Ryokans à Shimosuwa

« I don’t believe this accommodation justify the cost if you will stay at this property without dinner and breakfast. I was able to reduce the expense for a night to c. $55 by using Expedia credits equal to $30, but if I didn’t have it, I would recommend to stay another one. Far from the center of Matsumoto Nothing was around the property Nothing would be provided to kids, such as amenities, welcoming tea and snacks, basically. The only nicer point was hot spring with good scene »

« Beautiful hotel! Well conserved for its age. Very original Japanese experience. Great staff, they really get out of their way to make you feel comfortable. Fantastic experience »

« Ce ryokan offre une plongée dans le Japon traditionnel, l'espace d'une nuit. Le personnel est prévenant et adorable, la communication passe bien malgré leurs compétences en anglais limitées, tant ils sont impliqués ! Les chambres sont superbes, les yukatas et kimonos fournis permettent de se mettre immédiatement dans l'ambiance. Ne ratez surtout pas le onsen, ils y en a un pour les hommes, un pour le femmes et un troisième mixte que vous pouvez réserver très facilement. N'hésitez pas à dîner...

« Our stay at Byaku was one of the most memorable experiences on our Japan trip. The hotel exemplifies Japanese artistry in so many ways, from hospitality to cuisine to design. It was a unique opportunity to stay in an historic region in a beautifully renovated historic Japanese structure. »

« 1 nuit en demi-pension chambre japonaise vue sur lac, comme en 2018 & 2017. Intérêts : navette gratuite AR/ gare de Kami-Suwa, onsen un peu vieillot. Inconvénients : accueil uniquement en japonais contrairement aux 2 années précédentes, musique d'ambiance un peu crispante, menu du dîner servi en mini salles à manger et surtout identique en 2017, 2018 & 2019. Menu de qualité très moyenne (9 voyages au Japon, cela me permet de faire des comparaisons). Salle de bain privative sombre avec seulement...

« A really old-fashioned Japanese onsen experience like nothing else. We ate in the Japanese restaurant one night and French the other evening. The food was fantastic. Rooms were comfortable but old fashioned. I would highly recommend the room with a private onsen - we saw tanuke (Japanese raccoon dogs) approach whilst we were bathing which was a really special experience. We hiked to the ridge (5 hours return) through a beautiful forest. »

« 温泉の種類が豊富で、朝食も健康的ながらも美味しく感じた。諏訪湖や上諏訪駅へのアクセスも良い。 »

« The property is small and lovely. The juxtaposition of the noisy chaos of Tokyo, with this relaxing oasis was just what we needed. The staff were so helpful and communicative. The food was delicious and the private onsens were absolutely beautiful. There isn’t much to do in the area but we didn’t mind because the hotel itself is hard to leave. »
