Recent Reviews in Shimosuwa

Toyoko Inn Matsumoto-eki Higashi-guchi

8/10 Good

"Breakfast was very good but very crowded Staff was friendly and very helpful. Unfortunate we couldn't store luggage at the hotel after checkout and had to rent a storage locker at the train station until 3pm."

Richmond Hotel Matsumoto

8/10 Good

"Richmond Matsumoto is good value for money. It is just 5 mins walk to the train and bus stations, modern and clean, and walking distance to Nawate and the castle. My only gripe is the breakfast, which is delicious but unchanging. I visit Matsumoto yearly, and hope they switch up the offerings to make it more interesting for guests who stay a few nights."

Matsumoto Hotel Kagetsu

10/10 Excellent

"Traditional hotel well placed for local sights."

Dormy Inn Matsumoto Natural Hot Spring

8/10 Good

"Convenient location just 8mns from the train station. We also found good restaurants just minutes away and the Matsumoto castle is close by as well as the YAYOI KUSAMA Museum. Rooms are on the small side and plastic shower cabin adjacent to the toilet are not typically associated with hotels in this price range. Breakfast had a good array of Japanese food choices and some western options too. Staff is very friednly an helpful. Onsen is quite nice with a hot bath inside and another outside. There is a cold pool and a sauna."

Fantastic extras include a welcome drink, and the option of Ramen or ice cream between 8 and 10 PM. A memorable addition to the hotel stay!"

Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Shimosuwa?

The best area to stay in Shimosuwa is around the historic Post Town (Shukuba) district, particularly near Honjin Iwanami House and the Suwa Taisha Shrine's Shimosha Akimiya.This area is the heart of Shimosuwa, offering a glimpse into its rich history as a crucial stop on the Nakasendo trail. You'll find beautifully preserved traditional buildings, local craft shops, and small eateries lining the historic streets. It's wonderfully walkable, allowing you to easily explore the town's heritage.For couples looking for a relaxing and culturally rich getaway, staying in this central area is ideal. You'll be within easy reach of the Suwa Taisha Shimosha shrines (Akimiya and Harumiya), which are significant historical sites, and can enjoy leisurely strolls through the charming streets, perhaps stopping at a traditional tea house.Families will also find this area convenient due to its accessibility to the town's main attractions without needing extensive travel.

When is the best time to go to Shimosuwa?

The best time to go to Shimosuwa is during the spring (April to May) for pleasant weather and cherry blossoms, or in the autumn (October to November) for stunning autumn foliage.Spring in Shimosuwa brings mild temperatures and the beautiful bloom of cherry blossoms, particularly around Lake Suwa and the town's parks. This season is ideal for outdoor activities like walking or cycling around the lake, enjoying the scenic views. It's also a good time to visit the Suwa Taisha Shrine, as the grounds are particularly picturesque.Autumn offers cooler, crisp weather and truly spectacular colours as the leaves on the trees change. The hillsides surrounding Lake Suwa become a patchwork of reds, oranges, and yellows, making it a fantastic time for photography and enjoying nature. You can take boat trips on the lake to see the autumn colours reflected on the water.While summer (July to August) is warm and can be humid, it's a popular time for festivals, including the Lake Suwa Fireworks Festival, one of Japan's largest.
