Backed by Lake Suwa, this ryokan reveals an atmosphere filled with serenity. Light wood and tatami dominate every space, from the soothing floor of the lobby to the secret thermal baths where the warm and beneficial water envelops visitors. The whole invites escape, punctuated by relaxing massages and the gentle warmth of massage chairs, freely available to extend the wellness experience. A symbiosis between simplicity and harmony breathes in these places, like a discreet dialogue with the surrounding landscape.
Playing on timeless elegance, the Japanese-style rooms offer a quiet retreat. The traditional futon, placed on a perfectly arranged tatami, promises a sleep cradled in Japanese sweetness. Although the bathrooms are communal, the comfort of the rooms, complemented by modern amenities such as a flat-screen TV, meets expectations. Each room becomes a sanctuary, open to soft light and minimalist decor, a universe conducive to daydreaming.
As an extension of the sensory journey, the restaurant of this ryokan in Suwa borrows the flavors of tradition and complements them with Japanese or Western breakfasts. A few steps away, other tables welcome guests, such as the warm Chinese restaurant and a local bistro. For lovers of walks, the flavors marry the landscapes by revealing corners of nature and tasty heritage. Each meal then becomes an ode to discovery.
Japanese Authenticity Rating
6/10 Combining modern and traditional touches, this ryokan offers pleasant but slightly westernized rooms. The cuisine, although correct and varied, lacks Kaiseki refinement. The onsen, attractive, remains simple without a natural source. A pleasant atmosphere but not quite immersively Japanese.
