Hotel of sorts... it's a 4-story building that lacks a grand entrance or massive property grounds. But it offers rooms that are modern and comfortably appointed, the Omotenashi hospitality of a family-run Ryokan, an onsen bath in each and every room (as well as a terrific rooftop co-ed bath) as well as a terrific Kaiseki dining experience. Given its location in the middle of Nagano, it also serves as a good overnight rest spot if you're coming to/from places such as Tokyo, Fuji, Nagano, the Hokuriku Region, Tsumago/Magome and Karuizawa. Sui Suwako is located on the banks of the enormous Lake Suwa (”Suwa-ko” in Japanese), although there's a somewhat busy road as well as a small park/boardwalk between the property and the lake itself. It's not in the most secluded of locations, but upon entering the building and walking into the reception/common area you'll find that Sui Suwako is an oasis of tranquility. The furnishings and decor are a combination of traditional and modern - liberal use of brightly-colored wood, large windows facing a small yet charming garden, the earthly tones of the furnishings and a smattering of Shoji (dividers that consist of white, semi-translucent sheets on a lattice frame) lend an airy, homely feel. The same is true in the rooms themselves - it's a country home-style feel that gives it a warm, inviting vibe to the entire place. There are a total of 8 rooms (2 on each of the 4 floors) with two slightly different room categories. We choose to stay in the larger of the two types, dubbed the ”Wide Japanese/Western-style Room with Open-air Hot Spring Bath, 75m².” It's slightly larger than the standard rooms, although every room contains a private, (semi-)open-air Onsen (hot springs) bath with views of Lake Suwa towards the far end of the room that also serves as a terrace of sorts. Our room was on the top (5th) floor with wonderful views of the lake, and was sufficiently spacious with a generously-sized living room and a separate bedroom with two large Western-style beds. Another neat feature of Sui Suwako is the open-air Onsen bath on the roof of the building. It offers commanding views of the lake, and it's also co-ed - unlike most Onsen baths, you're permitted to bathe in bathing suits, which allows for an enjoyable Onsen experience with friends and family of the opposite gender. And, given that only a maximum of 8 group of guests will be staying there at any given time, you're more than likely to have the bath all to yourself than sharing it with other guests. I recommend that you go just before dinner during the sunset hours. It's a gorgeous time to chill out and marvel at the beauty and serenity of the area. The dining experience was definitely a highlight. To start with, meals are served in one's own room (horray!) We love this aspect of the ryoka

一見地味なペンションですが、ご主人の独特の雰囲気、話題の豊富さが楽しみいっぱいでした。食事がないのも、自由な宿と捉えれば最高です。満喫させていただきました。

地點在蓼科平原上，與車站距離半小時車程，山上景色優美，酒店內外環境舒適，是一間有文化和歷史的溫泉酒店，服務員接待殷勤。

Hotel is small but clean. 2 onsen place is available. I stayed here because I want to go to Uchu Brewery. It is within a walking distance. It is amazing

母と2人で10日間宿泊しました。 ホテルは綺麗で、お部屋も清潔で、ベッドも快適でした。 窓から見える山々も美しく、母も喜んでいました。 朝食も悪くはないのですが、 開始時間前から並び、 早く食事を済ませたい方々がほとんどで、時間をずらして遅めに行くと なくなってしまうメニューもありました。 お部屋に持ってきて食べて構わないシステムは大変有難いのですが、持って行ける品数が少なく、お味噌汁とかドリンクは持って部屋に行くのは大変です。 トレーに乗せてご飯やお味噌汁も持っていけると嬉しいです。
