Shinshu Kamisuwa Onsen Hotel Saginoyu, an Inn with Amber-Colored Private Hot Spring Source

This accommodation, with a history dating back to the Meiji era, exudes a charming sense of nostalgia. While the building is old, it is impeccably cleaned and well-maintained, allowing for a comfortable stay. As someone who is very particular about cleanliness, I thoroughly checked areas like the corners of the room and water facilities for dust or dirt but found everything spotless and hygienic.The open-air bath was fantastic. I had a wonderful time relaxing in the bath with my daughter.The staff were incredibly attentive to my daughter, making her feel happy and excited throughout our stay.As for the meals, while they were generally delicious, I personally do not enjoy carp—a specialty of Lake Suwa—which was disappointing for me. For this reason alone, I would rate this accommodation four stars instead of five.With many international hotels and chain hotels entering the market recently, I sincerely hope that traditional Japanese accommodations like this one—offering heartfelt hospitality—will continue to thrive unchanged in years to come.Thank you very much for your hospitality!

I stayed for one night on September 3rd. I chose this Hotel because of the private open-air bath with a view of Lake Suwa, and it was absolutely the right choice. The Hotel features stunningly beautiful and elegant interiors, and I was extremely satisfied with the exceptional service. I plan to stay here again next time.
