Best Shimosuwa Hotels

This time, I wanted to enjoy the hot springs at my own pace, so I made a reservation at Gingetsu (one night stay, no midnight snack, breakfast included). It was a 5-minute walk from Suwa Taisha Shimosha and Akimiya (15 minutes from Shimosha and Harumiya), so it was the perfect location for those who love shrines and temples. It's located in a quiet town, so it's a quiet and calm location. It's a hot spring inn with a total of about 15 rooms, so it wasn't crowded and I was able to enjoy the hot springs at my own pace in the indoor bath and the open-air bath (private time available). The hot spring had a very soft texture, and the temperature was just right, so it didn't sting my skin. When I was wondering what to do for dinner, when I checked in, the staff showed me a map of Shimo-Suwa and recommended some nearby restaurants. I got the impression that they were proactive in providing information about the neighborhood, perhaps to encourage people to visit nearby shops. If you have any questions, feel free to ask the front desk. The room's refrigerator was stocked with delicious charcoal water, and the thermos was stocked with hot water, so it was nice to be able to hydrate my tired body and have hot tea right away when I had time to calm down. I was expecting breakfast to be something simple like rice, miso soup, natto, and hot spring water*, but there was a wide variety of dishes, including salad, several small side dishes, and grilled fish, and I was able to enjoy local ingredients, so it was a very satisfying breakfast. I think this is a historic hot spring inn, so there are stains on the carpet in the hallway and wear on the sliding door handles in the rooms that have come with age, but the shoji screens are not torn and the hotel is very clean despite its age, and I was very happy with the price range. I would like to use it again when I visit Shimo-Suwa.

全体的に古く、隣の人の音が聞こえる。フロントの人も普通だが、少しそっけない感じだった。寝るのにはよいが、駅からは少し遠い。

距離上諏訪車站步行需15分鐘，相比車站周邊的酒店。步行較遠，而且公共交通幾乎可以説是沒有，但是勝在價格便宜，雖然是情趣酒店，但是。並不會有什麼不適，房間設施各方面可以完勝車站周邊的酒店

The beautiful Japanese room, and the indoor gift of grape jelly, a local specialty of Nagano Prefecture, went to the souvenir shop on the first floor to buy it immediately after tasting it. The tatami experience is very good, the lake view is beautiful, and it makes people feel peaceful. The hot spring is also very comfortable, and I want to visit again.

房間設施比較老舊，衞生標準是我這次出行日本各地比價差的。位置周邊有些荒涼。

Extremely satisfying hotel. In the area of Shanghai, this hot spring hotel is considered one of the highest. First of all, the environment of the independent small courtyard is very elegant, and all 8 rooms are facing the beautiful lake view, especially the beautiful scenery under the sunset, which is really pleasing to the eye. Secondly, the room is not only large, but also has a separate hot spring pool. Everything in the room is fine, and it is no problem to come here empty-handed. Toiletries, razors, various skin care and hair products, all have. You can also go to the mixed bath hot springs on the top floor of the 6th floor. The idea here is very chic, when entering the hot spring, men and women must wear a special clothes, similar to swimsuits. Again, each room has a separate dining room, and walk past it for three seconds. Then there is a local bar on the ground floor that offers locally produced sake. Finally, walking across the small road is to visit the lake, and you can walk to the station in 8 minutes, which is really convenient. There are many restaurants around, no need to worry.

This time I was lucky because the parking lot on the hotel side was vacant. The view from the room is in front of the station, so I shouldn't expect it. Breakfast buffet is good with a selection of 々.

We stayed here as a family of three (mother and two daughters). We were greeted politely when we arrived at the parking lot by car. The food was also very delicious. The portions were just right for the women, but perhaps not enough for the men. The room and bedding were clean, and all the staff were kind, so we didn't have any unpleasant experiences or inconveniences during our stay. It was an inn that I would like to stay at again when I visit Suwa.
