Kamisuwa Onsen Shinyu opened in April, 2014 and was born in the historical area, where has Takajima Castle and Suwa Shrine. Fresh spring water, cuisines full of local nature, rooms with beautiful lake view, etc. The sophisticated atmosphere, healing arts, all for your relaxing stay.
Shinyu gets an Excellent from my family.
Reviewed By SandBTokyoWe decided to stop in Suwa to break up a long drive back to Tokyo. Shinyu looked very good and the price was reasonable. The hotel is renovated and gives a nice modern spa hotel atmosphere. The greeting at the hotel is very nice and the lobby area is beautiful. We felt very welcomed when we arrived. Our room was facing the lake. It was Japanese style with tatami and futons. Nice room, nice view. The public bath was nice. Not huge but felt very good. They have an indoor bath, small outdoor bath, a sauna and a cold bath. Dinner was great, as was breakfast. They were both courses and delicious. Service? Well, this is what makes all the difference. When we book hotels we need to detail my daughter's food allergies which are serious. For this trip we had booked many hotels in a row and for some reason when we booked Shinyu and checked-in we just forgot. It was our fault and when we sat for dinner we saw her prepared meal that she obviously could not eat. The staff at Shinyu didn't miss a beat. The didn't make a big deal about it. No stress. The quickly adjusted and made a wonderful dinner for my daughter and also prepared for her breakfast in similar fashion. Wonderful. Such great service. Maybe the building isn't perfect. But the service was perfect. Shinyu was our last stop on our trip and we left with a smile. Shinyu gets an "Excellent" from my family.

Kamikochi Heights is one of the most scenic mountains of Japan. Our hotel is by the famous bridge, Kappabashi, surrounded by stunning natural beauty. Sit back and enjoy Western style cuisin.
Wonderful views of the Japanese Alps
Reviewed By tribecatravlerWe visited Kamikochi in late May and were delighted to find this hotel was open. I believe it was the only hotel open at the time, given COVID and recent earthquakes. We had a comfortable room with an amazing view of the Japanese Alps. Just like on their website. For dinner we chose the Japanese course, which was fine. The service was excellent. I think this hotel might have the best mountain views of any of the hotels in Kamikochi. The outside porch is amazing. I believe there might have only been one or two other rooms taken when we were there and we were appreciative of the efforts made to make us comfortable.

Vegetarians/Vegans: LOOK NO FURTHER - This place is amazing!
Reviewed By gcincinnatiIt's not just about the food. It's the ENTIRE PACKAGE. I cannot recommend this place strongly enough. We have lived in Japan for seven years: we are from the US and UK, speak English and some Japanese, have tattoos, and are vegetarians. It is HARD to find places that can accommodate our dietary needs AND allow us to use the public baths. All of the pluses for us: It appears to be family-owned. They speak ENGLISH, and well. They provided SUPERIOR omotenashi (customer service). They can accommodate vegetarians AND vegans. Oh, you have tattoos? It's cool; you can still use the public bath. It's located right along the river, and you can choose to have a river or mountain view (the backside), and both are excellent. The bedding was amazing. The bath was great, clean, with good shampoo and conditioner, and provided hair dryers. It's a mountain lodge. It's all old-wood and exposed beams in the public areas. It's gorgeous. The cafe near the entrance is excellent! Gifts and great drinks and snacks right there! * When I say 'omotenashi,' I mean Japan's brand of customer service. Most of the ryokan we have visited in the country have gone above and beyond what we were used to in our home countries in general. But the major thing that stuck with this lodge was the phone help. I'm a pretty obnoxious prospective guest. I have a ton of questions, and although I can get most of them out in Japanese, it's important to me that the place speaks at least a little English if there are any issues. Besides being happy to speak with me in English on all three occasions that I called them, the owner helped me work out how to take advantage of the Go To Travel discount. He didn't have to do that. The owner gave me specific instructions on where to go on their website to get the discount. Because of him, we got a stellar room with an excellent view (33!). Otherwise, we would have got a budget room on the English-language site since that's all that was being offered there. The food was the best we've had in our time traveling around the country. It was as if there was an actual team of vegetarians in the kitchen, making spectacular, diverse, and creative meals for us specifically. It was all so good. The location is right across the bridge from the bus terminal, a 7-minute walk once you step off the bus (cars aren't allowed in Kamikochi). You are right in the middle of all of the trails - 3.5 km to each end of the area. You can walk left one day and walk right the next. It's all walkable. The sound of the river definitely put us to sleep each night, and the bedding was fine. We were extremely comfortable over the two nights/3 days we were there.

