Luxury Hotels in Tateshina

The onsen was beautifully located so that you can view the scenery outside. The food was magnificent and presented very well. They were all very courteous and generous with their time.

If I would have to sum up my stay in one word it will be Perfection. I have been to a lot of ryokans, and this is one of the bests, if not the best. The moment you first enter the ryokan, and take off your shoes, you are greeted by the amazing staff with tea and local handmade treat, before being lead to your suite. The suite itself is beautifully decorated, spacious and comes with amazing view of lake Suwa from both the common area and the private onsen. Both dinner and breakfast, which are made from seasonal and local ingredients and change daily, were delicious and an amazing experience. The staff were kind to make onigiri, rice balls, from the dinner's leftover rice and deliver them to the suite. At night the first floor tea room becomes a bar serving amazing local sake, and other drinks, along with food. The roof mixed bath was one of the stay highlights, the amazing view of lake Suwa and the surrounding towns as the sun set, painting everything in orange and purple, and then when it became dark and all the lights were turned on was beautiful. The sunrise also was worth waking up for.

The apartment was very well equipped, it was comfortable and cosy. The view was really beautiful.
