Retreat to calm you down
The accommodation was better than expected. The internal balcony made the room more usable and it felt larger than we expected. It was lovely to sit on the balcony to unwind and look at the view. The private dining experience (i think this is standard for those choosing the 1/2 board option) was a highlight. Course after course delughted us. The wait staff were excellent, very attentive and explained things well to us. Their patience was amazing, given our poor to non existent Japanese. It is styled as a health retreat with menus chosen to be healthy and it has facilities such as the very pleasant onsen. highly recommend a stay here.

Magical place for Your Name fans
This was my first Ryokan experience, and it was incredible. Shinkai used Lake Suwa as the inspiration for Tomorrow in Your Name. As a huge fan of the film, I wanted to visit Suwa to see the place for myself, and wanted to do it while staying at a Ryokan. Shinyu offered a room with a lake view, so it sounded perfect. Every staff member was incredibly friendly. For English speakers, they have all the important information in English and most of the staff spoke English well enough to be able to help you out. Don't worry if you don't speak Japanese! Top tip: if you speak "tourist level" Japanese like me, at dinner, just use English. They have English menus with descriptions of the food and an English speaking staff member will attend to you. I didn't do this, and the staff member passionately explained the origins of the appetisers. I understood almost none of it, and felt very guilty afterwards for letting him speak! After a lovely dinner and relaxing soak in the Onsen, I watched Your Name in front of the lake view. If that sounds perfect to you, do yourself a favour and go! On the way out, I mentioned to a lovely staff member that I came because of Your Name, and she recommended visiting Tateishi Koen before I left. If you're reading this: thank you so much for being thoughtful and recommending that. It was nothing more or less, than a breathtaking view. Fantastic Ryokan in a fantastic location.

Lake Suwa
Lovely locations as it’s right where the lake Suwa is, just walk across the road and it’s the lane. And there is a bicycle rental at the lake so it’s perfect place to stay and rent a bicycle for the day to cycle around the lake. 16km to complete a full perimeter of the late. It’s a MUST do, lovely.

Like - Professional and courteous and attentive staff. Great Food. Good Onsen. The nearby Clasuwa restaurant was fabulously good. Numerous things to do and see around the lake, and there were thousands of migrating ducks and other birds on the lake. Didn't like - No Lake view as advertised, room otherwise fine, but was in the center of the building. View was 2/3 adjoining wing wall and 1/3 parking lot

Very friendly and accommodating staff, cozy establishment with great food. Private reservation onsen is available albeit the price being slightly on the higher side. Has free shuttles to the station making it very accessible. Opposite the hotel is the kamisuwa lake side park with free foot baths. Number of close by restaurants which are of very good quality as well for lunch.

Very good hotel and amazing service
Great stay overall, staff were absolutely amazing and so was the food and private onsen. The only minus is that our room did not have a shower which was very inconvenient if you don’t fancy to have a shower in the public bathroom on the different floor.

Onsen by Lake Suwa
The trip felt very exlcusive and private throughout. We were able to get a booking for a private onsen as I have tattoos. The dinner hall is a setting where guests are in their individual rooms. The bathroom and toilet were a little outdated but overall it was an enjoyable experience.

Not sure if there is any shuttle bus can be arranged from the train station to the hotel, we have chosen to walk to the hotel from Kami-Suwa station and it took us 15-20mins. We need to pass through a flyover and walk along narrow pedestrian paths which is not easy when you carry bulky luggages. We have stayed in the President suite in the hotel with private onsen, the room is very big, neat and tidy. As we checked in late, we have enjoyed a wonderful dinner in our suite and the private onsen. The breakfast was also excellent. The hotel staff are helpful with smile always, and they arranged us a free shuttle bus to the train station when we left to the train station. Overall it was excellent, however, the check out time is too early at 10a.m and costs applied for later check out.
