Hamanoyu

The room is big, it only takes 5 minutes to walk to the lake, and there is plenty of food and accommodation. It is beyond expectations. The hot springs are also very good.

I stayed in room 1205 "Kissho" on the top floor. The official website said that this was a suite room that was renovated in March of this year, so I booked this room. When you get off the 12th floor, the top floor, you will enter the elevator hall, which has an automatic lock, and from there you enter the corridor to the suite rooms, which only have four rooms. Then there are entrance doors to each room. Looking back, I noticed that the elevator doors and hall are luxurious and beautiful. The room is 102 square meters. When you go up from the entrance, you will see a tatami-floored corridor, and directly in front of you will see a semi-open-air bath with a natural hot spring water source that overlooks Lake Suwa. I was impressed by how spacious it was. Entering, the room continues to the right. It was a corner room with a 180-degree view of Lake Suwa. A wonderful view. The simple and clean room is spacious and refreshing. If you look closely, you will see Japanese crafts on the bed head and in small places, but the subtle light-colored wood tone is soothing. The room is equipped with an air duct and a humidifier. The linens also have no unpleasant odor. The room was well-cleaned, so I was able to spend a very comfortable time. As expected from a "long-established Japanese inn" The satisfaction level of the bath here was higher than the suite room at my favorite members-only club inn. There were several types of shampoo, so you could choose your favorite scent. This is also nice for women. I felt the hospitality was thoughtful. "I want to stay in this bath all day." If I had to say something, the bed was quite hard, so I had trouble falling asleep. The sofa was also hard. Dinner was served in a private room, and breakfast was served in a large convention hall. The hospitality was attentive and the staff, including veteran older women and young men, were all very friendly. Overall, we really liked it, so my husband and I decided that this was an inn we would definitely like to visit again.

It's a long-established hotel on the shore of Lake Suwa, but strictly speaking it's not on the lake, but rather far away. Therefore, compared to Sagi-no-Yu and Nunohan, which are located on the lakeside, it is definitely not as good in terms of scenery. As a result, the hot springs are spacious, and there are also open-air baths and saunas. The interior of the lobby is luxurious. Since we were eating out this time, we only had breakfast, but instead of a buffet style, they prepared a Japanese set meal for us. The content was quite voluminous. The waiter will refill your rice, but if another customer requests a refill of miso soup, you can get the rice but not the miso soup! I flatly refused. It wasn't crowded, so they should have provided that level of service. Although it was someone else's fault, I felt disappointed.

``Hama-no-Yu'' met all of my standards. It is recommended. Basically, it's an expensive hotel, but thanks to the ``Nationwide Travel Support Shinshu Wari Special,'' I was able to stay at a reasonable price. My personal standards are: ``Spacious with free parking,'' ``Close to the station,'' ``Good cleaning,'' ``Friendly and courteous staff,'' ``Luxurious lobby,'' ``Large public bath and open-air bath,'' and ``Large public bath.'' Lake Suwa is nearby,'' and so on. I think "Hama no Yu" is recommended.
