It was completely unexpected to be able to book this old-fashioned Japanese hotel on Ctrip. April is the off-season for tourism in Suwa City, so the price was very cost-effective.
There is relatively little public transportation in Suwa City. After arriving at JR Kamisuwa Station at night, it takes 20 minutes to walk to the hotel. The sign at the door "Little Hot Spring Hotel by the Lake" makes people laugh. The hotel is run by an old couple in their fifties and sixties, and the reception is very attentive. The room was as expected neat and clean, and the mottled marks on the furniture matched the overall style of the hotel. Moreover, there was no smell that I thought there would be when sleeping on tatami mats in a humid environment by the lake. There are preparation instructions in the room. Although they are not in Chinese, the content is relatively concise and can be understood. There is a restaurant on the first floor, and next door is a small hot spring with clear water and a suitable temperature.
It was unexpected that the convenience store 5 minutes' walk from the hotel closed at 17:00 in the afternoon. The 24-hour convenience store required about 15 minutes' walk. None of the nearby restaurants offer breakfast, so it is best to experience the classic Japanese breakfast at the hotel. Dinner is also available here.
The lake view room faces Suwa Lake, which brings you a smooth and panoramic view of Suwa Lake. At the same time, the noise of cars on the lakeside road at night will cause some discomfort. Consider this when choosing a room type.
Surroundings: There are several restaurants next to the hotel open for lunch. There is a comprehensive hotel called Katakurakan about a 10-minute walk away where you can rent electric bicycles. It is a good choice to cycle around Lake Suwa and the city.
