Find the Cheap Suzaka Hotels

We've never experienced such friendliness and care before. Marina-san is a cool and energetic person, and her staff members are no different. The staff did above and beyond by anticipating all our needs and helping us visit many local attracttions. Kura Guesthouse is unique in how it connects the travellers to the local community, so almost every night we got a chance to meet young local people who come to the guesthouse just to hang out and practice English. Marina-san and her staff are the most amazing hosts we ever had. Every night we talked for hours with them and with other guests. The guesthouse is very accessible, only 40 minutes from Nagano by convenient public transport, and the local towns Suzaka, Obuse and Yudanaka have so much to offer that we felt like we just want to explore more and more. We stayed at Kura for 6 days, did nature hikes, saw beautiful temples and waterfalls, visited art museums and nice cafes, and there's still so much more to see that we couldn't fit in 6 days! Plus, there's a cafe run by Marina's mother and lots of tasty food at walking distance.

Awesome service is the best

This is a hot spring facility where you can take a day trip to the hot spring and stay overnight. Akebi-no-Yu is the only hot spring inn in Obuse, offering a spectacular view of the Northern Alps, the Hokushin Five Mountains, and Zenkojidaira. First, when I went to the bath area, I could smell sulfur. When I first went to the open-air bath, the water was cloudy. The indoor bath was a strange greenish color. I thought the bathtub had green tiles. After we meet up, are the open-air baths and indoor baths different hot springs? That's what he said. According to the inn's brochure, the hot springs appear in a variety of colors depending on the climate, from clear and colorless to green to cloudy. Since this is a day trip hot spring, only shampoo-in-rinse shampoo and body soap are available. There are no amenities in the washroom area. In the room I stayed in, there was a bag containing small cosmetics, conditioner, brush, toothbrush, etc. When I went to take a bath the next morning after 6 o'clock, there were quite a few people coming back for the day. Since it was a Sunday morning, I thought not many people would come to the day trip hot springs even after 6 o'clock, but they started coming one after the other. That's surprising. I think that's how good the hot springs are. Well, the room was a simple Western room, but it was spacious and had a spectacular view of the mountains from the window of the room. In the room I stayed in, there was a bag containing small cosmetics, conditioner, brush, toothbrush, etc. We had dinner in a large private Japanese-style room. It looked good, tasted good, and went well with local sake. The fried food was fried rockfish with black vinegar sauce, and since most of the rockfish were eaten grilled whole, it was unique and delicious because you could eat it from the head on. The one I had was grilled chicken on a ceramic plate with Shinshu miso, and it was a combination of sweet and salty miso and butter. The most expensive local sake was 890 yen (300cc), which I was happy about. The local sake from Obuse was delicious. The person in charge of the restaurant had very good customer service. We also had breakfast in a private room. The rice was delicious and the quantity was good, and we were served coffee at the end. It was an accommodation with good hot springs, a spectacular view of the mountains, delicious food, and good hospitality.

I had dinner B course. A set of appetizers, fish dishes, meat dishes, desserts, drinks and bread. It was Friday, but the indoor table seats were full. There were about 4 groups other than us. It seemed that guests 々 also came. I think it's safer to make a reservation. All the dishes were very delicious. As it was Shinshu, the vegetables were very fresh, and the chestnut claim brulee I received at the end was especially excellent. I want to ask you again.

This Ryokan is set in the most beautiful landscape. It’s a bit far from Nagano station, so you would probably be better off renting a car if you are comfortable driving in Japan. The staff is incredibly friendly and helpful (I speak no Japanese except for greetings and “thank you very much”) The meals were fantastic! The spread at breakfast and dinner was really impressive, filled with delicious fish, meats, egg, rice, pickled things, stews/soups and really fresh fruit. I think most—if not all—of the food was locally sourced, which also usually included an element of apple which was really interesting (this region has apple orchards EVERYWHERE, even more than I’ve seen where I’m from in New York). You can also order beer, sake, alcohol free beer or soft drinks with the dinners. (we had 3 dinners/3 breakfasts during our stay) I would definitely recommend this Ryokan for its private Onsens (hot baths). There are 3 separate Onsens that are completely private which was great because 3 of us in the group have tattoos and that wasn’t an issue here at all. Also, 2 of the onsen baths are outdoors which was great in the October cool air. Plan ahead for some excursions to the mountains for skiing, hiking, hot springs, snow monkey areas, or visit the national parks.
