A first-class inn that you'll want to stay at once in your lifetime, offering the finest service and gourmet food in a luxurious location. This time, we will introduce carefully selected inns where you can spend an extraordinarily luxurious time in Nagano, which is home to Japan's leading resort areas such as Hakuba, Yatsugatake, and Karuizawa. Please stay at one of these inns for a special trip.
Nagano is known for its dynamic nature, with its 3000m-class mountains and vast Lake Suwa, and there are inns for adults where you can enjoy a relaxing stay amidst breathtaking scenery. This time, we will carefully select and introduce inns that are worthy of the name of first-class in every aspect of their location, meal, and service. Treat yourself to a special trip with your loved ones, or enjoy a relaxing stay.
The first place I would like to introduce is Suwa no Yuyado Suisui-Lake Suwa, located in Suwa City. It is a superb view inn where you can overlook Lake Suwa from your room. There are only 8 rooms in total, and children are not allowed, so it is truly a hideaway for adults. Enjoy the luxury of doing nothing while enjoying the ever-changing scenery of Lake Suwa.
What I would like to mention at "Relaxing Suwa no Yuyado Suisui-Lake Suwa" is the open-air bath with a view that integrates with Lake Suwa. It is a mixed bathing style bath where you can enter with your original bathing suit, and it is equipped with a drink bar and Wi-Fi so that you can spend a relaxing time. Please spend a blissful time to your heart's content as you relax by the pool.
Of course, the condition of a first-class inn is that it not only has onsen, but also has plenty of food. A popular menu item is the pottery-grilled Shinshu beef, which is a local brand of beef. Starting with seasonings such as miso and soy sauce, the ingredients are carefully selected, mainly from Shinshu, so you can enjoy delicious dishes that take time and effort.

Next, we will introduce “Yorozuya”, a long-established store in Yudanaka Onsen, Yamanouchi-cho, Kita-onsen which has been in business since the Edo period. This ryokan is divided into the main building and Shoraiso, but if you want to spend a more luxurious time, we recommend staying in Shoraiso. The wooden Sukiya-zukuri building was built by a local shrine carpenter, and uses rare wood that is hard to obtain today. Please enjoy a stay that can only be experienced here at an inn that has architectural value.
At Yorozuya, which has a long history, you can't miss the "Momoyama Bath", which is designated as a registered tangible cultural property of Japan. The spectacular bath with a spectacular coffered ceiling is breathtaking. Please enjoy the valuable experience of enjoying a hot bath in a historic building.
