Hotels near kotee Tenko Museum, Chino

1. The main theme of the hotel is western style, mixed with some Japanese style decoration; 2. Good service, with English speaking waiters; 3. Dinner is acceptable, but there is room for improvement; 4. Adjacent to the Yatsugatake mountain cable car station, it is a good place for hiking, skiing, and hot springs.

The owner and his wife are very warm. I was really grateful for the warm attitude despite the inconvenience caused by the sickness and the fall. The meal was very delicious. Squirrels come every morning. Amenities were also substantial. I want to stay again.

We stayed at Sui Suwako in late October as part of a long Honshu road trip, and we couldn't be more pleased with our experience at Sui Suwako. It's a hybrid Ryokan/Hotel of sorts... it's a 4-story building that lacks a grand entrance or massive property grounds. But it offers rooms that are modern and comfortably appointed, the Omotenashi hospitality of a family-run Ryokan, an onsen bath in each and every room (as well as a terrific rooftop co-ed bath) as well as a terrific Kaiseki dining experience. Given its location in the middle of Nagano, it also serves as a good overnight rest spot if you're coming to/from places such as Tokyo, Fuji, Nagano, the Hokuriku Region, Tsumago/Magome and Karuizawa. Sui Suwako is located on the banks of the enormous Lake Suwa (”Suwa-ko” in Japanese), although there's a somewhat busy road as well as a small park/boardwalk between the property and the lake itself. It's not in the most secluded of locations, but upon entering the building and walking into the reception/common area you'll find that Sui Suwako is an oasis of tranquility. The furnishings and decor are a combination of traditional and modern - liberal use of brightly-colored wood, large windows facing a small yet charming garden, the earthly tones of the furnishings and a smattering of Shoji (dividers that consist of white, semi-translucent sheets on a lattice frame) lend an airy, homely feel. The same is true in the rooms themselves - it's a country home-style feel that gives it a warm, inviting vibe to the entire place. There are a total of 8 rooms (2 on each of the 4 floors) with two slightly different room categories. We choose to stay in the larger of the two types, dubbed the ”Wide Japanese/Western-style Room with Open-air Hot Spring Bath, 75m².” It's slightly larger than the standard rooms, although every room contains a private, (semi-)open-air Onsen (hot springs) bath with views of Lake Suwa towards the far end of the room that also serves as a terrace of sorts. Our room was on the top (5th) floor with wonderful views of the lake, and was sufficiently spacious with a generously-sized living room and a separate bedroom with two large Western-style beds. Another neat feature of Sui Suwako is the open-air Onsen bath on the roof of the building. It offers commanding views of the lake, and it's also co-ed - unlike most Onsen baths, you're permitted to bathe in bathing suits, which allows for an enjoyable Onsen experience with friends and family of the opposite gender. And, given that only a maximum of 8 group of guests will be staying there at any given time, you're more than likely to have the bath all to yourself than sharing it with other guests. I recommend that you go just before dinner during the sunset hours. It's a gorgeous time to chill out and marvel at the beauty and serenity of the area. The dining experience was definitely a highlight. To start with, meals are served in one's own room (horray!) We love this aspect of the ryoka

We stayed twice in November and December. There was only a new hotel and it was clean and comfortable. There was a large TV in the room and I could see a powerful image. The public bath was also very good. I thought it was crowded at night and used it early in the morning, so it was almost rental. The staff at the breakfast venue, the staff at the cleaning staff, and the front desk 々 were very kind and had a great stay to heal fatigue. Only there were not many taxis nearby, and when I called, I had to have a considerable time margin.

The environment is very beautiful, breakfast facing the lake view, the store is friendly, only to climb the stairs to the room on the 2nd floor, it is suitable for light luggage.

I always use it for the Yatsugatake Endurance Tournament held at the next Equestrian Stadium. It's helpful because you can walk early in the morning. It is a pension with a cat. ❗ irresistible for cat lovers.

The annex building is an old building and the rooms are older, but you can use the bathhouse on the 14th floor of the main building. The entire Suwa Lake comes into view, so beautiful and enjoyable. In addition, Shadian has several shuttles to the station, so you don’t need to drag your luggage when you leave in the morning.

At first glance, it is a sober pension, but I was full of fun with the unique atmosphere of my husband and the richness of topics. It is best to think that there is no meal as a free inn. I enjoyed it.
