Hightlight of My Honeymooon Trip

Reviewed By Yolandacalista

I went to Konansou appox. December 2018 for my Honeymoon trip. I can confidently say that staying in Konansou was definitely the highlight of my honeymoon trip. I got a japanese tatami room, facing the lovely Kawaguchiko, and ot was so comfortable. The service was excellent too, the service you would expect from Japanese Hospitality. The kaiseki dinner was amazing. They have a rooftop where they have a foot onsen, with a clear view of Mount Fuji. We got lucky that we could see the mountain clearly. The onsen was superb too, the perfect way to end the night. It was a really awesome experience. I would stay again for sure at Konansou.

A Lovely Atmosphere

Reviewed By Journey706434

My husband and I spent one night here to celebrate our 48th Wedding Anniversary. The facilities were lovely in our private room with its own onsen-style bath. We asked for a room with beds instead of “futon” and were very comfortable. The amenities (in the bath area) were generous. The evening meal was outstanding.

Shinyu gets an Excellent from my family.

Reviewed By SandBTokyo

We 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.

Got My Snow Fix

Reviewed By tttora11

Wanted 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.

Shibu-Onsen hot spring baths and Ryoken

The 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.

Absolutely stunning, incredible meals

This place is incredible. Staff were very rh friendly, welcoming and helpful. Stunning setting looking over the lake Kawaguchiko. Calm serene corridors. Beautiful traditional rooms with futon on tatayama mats with large window views. Private onsen good value for money and public onsen also had beautiful views. All very clean. Toiletries really lovely. The Yukata we were loaned to wear were beautiful and so comfy. Finally, the set meals are 100% worth including. Absolutely stunning array of traditional Japanese cuisine over 7+ courses. We were very contented and very relaxed staying here - so much so we stayed another night last minute.

Decent ryokan in a great setting

Reviewed By railtripper333

Stayed 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.
