Kamisuwa Onsen Aburaya Ryokan

It is a time-honored hotel, and it is also a chain hotel of Itoen. Both the interior decoration and the rooms can be seen to have aged, but they have been maintained well. The open-air bath on the top floor has a panoramic view of Lake Suwa. The water temperature is also good and the bath is very comfortable. The breakfast tastes good, offering both Western and Japanese flavors, with plenty of choices.

It’s really good. Breakfast and dinner are all buffets on the first floor, which are very delicious. There are free drinks both during and after meals. It’s great! And the hot springs are also very good, very comfortable, a proper Japanese life, worth experiencing

温泉是真的，泡温泉的地方一般。房間很大很乾凈，我們住的的榻榻米的日式房，目測可以住三四個人沒問題。

I used it for the holidays in November 2023. Since it was a last-minute plan, there weren't many accommodations available, but Aburaya Ryokan was open, so I made a reservation. To be honest, I didn't have high expectations, but when I stayed there, I was glad that I had a very comfortable stay. The next day, I wanted to leave by 8:00, so I was thinking of having breakfast early, but I was told that there would be two breakfasts, one from 7:00 to 8:00 and one from 8:00 to 9:00. When I checked with the front desk, it seemed like they had managed to find a space and I was able to have breakfast starting at 7:00. (Thank you very much for that part.) We had a great time and made some great memories. I would also like to use it if I have the opportunity.

I made a reservation through National Travel Support. The lobby is beautifully decorated in the style of a Japanese garden. I booked a 10 tatami room, and there was a sunken kotatsu-style table, and the view of Lake Suwa was great, probably because it was on the 5th floor. There were two sinks and it was spacious. The futons were already drawn when I arrived, but this was done to keep the accommodation costs low, so I didn't mind at all. The baths are either an open-air bath on the 7th floor or an indoor bath on the 1st floor. It's not that big, but the view from the 7th floor is great, and you can see the lights on the other side of Lake Suwa. All-you-can-drink, all-you-can-eat meals, and local sake are also available. On this day, I was satisfied with the roast beef one plate plus. My wife has bad legs, so they brought a chair to our room and set us up a seat close to where we would go to get our meals.It was a good inn where I felt the staff were considerate.