Got My Snow Fix
Reviewed By tttora11Wanted to see some proper snow after being deprived of it for a couple years in Tokyo, and certainly got my fix here. Town and countryside were a magical white on arrival, and had some steady snow falls during my 1-week stay. Also easy access to the local ski-fields at nearby Shiga Kogen and Ryuo. Hotel is a 10 min walk uphill from station, which is terminus for a convenient connecting express train from Nagano bullet train. Friendly, professional hotel staff. Nice town/mountain views from lobby/lounge. Delicious kaiseki-style breakfast. Two types of baths - large public bath downstairs, and open air private bath on the roof (great for watching the sunset), and they even have gaijin-sized yukata owns! Nice town/mountain views from lobby/lounge. Good base for exploring nearby shrines/temples around Yudanaka and historic Shibu Onsen. Of course the visit to the snow monkeys is a highlight, not to mention the amazing hill-side hike to get there! Great late-winter escape.

Decent ryokan in a great setting
Reviewed By railtripper333Stayed two nights here in late February, there seemed to be many guests staying for snowshoe trekking (through the Kama tunnel and beyond) We didn’t come with the right type of boots, so we missed out. Coming by car, we were helpfully advised in advance to hire a 4WD, as the mountain pass (Abō Pass - closed in winter to all but hotel guests and staff) from the main road can get icy. The setting high in the mountains is fabulous. The big windows in the lobby has a fantastic view on a clear day. Our twin room was a lot smaller than we’re used to in a ryokan, but the view of the mountains made up for it. No en-suite shower or bath, but the onsens downstairs were very adequate. I loved the bird feeder next to one of the outside baths - birdwatching and bathing, what joy! (On the downside, the outside onsen wasn’t quite hot enough for me in February on a snowy day). Overall, a good mid-range ryokan catering for hikers and mountain lovers, with decent facilities, meals, and a great view.
8. Yumoto Saito Ryokan

4.5 based on 99 reviews
Beyond what we expected
Reviewed By kraijan sI've been to Ryokan in Japan before but Yumoto Saito topped up my ryokan experience to another level. Service - All the staff was super helpful and friendly. They really did try to help us even a little small request at midnight. Apart from the room, their service would be another reason for me to go back to stay at this place again. I really felt like home. Room - We booked a villa at the Kaizen-sou villa, the same building with public onsens. The room was spacious and clean. We even had our own toilet (which was a relief for us!) The bonus point was we have our own outdoor bath that we can overlook the mountain view by ourselves. I totally recommended staying at the Kaizen-sou villa if you have a chance. There's no wifi in the room. But we wouldn't bother about it that much because we have such a nice view for us to enjoy. Food - Our room was also included dinner and breakfast and they served us at the private dining room. Yes, we felt super VIP! The food was AWESOME. They served with 10+ small plates that fill you up nicely. Onsen - OK, this is the best part of this ryokan. The public outdoor onsens were AMAZING. Imagine it's about 7c and you dip yourself in the hot onsen. Absolutely blessed! This ryokan is also famous for the onsen - it's white water onsen from the Shirahone onsen village. If you still decided whether you should stay at this ryokan, well, from my review I think you probably get the answer!

perfect choice for a reykan
Reviewed By lawlwWe had great time in this reyokan.This is not a luxury hotel, but it provides an experience of traditional Japanese hospitality. The lack of English has been replaced with optimal service, including assistance in sending suitcases to Tokyo and transportation to the train station. The onsen was a real gem at the end of a long day. Great value for money.

Shibu-Onsen hot spring baths and Ryoken
Reviewed By Joey HThe absolute best Onsen I have ever been to. I highly recommend a stay here. The hot springs are so soothing, and there is a variety of baths to choose from. The food can’t be beat, I truly enjoyed the multi course traditional meals. The staff goes above and beyond and exceeded my expectations. A big thanks to Shoya! He made my stay extra fun. I hope to return soon
