SUHAKU

I made a last-minute Reservation the day before my stay. I was traveling solo, but chose the renovated Deluxe Modern (Japanese-Western Room), 52 m², for single occupancy. It was huge! With twin beds and even a tatami room spacious enough to lay out three futons, I could truly unwind and relax. The Onsen had two types of baths: a reddish, iron-rich spring and a clear one. I enjoyed the open-air bath while watching the sunset over Lake Suwa. Both dinner and breakfast were served in the restaurant, and thanks to the staff’s attentive yet unobtrusive service, I felt comfortable dining alone. The property was kept very clean throughout, so I’d also recommend it for a girls’ trip.

The parking lot is a little far away, but they help carry your luggage, so it wasn’t a problem. Soaking at leisure in the open-air bath with brown mineral water and a panoramic view of Lake Suwa made all my fatigue melt away. Both breakfast and dinner were delicious, and I really appreciated the care they took to serve hot dishes hot. True to its name as an annex, I’d love to visit again.
