Ryokans i Narai-juku

“Hotel is about 15 minutes from train station. Check in was straight forward. Price included kaiseki dinner in dining area which features sukiyaki, tempura, sashimi and assorted appetizers. Self serve rice and miso soup. Buffwt breakfast was also included and was very good. Hotel has a public bath. Free sodas, coffee and juice available all day. Tatami room was spacious and had 2 single beds which were firm but comfortable.”

“Great location that just next to the lake Suwa. Luckily we can enjoy the Sakura on the riverside through the window of our room. The service for breakfast and dinner is good and thanks for the recommendation of the staff, Yu, for going to see the Sakura in a castle park nearby. That’s amazing.”

“A must for special occasion. Amazing service, dinner was to die for. Something very special ”

“Simply wow. the room, top notch japanese food, excellent service , the onsen and not forgetting the secluded location all helped to make our stay unforgettable. The perfect way to end our Japanese adventure. ”

“Amazing ryoken”

“Awanoyu is among one of those onsen ryokans we love the traditional ambience. Its open air spa is exceptional in the natural serenade!!”

“This Ryokan was amazing! It was doable on the trains though it i out of the way of major cities but that is the point. Very relaxing and the osen was amazing. Would recommend this to anyone wanting a traditional experience. Also the food was fantastic!! ”

“客室、レストランなどリニューアルされていてとても快適。 夕食、朝食も大変満足いくものでした。 もちろん岩風呂は最高！ また利用させていただきます!”

“今回、8月12日身内に不幸ごとがあり、その3週間前から.危険な状態が続いていたので、7月末にキャンセルをしました。しかし、私のキャンセルのし忘れだったホテルがあったみたいで、ご迷惑をかけました。別のホテルは、こちらの状態を聞いていただき、本当にかかった経費だけの請求でしたが、こちらのホテルは、宿泊予定だった翌日のしかも朝の7時過ぎに電話一本で無愛想に連絡があり、こちらの状態も確認せず、全額払とてほしいとのことでした。年配の責任者でしたが、サービス業とは思えない対応と心配りに欠ける責任者でした。全額振込みましたが。もう二度と予約はしないです。”

“観光に便利な場所で快適に過ごせました。”

“Amazing place. ”

“駐車場もあり、車があれば不便ではない場所だと思います。お値段もお安く満足しています。”

“宿からの景色が最高でした 紅葉には少し早かったですが 夕日や松本市内夜景は綺麗でした”

“野天風呂も清潔で、趣きが良かった”

“温泉、料理とも素晴らしい。部屋から諏訪湖は見えないが、歩いて3分で湖畔散策可能。スタッフも素晴らしい。忘れ物をしたが10分で携帯に連絡してくれた。”

“Staff were great, especially Yoko as she spoke English and was able to help with requests. One source of stress was having to pay in cash if you elect to pay at the accommodation. This should be made clear when booking. We would have happily paid by credit card in advance had it been made clear. No one from overseas carries that kind of cash. The ryokan should be encouraged to adjust their "rule" and take credit cards.”

“Great stay, excellent food, very friendly and helpful people. ”

“The house itself is beautiful but all around it is extremely badly taking care of. The yard is a mess, the grass high, and just next to some run down green houses. Some kind of a huge computer was making a terrible noise when we arrived, the owner allow us to turned it off thankfully. Could be a wonderful place to stay ”

“五右衛門風呂がすごく気に入りました！ 薪ストーブも！”
