萃諏訪湖旅館(Sui Suwako)

サービス、料理、ホスピタリティ等、いずれも素晴らしく滞在期間をしっかり満喫できました。 滞在期間中、他の宿泊者に会うことは殆どありませんでしたので、プライベート感もしっかり感じることができました。 またぜひ宿泊させていただきたいと思います。

We intended to check out the Lake Suwa area of Nagano to view the autumn leaves, which were peaking during the time of our visit, and we couldn't think of a better option than to return to the marvelous Sui Suwako ryokan. We were pleased to find that the establishment was as delightful as we remembered it. We stayed here just a year and a half ago, so I won't go into detail regarding every aspect of our stay. Just a few things that bear repeating, however. At just 8 rooms, this ryokan offers an incredibly bespoke experience for each group of guests. Also, each of the rooms has its own in-room free-flowing Onsen (hot springs) bath. And should you want to enjoy the open-air Onsen on the roof (with an awesome view of Lake Suwa, especially at sunset), you can take a dip with members of other genders because swimsuits are not only permitted, but are available to borrow from the ryokan. Service level is very high here. As was the case last time, we were assigned a butler that tended to our room as well as our meals (which are served in a private ko****su room for each and every group of guests.) Our wonderful butler during our previous stay was on leave of absence, but we were delighted to have gotten to know the wonderful Ms. Minri Ko, who was as competent, attentive and knowledgeable as she was warm and charming. The dining experience was sublime. Not every offering was a "best ever" serving, but that's not what we were after (nor should you seek it here.) While everything really is delicious, what's more impressive is their ability to serve local dishes with local ingredients, which really adds to the overall sense of place. Soba (buckwheat noodles), Basashi (raw horsemeat), Wakasagi (Japanese Smelt from Lake Suwa) Tempura were among the highlights. Breakfast was equally imaginative and well executed - many ryokans really mail in the breakfast - they're all good (how can Japanese breakfasts not be?), but can be the same 'ol thing. At Sui Suwako, they really go the extra mile in bringing out the flavors of the local, seasonal produce and fish from the area. Yet again, we left Sui Suwako with a deeper understanding and appreciation of this part of Japan. And that's part of why we travel to far-flung places, right?

県内在住ですが、妻と二人でのんびりくつろぎたい時に利用します。 館内は、落ち着いていますが、ところどころに飾られているセンスのいい草花には癒やされます。全て畳で清掃が行き届いており、履物無しでどこでも移動できます。 今回の利用では、妻が誕生日でしたので、予約時に伝えたところ、フルーツのサービスがありました。チョコレートでメッセージが書いてあり、妻もとても喜んでいたため、記念日の利用にもおすすめです。 なんといっても部屋のお風呂がとても落ち着きます。長めの良い中で上品なヒノキの香りとともに源泉のお風呂が楽しめます。部屋から見る景色は季節によって全く違う顔を見せ、とても気持ちがいいので、各季節ごとに来ると、毎回違う景色を楽しめます。 夜には満天の星空が広がりますので、夜の散策もおすすめです。次回は春に伺う予定です。 スタッフの方々も感じのいい方々ばかりなので、心を癒やしたいときにはおすすめです。

ゆっくりと過ごしたい人にはかなりおすすめです。 ホスピタリティが高く、安心して滞在することが出来ました。 また行きたいと思う施設です。

部屋が広くて、ベットも寝心地がよく、温泉が付いてとても快適です。スタッフさん全員がとても親切です。

温泉も食事も満足です。屋上の混浴露天風呂は寒くて長居は出来ませんでしたが、景色は最高。
