Shinshu Kamisuwa Onsen Hotel Saginoyu, an Inn with Amber-Colored Private Hot Spring Source

I stayed one night as a solo traveler in a Room with an open-air bath. The free-flowing, natural hot spring open-air bath had a slightly silky texture—truly an Onsen. I also appreciated being able to adjust the temperature by adding water. Having the open-air bath all to myself while looking out over Lake Suwa was amazing. The entire Accommodation felt refined and elegant rather than flashy, with beautiful interiors and a lovely Japanese garden. The staff were all warm and kind, and I was able to relax throughout my stay. Since I could only stay one night this time, I’d love to come back again. I liked the in-room bath so much that I didn’t make it to the large public bath, so next time I’d like to try the large public bath and the cypress open-air bath as well.

Thank you for taking care of us over the weekend.My spouse and I truly enjoyed our stay—it was an Onsen we almost want to keep secret.We stayed in a Western-style twin Room with a semi-open-air bath, and we were able to relax as if we were at home. We also had access to the lounge, so we enjoyed sparkling wine as well.The Onsen water quality felt great from the moment we stepped in.The meals paired well with sake and were excellent.We would love to visit again.
